THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR GENOCIDE RELIES ON HOUSTON
In May 2024, the Palestinian Youth Movement launched the international #MaskOffMaersk campaign, targeting the logistics company that transports nearly all military cargo for Israel.
The Houston Arms Embargo, led by the PYM and Palestine Solidarity TX, emerged as a local expression of this effort, building pressure against Maersk while reckoning with Houston's role as a leading facilitator of the genocide in Gaza.

Between 2020 and 2025, the Port of Houston facilitated more than 85% of known F-35 shipments for Israel, with fighter jet wings continuing to pass through our port every month.
These F-35 components arrive in Houston on Maersk container ships from around the world before being transported to Lockheed Martin’s facility in Fort Worth—the only site where specialized F-35I Adir jets for Israel are assembled. The jets are then flown directly to the Nevatim Airbase where they are used to bomb Gaza and the region.
RESEARCH
Research published in 2025 by the Palestinian Youth Movement and Progressive International exposed Maersk’s central role in the F-35 supply chain arming Israel and identified the Port of Houston as a key transportation hub.
