Cut the Weapons to Israel
Our Billboard is Up
The Stop Arming Israel Coalition
A number of groups and individuals have rented an electronic billboard in Connecticut over I-95. You see it as I-91 ends and empties onto I-95 South towards New York. It will be up from February 10 through March 10.
Links to the groups in the coalition are listed below along with those names of people who donated and who want to be public about this.
We encourage you to go to their sites

To Stop the War, Stop the River of Weapons
The Israeli military and armed settlers have been engaging in horrendous attacks against Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank. The violence used by those forces in Gaza amounts to genocide. So says the International Court of Justice and Amnesty International. Israeli attacks in the West Bank are not on that scale but Israel is using all kinds of weaponry from rifles, to drones to jets. Ominously Israel has launched "Operation Iron Wall" in which it has said it would use the "lessons it learned in Gaza." In the last 15 months tens or hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been killed.
This must stop!
It won't stop until the U.S. and other countries cut off the weapons to Israel. We're hoping to put up an electronic billboard for a month with the message on the left.
The Connecticut Treasury and Israeli Weapons
The Connecticut treasury has over a million dollars invested in Israel's biggest weapons company, Elbit. That company makes drones that were involved in terrible attacks on civilians including the 2024 attack on World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza in which seven people were killed.
All told CT has over $100 million invested in Israeli companies, stocks, bonds, shekels and State of Israel Bonds
