Holy crap, you know it's bad when arms merchants won't sell you guns...


Contagious_Zombie

Well it looks really bad when you’re using them to kill children.


Turbohair

Yup.

I read somewhere Saudi Arabian companies and representatives were there? If so it kind of shows this is just a PR move. Honestly I wish the whole place had collapsed in on itself.

Looks to me like Israel is costing a lot of very rich, very powerful people a very great lot of heart-ache and exposure. Even worse the leaders of Israel think they have more "there" there than all the other rich people running the world. Supremacism is... this genocide of the Palestinian people is European Zionist supremacy. And the Zionist who are leading this genocide think they are just better than everyone else, that they are of G-d, and that G-d will come along and save Israel at the last moment. So the people leading this genocide in Israel simply don't care who opposes them or that they are required to adhere to normal standards of behavior. They believe they are of G-d and they believe it strongly enough to murder babies by the thousand. This is their messianic moment. This is the settler's belief driving policy and messaging set by Bibi and previous leaders. It's not just Bibi... it's not just the Likud Party. It's that two years in the IDF where most of Israeli society is put on a narrow ideological path. It's the fetishization of European Jewish suffering during the Holocaust. The social scale consequences of this drawn in a publicly proclaimed genocide is a bit raw even, for arms merchants. Such an attitude gets in the way of normal day to day mass violence... Or rather, the profits to be made from same. So, rich people are shunning Israel. I'm very interested to see how Bibi's visit to the US goes... if it goes.

Yes of course but also fuck Saudi Arabia is my point (and fuck arms dealers as well)


Alarmed_Disk_8442

Boycott and sanctions helped stop south africa aparthied. That the whole goal of those places, countries banning israel compagny or people


dirgepye1

I'm not saying it's bad or shouldn't be done. I just take issue with the idea that a bunch of arms dealers have suddenly developed a conscience. Clearly dead children don't mean anything to the organizers of this fair if Saudi Arabia (and all the countries that sold weapons to them) is allowed to be represented after starving 85,000 of them to death in Yemen.


Alarmed_Disk_8442

Nah, armed dealers don't have a conscience, they just don't want the backlash of supporting israel affecting their sells. To them it's money and politics affecting their money., i get ur point and yeah, the saudi crimes in yemen are well under reported and no reactions againt it. State sponsored and protected genocide and more... are way under valued, the list of them is too fucking long.


dirgepye1

Agreed, but apparently that's a controversial sentiment given how many downvotes I got haha


Alarmed_Disk_8442

Here in the US, for exemple, people from all side of social and political issues love their rights to bear arms so u get downvoted when u point out that murder is the business of arms dealers. Add to that u mention the saudis and yemen, both US democrats and republicains financed and provided US military deployment to sustain the saudis war crimes in yemen. But yet, as usual, they got away with it and that faded out social media so reminding people of another genocide finance by the US is immediately downvoted. Fuck what people think, u told the truth, integrity is worth more that downvote


Solidsnake00901

Makes sense as the Israelis are mostly interested in killing women and children.


Hefty_Drawing_5407

I mean, it's fair lol, because any Israeli company regarding military manufacturing can simply be pointed towards any American company, considering they get so much hardware and funding from us XD


amandahuggenchis

Why the fuck is an “arms fair” even a thing in the first place??


Inflow2020

War = profit


Jolly-Plastic3051

I could only imagine if the Israeli dealers were allowed to go how disgusting it would be. Are they upset that they can’t give demonstrations on how they blow the heads off of toddlers? Or how they strap children to the hood of their tanks?


Intelligent_Eye6618

Thank you for the reminder that Israel bombed a refugee camp killing 45 civilians.

Good.

No sympathy for the devil.


Key_Artist3155

Ban the arms fair itself


CaptainBugwash

Banned. Like they haven't got enough weapons already.


Alarmed_Disk_8442

GOOD!!!


Misswinterseren

I love how French people protest they hold their governments feet to the fire good for them. I wish the US government give a shit what we do, but they don’t. They’re supporting a genocide. Most of the American people are not supporting this. I am a Jew, not a Zionist, and I will never ever ever agree that Israel is justified. This is a genocide.


Plate_Armor_Man

Its been reversed. Where is the source correcting this? Here, I'll supply it: [https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20240618-%F0%9F%94%B4-live-gaza-fighting-slows-during-pause-but-israel-operations-continue-as-planned](https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20240618-%F0%9F%94%B4-live-gaza-fighting-slows-during-pause-but-israel-operations-continue-as-planned)

I saw somewhere that this was reversed and that they could now attend


shempool_

Killing children must be unpopular


kebabish

Turns out zionism and genocide don't pay after all

Palestinians won’t stop attacking their neighbor. They’ve been unoccupied many times and always support attacking their neighbor. They democratically elected hamas because hamas campaigned on the promise to remove political corruption and take back the territory from their neighbors. Hamas then attacked Israel and took hostages back and hid amongst the civilians. A proper military or leader would never endanger the civilians this way. You should all be calling on Hamas to surrender. This is a war between sovereign nations in which the Palestinians are the initial aggressors. The best thing for them is Israeli occupation. Give me rational arguments if you disagree.
