    The fact this meme implies anything resembling an equal conflict is a pretty bad framing, despite a decent overall sentiment.

      Yeah, make the Gaza monkey 50% younger, change the knife into a rock, and put the Israel one on a death star space station. That’s closer to reality.

        Talking of rocks, I remember low level scraps between youths and border guards in previous years where the Palestinian boys used slings with rocks like David and Goliath. That weapon has a very long history in the region.

        Google the history of the Nakba.

        And don’t act like “Lil bean Israel was just minding it’s own business when all the savage Arabs attacked and they just had to steal more land”. It’s ahistorical at best and fucking racist at worst.

        #10: Greed is eternal.

        #45: Expand or die.

        I think they’ve all taken this to heart, like good Ferengi.

    This is what President Eisenhower was warning us about when he talked about the “military-industrial complex.” A series of forever wars that existed for no other reason than to benefit corporations and billionaires.

        Boeing and Raytheon are massive weapon companies that make drones, missiles, targeting systems etc

            Raytheon stocks more than doubled in value this year.

            You could say business is booming

        Both are in the arms business. They make money from war.

          Yup and if they didn’t make money, Putin’s tanks would have just ravaged Ukraine instead of being blown up all over the place by Javelins.

        Boeing and Raytheon are military contractors, and the US has characteristically kept itself in or around global conflict in order to continue handing out multi-billion dollar contracts to these companies (and more like them.) Weapons/Platform manufacturing and sales is a large portion of our economic output.
