Hang Up on Motorola! Demo at Verizon in Santa Clara
Motorola Targeted for Providing Weapons and Communications to Israeli Army
Activists took a stand for human rights in front of a Verizon Store in Santa Clara, California on March 30th. Verizon carries Motorola cell phones and accessories — Motorola makes military guidance systems and fuses used in a variety of bombs which they sell to the Israeli army. Demonstrators passed out flyers calling for a boycott against Motorola. Demands include: End production and sales of fuses and other weapons components to Israel; End sales of communication devices to Israel (The "Mountain Rose Communication System" that Motorola designed for the Israeli military enables military invasions and a regime of over 600 checkpoints that prevent Palestinians from getting to school, work and hospitals across Palestinian); End sales of all products that support Israel's separation barrier and settlements, including the "Wide Area Surveillance Sytem" manufactured by Motorola-Israel.
