    It’s purely financial. We make a lot of weapons and we like selling them. The best customers are the ones currently using the weapons, since that lets us test them in the field and guarantees that they’ll want to buy more since they’ve just exploded the last order.

    I honestly don’t think they care who the weapons are being used against, and the “antisemetic” label is little more than a shield used to deflect criticism. If the bombs were being used by Saudi Arabia to level Israel, I’m confident that the political apathy would be similar.

    If you want them to care about more than that, they have to believe you’d vote for a party opposed to selling weapons to genociders, but instead of Green, the country voted Labour with their stated unshakeable support for genocide so… we get who we vote for.
