Activists have chained themselves to the CAF entrance in Beasain to denounce him as an "accomplice to the Israeli occupation"
The Global Movement for Gaza platform has denounced that the involvement of CAF goes beyond the manufacture of trains and is "part of the same colonial project." "CAF not only builds on occupation: it makes it possible every day. Every contract in Israel is a blood-stained contract," they say.
Several people on the Global Movement for Gaza platform chained themselves this Sunday to the main entrance of the CAF headquarters in Beasain(Gipuzkoa) on International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, demanding that CAF suspend "all its contracts with Israel and its companies complicit in the occupation".
In a statement, they have reported that "CAF is directly complicit in the structure of genocide andapartheidin Israel "and have therefore called for the termination of" all contracts with Israel and the companies complicit in the occupation ".
"The UN has officially included CAF in the list of companies that collaborate with Zionism in the Palestinian occupation, along with other companies that support and benefit from the Israeli colonial system ," this platform has denounced.
It has also stated that the Israeli railway project "is not a neutral means of transport, but an instrument of annexation and apartheid "and has denounced that it isolates the Palestinian neighbourhoods and divides East Jerusalem, breaking the continuity of the territory.
According to members of the Global Movement for Gaza, "CAF cooperates with the Zionist State da in the Tel Aviv Metro". In this regard, they stress that "it is built on Palestinian soil as part of the same ethnic cleansing and colonial project".
CAF's "implication" goes "beyond" the very manufacture of trains and is "part of the same colonial project." "CAF not only builds on occupation: it makes it possible every day. Every contract in Israel is a blood-stained contract," they say.
For all these reasons, they claim that "breaking all ties"with Israel is" the most legitimate and effective instrument . "Political, economic, academic, cultural and sporting boycott. All commercial, institutional and diplomatic relations must be broken in order to break with the genocidal organization."
