The Saudi-US-Raytheon war against Yemen continues

This summer Congress passed a bill to ban weapons sales to Saudi Arabia by Raytheon and other war companies.

The President vetoed that bill continuing his love affair with the Saudis and with Raytheon and other war profiteers.

So it’s up to us to enforce that ban. We owe it to the people of Yemen who have to live under Raytheon bombs

Last month Congress voted to restrict weapons sales to the monstrous regime in Saudi Arabia. President Trump immediately vetoed that congressional legislation. So now it’s up to us to enforce that ban on Raytheon and the other arms dealers by insisting that Raytheon CEO Thomas Kennedy stop making money off his company’s growing collaboration with the Saudis.

Through its arms sales and integration with the Saudi regime, Raytheon continues its major role in the destruction of Yemen. Paveway bombs, an intimate partnership with the Saudi Military, hundreds of personnel based in Saudi Arabia, establishing Raytheon Saudi Arabia in Riyadh – the Raytheon-Saudi collaboration is extensive. It sees working with the vicious regimes of the Middle East as an incredible economic opportunity.

While Raytheon sponsors the Walk for Hunger in Boston,

Its bombs bring starvation and death to Yemen.

Sign up now for the “Yemen Anti-Famine Team” at the Walk for Hunger.

Protest Raytheon’s hypocrisy. Demand that Raytheon cease all weapons sales to the Saudi war criminals. Insist that the Walk for Hunger condemns Raytheon’s massive assistance to Saudi Arabia’s war in Yemen.

is a horrifying slice of a global problem. Wars, economic disaster, and environmental devastation are displacing people all around the world. The US and
other states respond with violence, but we must build solidarity.
