Tien bedrijven die Israël helpen bij de massamoord op de Palestijnen

Joe
Catron publiceerde het hieronder opgenomen artikel op MintPress News, ik nam het over van Anti-Media. In zijn artikel schrijft Catron
over de bedrijven die Israël helpen bij haar fascistische
apartheidsbeleid en dan met name bij het geweld de grootschalige terreur tegen de Palestijnse
bevolking in de Gazastrook en op de West Bank, waar Israël vooral in de Gazastrook de ene massamoord na de andere begaat……..

Mij viel vooral Monsanto* op, dat Israël het kankerverwekkende glyfosaat levert waarmee de fascistisch Israëlische apartheidsstaat de Palestijnse akkers van de Gazastrook besproeit in de buurt van de grens met Israël, ook al niets meer of minder dan smerige terreur……. Anders gezegd: Israël besproeit de akkers in feite met een chemisch wapen en dat op het grondgebied van de Palestijnen, zodat de voedselvoorziening van de Palestijnen in hun openluchtgevangenis Gazastrook afhankelijk blijft van o.a. Israëlische import…… Dezelfde akkers worden bij tijd en wijle door Israël gebulldozerd met machines van Caterpillar…….

Uiteraard
worden deze bedrijven ook gefinancierd door banken, jammer dat Catron daarvan niet de namen heeft genoemd. Wel noemt hij de HSBC bank die
grote wapenfabrieken financiert, waaronder die in Israël…….. Deze wapenfabrieken in Israël proberen hun nieuwste wapens in de praktijk uit op Palestijnen……… 

Ook jammer dat Catron Facebook niet noemde, deze organisatie weert Palestijnen al heel lang van haar platform, waar zionisten hun smerige gal wel mogen spuien…..

(MPN) — As
Israeli soldiers gun down unarmed Palestinian demonstrators in the
Great March of Return, their lethal operations depend on an array of
contractors and suppliers, many of them companies based outside
Israel.

The
Israeli military relies on a network of international companies,
supplying everything from sniper rifles to tear gas, to carry out its
massacres of protesters in Gaza,” Tom Anderson, a researcher
for 
Corporate
Occupation
,
told 
MintPress
News
.
“These companies are knowingly supporting war crimes, and are
complicit in state-orchestrated murder.”

Since
the mobilization began on March 30, Israeli forces have killed 205
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the United Nations’ Office for the
Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory 
reported on
October 4.

There
have been 21,288 injured, including 5,345 from live ammunition,
resulting in 11,180 hospitalizations. Thirty-eight of the dead and
4,250 of the wounded were children.

A
press release accompanying a September 25 report by the World
Bank 
warned,
“The economy in Gaza is collapsing,” adding that “the
decade-long blockade is the core issue.”

Corporate
Occupation and the 
American
Friends Service Committee
,
the 
Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement
,
and 
Who
Profits
 maintain
comprehensive lists of corporations enabling Israel’s crimes
against Palestinians.

Here
are a few of them:

Caterpillar,
Inc.

Caterpillar
is 
known internationally
for Israel’s use of its bulldozers to demolish Palestinian homes in
the occupied West Bank and inside Israel itself, as well as for its
role in the killing of Rachel Corrie, an International Solidarity
Movement activist from the United States, who was crushed to death by
one of the company’s Israel-operated machines in the southern Gaza
Strip on March 16, 2003. In Gaza, Caterpillar is notorious for
Israel’s 
deployment of
its equipment to reinforce a military barrier around the Strip, as
well as to level Palestinian farmland inside it.
These 
leveling operations
both destroy Palestinian agriculture, keeping Gaza a captive market
for Israeli producers, and maintain a clear line of fire for Israeli
soldiers to shoot Palestinians.

Combined
Systems, Inc.

Combined
Systems — a Jamestown, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer owned by
Point Lookout Capital and the Carlyle Group — supplies light
weaponry and security equipment, such as tear gas and flash grenades,
to repressive governments worldwide. In May, Corporate Occupation
researchers 
spotted an
Israeli vehicle, with police markings but obviously intended for
military use, equipped with the company’s 
‘Venom’ tear
gas launcher next to the Gaza barrier.

Ford
Motor Company

While
other manufacturers, like 
General
Motors
,
also provide vehicles used by the Israeli army to deploy its soldiers
along the Gaza barrier, Ford’s are distinctive for their creative
use. In 2003, Israeli vehicle manufacturer Hatehof
began 
retrofitting Ford
F550 trucks as armored personnel carriers. By 2016, Israel had moved
on to F350s, 
modified by
Israeli military electronics company Elbit Systems as autonomous
unmanned vehicles capable of remotely controlled fire.

Monsanto*

Along
with herbicides from the Dow Chemical Company and ADAMA Agricultural
Solutions, an Israeli unit of China’s state-owned National Chemical
Corporation (ChemChina), Israel 
sprays Bayer
subsidiary Monsanto’s notorious Glyphosate (marketed as Roundup), a
known human carcinogen, on Palestinian fields across its military
barrier with Gaza several times annually. As does its deployment of
Caterpillar bulldozers to level the same fields, the aerial
application, conducted by two civilian Israeli companies under
contract to the army, serves both Israeli economic and military
interests — preventing Palestinian self-sufficiency in agriculture,
while allowing its forces to easily detect and fire upon Palestinian
farmers and other civilians using their own land.

G4S
plc

Formerly
one of Israel’s biggest occupation contractors, G4S 
sold its
major Israeli subsidiary, G4S Israel, in 2016, but 
kept a
stake in the construction and operation of Policity, Israel’s
privatized national police academy. Israel claims that its police
enjoy civilian status, but routinely deploys them in military
operations against Palestinians in both the West Bank and the Gaza
Strip, including their use of both Combined System’s ‘Venon’
tear-gas launcher and weaponized 
drones to
repress the Great March of Return.

Hewlett
Packard

Now
three companies with interlocking operations — HP Inc., Hewlett
Packard Enterprise (HPE), and DXC Technology — HP 
equips the
Israeli military with computers and has undertaken contracts to
“virtualize” IDF operations, starting in 2007 with a pilot
program for the Israeli navy, which enforces the blockade of Gaza.

HSBC
Bank plc

HSBC provides extensive
financing to some of the most notorious military manufacturers in the
world, several of them Israeli.

HSBC
holds over £800m worth of shares in, and is involved in syndicated
loans worth over £19b to, companies that sell weapons and military
equipment to the Israeli government,” Huda Ammori, campaigns
officer for the 
Palestine
Solidarity Campaign
,
told 
MintPress.
“These investments include Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest
private security firm, which markets its weapons as ‘field-tested,’
due to them being tested on Palestinian civilians in Gaza.”

A
leading drone manufacturer, Elbit has played a key role in aerial
attacks on the Great March of Return.

Motorola
Solutions Inc.

Motorola provides the
encrypted smartphones the Israeli military uses to deploy soldiers,
as well as radio and communications services for the Israeli police.

Remington

Among
casualties of the Great March of Return, Amnesty
International 
reports,
some “wounds bear the hallmarks of U.S.-manufactured M24 Remington
sniper rifles shooting 7.62mm hunting ammunition, which expand and
mushroom inside the body,” along with others indicative of Israel
Weapon Industries’ Tavor rifles. “In the United States this is
sold as a hunting rifle to kill deer,” Brian Castner, a weapons
specialist for the human-rights organization, 
said in
April.

Dipping
Company, LLC

The
White Plains, New York-based food manufacturer, co-owned by PepsiCo
and Israeli foodmaker Strauss, has 
donated food
packages to the Israeli Army’s Golani Brigade, notorious for its
human-rights abuses in both Gaza and the West Bank.

We
Must Channel Our Rage”

As
the Great March of Return, now in its 29th week, 
continues,
participants and supporters say targeting firms complicit in its
repression is one of the most effective means of solidarity.

We
must channel our rage at Israel’s atrocities into effective actions
to hold Israel accountable,” the BDS National Committee 
said in
a statement on April 12. “Together, we can escalate Boycott,
Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns.”

Israel
is meeting the Palestinian protesters with live fire, massacring over
190 Palestinians to date,” Ammori told 
MintPress.
“Israel’s racist discrimination and brutal violence is evident,
and the campaign to end complicity is vital.”

* Monsanto, tegenwoordig van Bayer, het bedrijf dat tijdens WOII in nazi-Duitsland verantwoordelijk was voor medische proeven op concentratiekampgevangenen en daarmee heeft meegewerkt aan de massamoord op o.a. Joden………. ‘Echt een topbedrijf’, dat mede hoofdverantwoordelijk is voor de enorme insectensterfte die in de laatste decennia plaatsvond (twee derde van de insecten is uitgestorven door gebruik van insecticiden en ander landbouwgif) In het bijzonder zijn de bestuivers als bijen en hommels getroffen, zonder wie de mensheid een enorme massasterfte staat te wachten……. ‘Alweer een prestatie van formaat….’

Boycotten die bedrijven!!
