Attack on Israeli-Owned Business in New Hampshire Denounced by Both Parties


(NH Journal) Michael Graham - If the antisemitic activists of Palestine Action US were hoping to rally support with their attack on Elbit Systems of America, an Israeli-based defense contractor with 650 employees in Merrimack, it appears they miscalculated. The group on Monday spray painted the Elbit facility with red paint, smashed windows, locked main lobby doors with a bicycle anti-theft device, and lit flares on the roof. Three protesters face charges including criminal trespass, riot, and sabotage. In New Hampshire, outrage is directed at the pro-Palestinian protesters and their attack on an important local employer. "The antisemitism, hate, and significant damage protesters brought to Elbit America's campus this morning has no place in our state and will not be tolerated," said Gov. Chris Sununu. State Rep. Rosemarie Rung (D-Merrimack) said, "It's not just an attack on an outstanding corporate citizen, but an attack on my neighbors, friends, and constituents."
