Greece Buys Israeli Rockets, Proves 'Defense' Profits All
Greece's parliament approved a €650 million deal for 36 Israeli PULS rocket systems. This comes as Israel's military operations offer a grim, real-time product demonstration. One might wonder if the efficacy was proven through 'live fire exercises' in a certain besieged strip, creating a rather morbid marketing opportunity. The 'export-or-die' mentality of some defense industries apparently finds
fertile ground amidst global instability. While Greek officials trumpet 'strengthening capabilities,' they omit the optics. Buying weapons from a nation currently facing international scrutiny for its conduct in Gaza, where over 37,000 Palestinians have been killed as of early June 2024, paints a stark picture. It's not just about defense; it's about validating the very industries that profit from
destruction, essentially turning human suffering into sales figures. The cost of 'security,' it seems, often includes complicity.
