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.”

A federal judge Thurs blocked the #Trump admin from immediately deporting #Guatemalan #children who came to the #US alone back to their home country, the latest step in a court struggle over Trump’s #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #immigration agenda.
The decision by Judge Timothy J. Kelly comes after the Republican admin’s Labor Day weekend attempt to remove Guatemalan immigrant children who were living in government #shelters & #fostercare.

More than 500 years ago in the midwestern #Guatemalan highlands, #Maya people bought and sold goods with far less oversight from their rulers than many #archeologists previously thought.
