I guess their competitors, Siemens and Alston, didn't apply for Israel contracts, did they? I suggest focusing on their shareholders, specially banks (BBK, 10%). https://brusselsmorning.com/bruges-alstom-appeals-after-losing-nmbs-e3-4b-train-order/69985/

Well... Siemens and Alstom appear to be also on the BDS list. So, what's the alternative for Belgium trains??

The Netherlands railways have more than 200 CAF-trains, and the Amsterdam metros are CAF-trains too 👎👎🤬

CAF is operating and extending the so-called Jerusalem Light Rail’s “Red Line” and is building the new “Green Line.” Both lines connect illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory with West Jerusalem.

NMBS/SNCB has an ethical responsibility and a legal obligation to exclude from contracts companies and institutions that are implicated in recognising, aiding or assisting this illegal system of oppression.

In September 2024, Belgium was in the global majority that voted at the UN General Assembly to adopt the ICJ ruling regarding Israel’s illegal occupation. The ruling affirms Belgium’s legal obligation to cease any direct or indirect complicity in maintaining Israel’s illegal occupation & apartheid.

As Israel escalates its genocide against 2.3M Palestinians in Gaza, shattering the recent already fragile ceasefire, CAF must be held accountable for its persistent complicity in Israel’s war crimes.

So Belgium now pending a BDS status? If they choose CAF for that contract then it's off my visit list.
