Hope it was worth probably never being granted a visa to another western nation again for this damp squib of a gesture.
> Alan Wright, Elbit UK’s vice president of sales and marketing, told the court that the company’s main customers were in the UK and they shipped products to its parent company in Israel for support and repairs. He said: “[Elbit UK] does not provide products to the IDF.”
These “protestors” served in the IDF but didn’t even know this? honestly they just sound like of stupid. Elbit UK provides important systems for the UK armed forces, so they’re just fucking us over?
> The philosophy teacher, who lives in Germany, said: “I hoped that innocent people [in Palestine] would be saved from being murdered.”
> “This would have a direct impact on the supply chain, on the way that these killer machines are being supplied to butcher people in Gaza and elsewhere,” he said.
This literally wouldn’t change anything, and how do they not understand that its on Hamas to surrender? They served in the IDF and seemingly they don’t even care about ending the war to get the hostages back. It’s just stupid performative protesting, and I would expect Israelis let alone people who served in the IDF to actually understand war and whats at stake.
EDIT: Reading Elbit UK’s website:
> Elbit Systems UK is an innovative Defence Technology company employing over 680 people across sixteen sites in the UK. Manufacturing and integrating advanced technology for the UK Armed Forces and our allies, our extensive portfolio provides cutting-edge capabilities for the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force, protecting the UK at home and abroad.
These people are quite literally a fifth column just trying to destroy our defence industry. ???
I really struggle to understand how the logic of “drones kill innocents” works.
Why would a tool which allows more precise surveillance and attack of military targets cause more civilian casualties?
Well done to them. Our drones should be used to callously murder our people’s enemies, not those of Israel.
For fuck sake we NEED these drones to supply Ukraine with the tools to defeat Russia.
Drones are some of the most precise weapons with the lowest civilian casualties out of any long range weapons class.
They also play a non combative role in surveillance which also helps reduce civilian casualties.
Impressive how many verbal gymnastics the *Times* is doing here to make “Jews participate in direct action against infrastructure of a genocidal army” sound like a bad thing – and how many people in this thread are uncritically lapping it up anyway.
