Protesters across the nation have been exhibiting extreme anti-semitism in their recent actions since Hamas attacked and murdered Israelis peacefully going about life on the morning of October 7.
It seems that on Monday, police were called to Elbit Systems of America on the Daniel Webster Highway in New Hampshire for a report of protesters blocking the company’s entrance and accessing the roof of the building. The company, police said, is “an Israeli-based international technology company” with a focus on “defense and homeless security.” Police described the protesters as “voicing their support for Palestine.”
The protesters, two women and a teenager from out of state were present at the scene where smoke bombs, vandalizing, attempted burglary and obvious protesting had taken place.
Patch reports:
Police found a bike lock attached to the two front doors of the building — which prevented employees from exiting the building. The officers also saw smoke coming from the roof of the building. Later, police determined the smoke came from an incendiary device after the arrest of Walsh, an affidavit said. Officers found a ladder outside leading up to the roof and believed at least three people were on the roof.
Police set up a perimeter of the facility and viewed “extensive damage” to the front of the building — including smashed windows and spray paint featuring “anti-Israel words,” “free Gaza,” and criticism of the company, including calling them “genocide profiteers” and “Elbit kills” as well as swear words.
On the roof, a team of officers found three women, Ross, Shergalis, and Walsh, and after viewing video footage online, confirmed their involvement, an affidavit said. One officer accused Ross of having red spray pain on her sneakers and pants. The affidavit said Walsh’s shoes also had red spray paint on them.
When requested, the protesters moved from the entrance to allow first responders access to the facility.
The three protesters present were arrested at the scene on Monday, and were arraigned on felony charges on Tuesday.

Bridget Irene Shergalis, 27, of Whetstone Mills in Dayville, Connecticut, Calla Mairead Walsh, 19, of Decatur Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Sophie Marika Ross, 22, of North Plain Road in Housatonic, MA, were all arraigned in Hillsborough County Superior Court South on riot, sabotage-destroy real property, burglary-attempt, and criminal mischief-conspiracy charges, all felonies, and a misdemeanor criminal trespass count each.
After being arraigned, Shergalis was issued $5,000 cash bail, while Ross and Walsh were issued $20,000 cash bail. They are back in superior court on Jan. 23, 2024, for dispositional conference hearings. The two women were issued higher bail due to being arrested, along with seven others, a few weeks ago in Cambridge, MA, outside of the Elbit Systems facility in that city. Hundreds of people attended that protest, which later turned violent.
Shergalis, according to reports online, has been featured in several films, including “Bad Teacher,” “All About Steve,” and “Séance.”
Walsh, according to posts online, was involved in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions Boston Mapping project. According to the Anti-Defemation League, the mapping project is an interactive map pinpointing Jewish communal and other community organizations in the Bay State. She was also an admitted communist who was once involved in the Students for Markey campaign effort, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu’s campaign, and the presidential campaigns of U.S. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
The previous protest in Cambridge, targeting the same business and Jews, culminated in the arrest of 9 individuals, though many more participated.
NBC reported that about 200 people protested that day which started around 10 am, and police told NBC that at 11:15 am some people broke through metal barricades and started vandalizing the business and some threw smoke pellets and eggs at the officers and the building.
When police were trying to arrest some people, the group “became hostile and assaulted the officers,” authorities stated to NBC. One of the officers, police said, was knocked to the ground and another was hit in the chest with a smoke pellet. Pepper spray was then used after some protesters started to b ecome more “combative” according to authorities.
Elbit Systems of America, with partent company in Haifa, Israel, describes itself as “an international high technology company engaged in a wide renge of defense, homeland security and commercial programs,” including commercial aviation, medical instruments, and more.
Earlier this month, protesters chained themselves to the door of Elbit in protest of the company’s involvement in Israel’s security.
Last week a group calling for cease fire, a pro-Hamas stance, demonstrated outside the home of Sen. Elizabeth Warren in Cambridge. No one was arrested during that protest.
