CODEPINK recognizes Palestinians as the rightful owners and caretakers of Palestine, their indigenous homeland. We support Palestinians’ right to resist the violent Israeli occupation of Palestine. We are committed to supporting Palestinian liberation from abroad, using the demands of Palestinians as our guideline for organizing, and we endorse the BDS movement. Our priority at CODEPINK is to educate and empower our audience to take action for Palestine!
CODEPINK, in partnership with Palestine Youth Movement’s campaign #MaskOffMaersk, is applying pressure on Maersk, the multinational shipping company sending military cargo to Israel. In unmasking Maersk, we’ve learned that Zurich Insurance insures Maersk’s weapons shipments to Israel for its genocide in Gaza.
No one should insure Maersk’s weapons shipments, either to military contractors in the United States or to the Israel Occupation Forces (IOF). Zurich Insurance, based in Switzerland, and Maersk shipping, based in Denmark, both violate obligations under international law, effectively operating outside the law to ensure the slaughter of innocent Palestinians. As international accountability for Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza catches up, Zurich Insurance will inevitably have to speak to the crimes it facilitated.
Sign the petition telling Zurich Insurance: Cut ties with Maersk! Cut ties with genocide!
We are thrilled to bring you a brand new website BoughtByZionism.org that exposes the Zionist lobby machine — check it out and take action!
