Other reasons for the ongoing crime in Gaza

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systems in the US and Europe, should have noticed that the weapon systems used in conflicts between countries have been replaced by other systems for controlling population in urban areas.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.
