(10) PRO-PALESTINE ACTIVISTS SAY THEY WILL TARGET DEFENSE COMPANIES: Far left organizers at a protest blockading the I-5 highway in Seattle, WA, said pro-Palestine activist groups will “escalate” and support other groups that target “and take direct action to disrupt material support” for the “ongoing genocide of Palestine.” Why It Matters: Some pro-Palestine protests have already targeted defense industry manufacturers. Direct action would likely resemble the “Stop Cop City” movement, which used protests, sabotage, and vandalism targeting both construction contractors at the “Cop City” site and insurance companies and banks in other states. – R.C.
