[Subheading] Who supplies arms to Israel?

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s arms transfers database, 68 percent of Israel’s weapons imports between 2013 and 2022 came from the US.

The US military also stockpiles weapons on the ground in Israel, presumably for use by the US army itself. However, the US has allowed Israel to make use of some of these supplies during the Gaza war.

Besides the US, Israel also receives military imports from other nations.

*Weapons imported from Germany make up 28 percent of Israel’s military imports. Germany’s military exports rose nearly tenfold in 2023 compared with 2022 after it increased sales to Israel in November, according to figures from the German Economic Ministry. Germany primarily supplies Israel with components for air defence systems and communications equipment, according to the German press agency dpa.

* The United Kingdom has licensed at least 474 million pounds ($594m) in military exports to Israel since 2015, Human Rights Watch reported in December 2023. These exports included aircraft, missiles, tanks, technology and ammunition, including components for the F-35 stealth bomber used in Gaza.

* In Canada, dozens of civil society groups have recently urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to end arms exports to Israel. The government says it does not send full weapons systems to Israel, but these civil society groups claim it is downplaying the amount of military support it provides. “Canadian companies have exported over $84m [114 million Canadian dollars] in military goods to Israel since 2015,” said Michael Bueckert, vice president of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, an advocacy group, adding that the government has continued to approve arms exports since the start of the war.
* Australia’s foreign affairs minister has said the country has not provided weapons to Israel since the start of the war. However, The Australian Greens party’s defence spokesperson, David Shoebridge, has asked for the government to be more transparent about exactly what items have been exported to Israel, adding that the country has one of the most secretive weapons export systems in the world. Amnesty International has also called on Australia to halt arms sales to Israel and claims the country has approved 322 defence exports to Israel over the past six years.

* In France, a pro-Palestine demonstration on February 7 called on French companies, including Dassault Aviation, to stop selling arms to Israel. Demonstrators said, according to the Anadolu news agency, “all French companies that sell arms to the Tel Aviv administration are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza”.

The Media Giants Wont Tell Us This, But There Are Protests Happening All Over The US. With The Coordinated

The media giants won’t tell us this, but there are protests happening all over the US. With the coordinated BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement, large corporations like Sbux and Wackdonalds are feeling the hurt - collective action Works.

Text for the tweet below the cut, for those comrades who need it.

I found this via Instagram yesterday, Feb 14.

A screen grab of an Instagram post, titled: ‘Golden Gate Bridge Briefly Blocked by Activists Calling for Cease Fire in Gaza’

Post credited to kqednews and reads: ‘Activists calling for a ceasefire in Gaza blocked traffic on the Golden Gate Bridge this morning around 7:30 a.m. Traffic was closed for about 20 minutes and reopened by 8 a.m.

Israel is preparing for a military offensive in Rafah, a city and location of a border crossing at the southern end of Gaza where Palestinians are seeking refuge but unable to leave, prompting warnings by President Joe Biden to not proceed without a plan to protect civilians.

In the Bay Area, protestors had previously blocked the Bay Bridge in November to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.’

The image shown is taken from the Golden Gate Bridge, where 4 activists are wearing masks and holding a large banner-sign that says “STOP ARMING ISRAEL”, behind them you can see traffic lined up.

Like for example. Daishinkan: Sorry, I got those angels called Vermin, Vermout, Verminne, Mouth, Vermo, Vermont (not kidding), please choose another name. ???: Alright, I pick Belmod. Daishinkan: I will check....that name is available. Welcome to your duty, Lord Belmod.

Some interesting alcoholic drinks that could be other angels' names

Whilst in the angel realm, the concept of weirdness may not similar to what is Universe 7's Earth idea of weirdness but this is likely that the angels rarely find things and philosophy as odd, and if they did, it is not universally agreed due to huge differences of opinions and the rarity of finding things weird, is well, rare. But while being named by the Grand Minister is a blessing, there are few names that can raise few eyebrows up, like:

Denaturat ( From Denatured alcohol aka the stuff you can't drink. he is the family secret, not really broke any rules but he's a menace).

Spike (From Spiked Punch, a life of the party, a colourful character, looks calm in the outside but everyone finds out the extrovert they are).

Punchi/Punch (From Punch, can be cordial but got a heavy mouth and speaks informally. At random times they speak their mind and they don't hold back any punches hehe.)

Kilju (From Kilju, it is pronounced similarly to "Kill you" in Universe 7 and the name is considered as a curse in Universe 5, Universe 9 and Universe 8, akin to curse people to bad luck and despair. Even saying their name is taboo in some areas in Universe 8.)

Pruno (From Pruno, aka Prison Wine, enough said, she's good for emergencies).

Fusela (From Fusel Alcohol or Rotgut, aka the "bad liquor", troublemaker, check, considered as a fault, check, her demeanour is utmost strange, even to angel standards.)

Daishinkan will never run out good names for the angels, especially the kais are still creating hehehe.
