US warehouse sponsors genocide

Every week 1,000 tons of military aid for Israel passes through a New Jersey warehouse. That’s according to a report by Progressive International and the Palestinian Youth Movement.

They say that the facility processes vast amounts of cargo before they are shipped to the genocidal settler state. As the report notes:

The vast majority of all U.S. military sea cargo sold to the Israeli Ministry of Defense (IMOD) passes through a single warehouse in Jersey City, NJ. Located at 1A Colony Road and owned by Interglobal Forwarding Services (IFS), this facility handles over 1,000 tons of IDF-bound military cargo every week.

The sheer volume of consignments reaching the occupying Israeli government is in itself startling, as the report alludes:

According to public bill of lading data, everything that enters and exits this warehouse is bound for the Israeli Military. IFS has handled at least 878 tons of sea cargo per week in 2025, as well as handling an estimated 263-525 tons per week of air cargo.

Describing the purpose it serves, the report likens the facility to “an overseas logistics department” supporting the Israeli Ministry of Defense, and coordinating with the U.S. military to transport substantial ammunition.

But that’s not all.

Deadly cargo passes through Tangiers

Using public record research, the report identifies clear shipping patterns and even uncovers the nature of the consignments. It states that:

On weekly Maersk vessels, heavy cargo, like steel armored plates, boots, helmets, Merkava tank parts, and armored and unarmored cars, travel from the IFS warehouse to Port Newark–Elizabeth Marine Terminal.

Once there, the equipment is loaded onto a Maersk vessel, transported to Tangier, Morocco, then transferred to another Maersk vessel. The final pitstop is the Israeli Port of Haifa.

The report carefully notes that the facility does not “handle” all military air cargo destined for Israel. Still, the evidence unequivocally shows that “it handles a significant share”.

A former employee at the facility said:

The warehouse handled “5–10 pallets of air cargo a day” in 2015 for IMOD. Assuming the pallets are loaded to max capacity, this comes out to 263 to 525 tons per week.

Destructive duo

The State Department reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Israel in July — and presents this as a badge of honour.

Commenting on the special relationship between the two, the report reminds readers that

Since its founding in 1948, the United States has provided Israel with over $130 billion in bilateral assistance focused on addressing new and complex security threats, bridging Israel’s capability gaps through security assistance and cooperation, increasing interoperability through joint exercises, and helping Israel maintain its Qualitative Military Edge (QME).

Since Israel’s genocide in Gaza began in 20203, the US had given Israel over $21bn in war aid. And Israel has no intention of letting go of Uncle Sam’s hand. A further 20-year deal for military support is currently under negotiation.

At the time, the Times of Israel said:

Israel proposed a 20-year deal that would end on the country’s centennial in 2048.

US support for Israel is no secret. Yet now we can begin to understand the scale of aid being placed in the hands of a pariah state hellbent on the destruction of a people. If one day the architects of the slaughter are held accountable, it must include those who enabled mountains of arms to shipped into Israel.
