Arms
industry business and weapons for military regimes to suppress
population resistance

After the
short "ceasefire" between Washington and Tehran in previous
months, Tel Aviv lost some of its value for the US from all the
previous years. Seeing this gap, Berlin is trying to take advantage
and open doors to the regimes of this region (mainly S. Arabia and
Israel) which are not happy with the temporary "ceasefire"
between the US and Iran.
These two
regimes have a common characteristic: They are transformed
progressively into the key buyers of the German weapon systems.
Berlin is aligned with the official Western-Israeli position of the
"right for self-defence", not only because Germany tries to
get rid of the WWII heritage, but also because it wants to "refresh"
its arms industry.
Germany does
not care to whom is selling weapons, whether these weapons will be
used against population inside countries, like in the case of Bahrain
or S. Arabia and knows very well that these countries do have enough
money to buy weapons. It's worth to remember that Germany sold 6
nuclear submarines to Israel, tanks and many more.
Israel can
play a critical role in this case by blocking Germany to sell weapons
in other countries and the most characteristic example until now was
S. Arabia. During the latest months we see the reverse of this
situation as S. Arabia ordered 200 tanks from Germany with special
equipment to be used in urban centers against its population in case
of serious riots. This has been done with the approval of Israel and
this is an economic parameter of the situation in the Middle East for
Angela Merkel.
But Israel
is also doing business with the situation in Gaza. Those who have
visited exhibitions of defence systems in the US and Europe, should
have noticed that the weapon systems used in conflicts between
countries have been replaced by other systems for controlling
population in urban areas. Israelis are using videos from previous
attacks in Gaza to demonstrate, for example, drones or other military
equipment which has been used against Palestinians.
So, this is
another, more "crude", reason behind the ongoing crime in
Gaza. War is business, but it seems that Palestinians are used also
for the promotion of cruel military regimes ready to use the most
sophisticated suppression methods to drown any attempt for resistance
by the people inside countries.
