Drop the Maryland Israel Development Center

Watch this video of activists testifying to Montgomery County Council to end funding for the MIDC.

If you are a resident of Montgomery County, send an email to our County Council to end the MIDC funding


The Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC) serves as the broker to bring Israeli companies into Maryland. A number of these companies are weapons manufacturers and, in two instances, are actually the Israel military itself. The State of Maryland as well as counties - most specifically Montgomery - provide the MIDC with grants and special privileges (e.g., ribbon-cutting ceremonies, additional grants, etc.). Once in our State, these “merchants of death” use their offices as a launch pad for Pentagon contracts and merging with other war profiteers.

Join our campaign to end telling elected officials to end funding to the MIDC.
