  1. Ubiquitous killing machines.

    #Serbia and #Israel’s Elbit Systems are building a joint drone factory near Belgrade which will produce short-range armed #UAVs and long-range drones capable of operating at 6km altitude, with #Elbit holding majority 51% stake.

    Israel, whose entire national identity is built on the imperative of “never again,” is now building a drone factory with the state the ICJ found violated the Genocide Convention by failing to prevent the Srebrenica genocide.

    The UN Special Rapporteur named Elbit among companies profiting from the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Elbit’s 2025 revenue: $8 billion. In fact, the occupation and the genocide aren’t interrupting Israeli arms exports, they’re driving them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ before this Israel armed #apartheid South Africa, the #Rwandan Hutu government during the 1994 genocide (records still sealed by court order), and #Guatemalan forces during their genocide.

    […] “The military-industrial complex has become the economic backbone of the State. Between 2020 and 2024, Israel was the eighth largest arms exporter worldwide. The two most prominent Israeli weapons companies – Elbit Systems, established as a public-private partnership and later privatized, and state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) – are among the top 50 arms manufacturers globally. Since 2023, Elbit has cooperated closely on Israeli military operations, embedding key staff in the Ministry of Defense, and was awarded the 2024 Israeli Defense Prize. Elbit and IAI provide a critical domestic supply of weaponry, and reinforce Israel’s military alliances through arms exports and joint development of military technology.”

  4. جديد: #حاخام يويل أغير ، القائد البارز للعبادة اليهودية المتطرفة #اليهودية "ليف تاهور" ("القلب النقي" باللغة العبرية) في غواتيمالا بعد عملية تقودها إنتربول

    تم القبض على زعيم العبادة #اليهودية البالغ من العمر 35 عامًا بعد تقديم طلب رسمي للتسليم من قبل المكسيك ، حيث يواجه تهم الاتجار بالبشر.

    تأسست في إسرائيل في عام 1988 ، كانت عبادة "ليف تاهور" اليهودية تخضع للتدقيق بسبب جرائم خطيرة ، بما في ذلك إساءة معاملة #الأطفال ، والاتجار بالبشر ، والزواج القسري للقاصرين.

    في ديسمبر 2024 ، أنقذت السلطات الغواتيمالية 160 طفلاً و 40 امرأة من براثن هذه العبادة الشريرة.

    — 🇮🇱 ✡️ NEW: #Rabbi Yoel Alter, a prominent leader of the ultra-Orthodox #Jewish cult 'Lev Tahor' ('Pure Heart' in #Hebrew) was arrested in Guatemala following an operation led by Interpol

    The 35 year old Jewish cult leader was apprehended after an official request for extradition was submitted by #Mexico, where he faces #human trafficking charges.

    Founded in Israel in 1988, the Jewish 'Lev Tahor' cult has been under scrutiny for serious crimes, including child abuse, human #trafficking, and forced marriages of minors.

    In December 2024, #Guatemalan authorities rescued 160 #children and 40 women from the clutches of this evil cult.

  7. Inside #OperationPBSuccess, When The #CIA And A #BananaCompany Destroyed #Guatemalan #Democracy

    "In 1954, Operation PBSuccess dismantled Guatemala’s newfound democracy — so that an American fruit company could continue to profit off the old government’s #corruption.

    "Throughout the early 20th century, an American multinational corporation called the United Fruit Company — now known as #ChiquitaBrands International — controlled vast swaths of Guatemalan land and production. Aided by a corrupt #autocracy, it received little pushback over decades of economic #exploitation.

    "But in the 1940s, a democratic #revolution and calls for #justice threatened to undermine United Fruit’s position. So the company leveraged its powerful connections inside the #WhiteHouse — painting the new Guatemalan government as a dangerous #Communist administration in the process.

    "As a result, the CIA launched Operation PBSuccess: a sweeping coup that destroyed the country’s democracy, installed a dictator, and sparked a decades-long #CivilWar and genocide of the #Indigenous #Mayan people.
