New York, August 4 (RHC)-- Dozens of Jewish activists and allies staged a mock press conference and protest this past week at the White Plains headquarters of Atlas Air to call out the company’s role in fueling the war on Gaza. 

Activists posed as Atlas executives and handed out flyers designed to look like marketing materials but that read “Atlas Air: we fly for genocide.” 

Jake Levin from Jews for Racial and Economic Justice told reporters:  “The U.S. government sends so much support to the Israeli military that it contracts with private companies to send these — it doesn’t have enough planes to send the amount of bombs that they are trying to send and planes and tanks that they are trying to send to Israel.  It’s not right.  It’s disgusting, is what it is.”

Atlas Air is the world’s third largest cargo company, has hundreds of millions of dollars in federal contracts and received $18 million in New York state tax breaks and subsidies.
