🚢💥 Maersk shareholders block resolutions to stop arms shipments to Israel.

Amid global protests, the shareholders of shipping giant Maersk voted at their AGM against resolutions that would have stopped arms shipments to Israel.

Although the two resolutions ultimately did not pass, “our actions around the world made sure that Maersk could not ignore our demands,” Jeanine Hourani, a lead organizer in the Mask Off Maersk campaign, told Peoples Dispatch. “We know that it’s going to take a diversity of tactics applied on a global level to pressure Maersk to cut ties with genocide. Shareholder pressure is only one of these pressure points.

“The massacres that Israel is committing on the Palestinian people cannot be carried out without the flow of weapon components that logistics companies such as Maersk facilitate,” read a statement by the Mask of Maersk campaign. “Maersk is a lifeline of Israel’s war machine, ensuring that the bombs keep falling, the tanks keep rolling, and the massacres continue. They are the arteries of the genocide on Gaza.”
