Organizing a decentralized action
Elbit/OIP operate in Belgium, and their partners are within reach. Together, they continue to fuel the Israeli death machine. We call on everyone to multiply actions everywhere in Belgium to isolate Elbit-/OIP and make their partnerships costly and unsustainable.
A first wave of actions started early March. This is just the start.
Whether you are a collective, a group of friends, an organization or simply a few people, you can act. And we can support you.
Whether you are a collective, a group of friends, an organization or simply a few people, you can act. And we can support you.
Are you ready? Resources from the experiences of struggles on the ground are available to support you.

Share an action
We can disseminate every action. Send us your press release, images, or videos. We can (co) publish your content on our Instagram account and website. For more important actions, we can also plan press work.
If you have taken an action and would like us to share it, while taking a few precautions to ensure the security of our communications. Let's make sure that everyone's safety is a priority, so that we can continue to fight together while protecting our actions and our people:
To send us the information, you can use one of these methods:
ProtonMail: stop-arming-israel-belgium [at] proton.me (if you have a ProtonMail address). ProtonMail guarantees end to end encryption to protect your communications. (recommended) You can also use our public PGP key, to encrypt your messages and ensure only the right people can read your messages. You can use the contact form which will encrypt your message (but would make us unable to answer to you in a secure way)

- Remove your metadata: Before sharing photos or documents, remove the metadata to prevent it from containing sensitive information that could identify you. Use tools like ExifTool or Mat2.
- Hide your IP address, use the Tor network and/or at least a VPN.
- Protect people's identities by blurring faces in sensitive images and videos and reducing the number of pixels (to remove unnecessary details).
- Encrypt your messages: see above.

Leafleting campaign
On top of disrupting the arms industry linked to the genocide, Stop Arming Israel Belgium also wants to raise awareness among relevant workers. People who work for companies that collaborate with Israel's arms industry can play a key role, and have a bigger impact on these partnerships. For weapons to be produced and for partnerships to continue, complicit companies need workers. Leafleting campaigns can provide information and raise awareness, and create connections to disrupt the machinery from within, as is happening in France.
We prepared posters and stickers to share in your networks, and flyers for outreach to workers of these companies.
