Tell @scotiabank to divest from @ElbitSystemsLtd In 2022, @scotiabank put $500M into Israeli arms company Elbit, which is 5% of the company. This made them the largest foreign investor in a company that profits off Palestinian death. #ShutElbitDown https://t.co/tluiUWOStJ

Activists across Canada join in the demand that Scotiabank divest immediately from Israeli arms company Elbit Systems. Scotiabank is the largest foreign investor in Elbit, to the tune of $500 million. Shame on Scotiabank!

Vancouver picket/flash action: Freedom for Walid Daqqah and Scotiabank #ShutElbitDown

Great actions on June 3 in Vancouver. Activists from local solidarity groups gathered at CBC to call for freedom for Walid Daqqah and all Palestinian prisoners. Then, they held a march and flash action at Scotiabank headquarters, to help launch the national campaign to demand that Scotiabank divest from the Israeli arms maker Elbit Systems.
