Boeing's Patriot Gains, Gaza's Patriot Woes
"The Hill" proudly announces that Boeing has secured an additional $2.7 billion in contracts for Patriot missile seekers, boosting production to meet 'global demand.' What they conveniently omit is that this 'demand' often stems from the very conflicts fueled by such arms sales. These aren't just contracts; they're investments in perpetual war, enriching defense contractors while civilians
globally—especially in places like Gaza—face the sharp end of U.S.-supplied weaponry. This endless cycle of investment, often justified by 'national security,' directly correlates with the increasing civilian death tolls that mainstream media then frames as unavoidable 'collateral damage.' One might wonder, how many American hospitals or schools could $2.7 billion fund, versus how many more
missiles does endless profit require? Every 'Patriot' missile seeker bought is a vote for profit over peace, and a clear signal of whose security truly matters.
