US: Activists protest against Capital One over loan to Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit Systems

Activists in Cambridge, Massachusetts, have been protesting outside Capital One Cafes every weekend for the past three weeks. These demonstrations target Capital One because it's part of a banking consortium that loaned $545 million to Elbit Systems, Israel's largest defense contractor. The cafes, which blend cafe spaces with banking services, are a specific target to attract young consumers. Boycott, Divestment Sanctions Boston (BDS Boston), a local pro-Palestine group, leads the picketing, continuing their long-standing campaign against Elbit Systems.
