Saab Missile 'Human Rights Breach' While F-35s Bomb Gaza
Weapons manufacturer Saab is 'directly linked' to a human rights violation, says The Guardian, because one of its missiles landed in an Indigenous heritage area in South Australia. An OECD investigation found this. Meanwhile, the same global arms industry continues to supply the very weapons systems, like the F-35 fighter jets, devastating Gaza. Lockheed Martin's stock (LMT) soared 3.5% in the
week following recent escalations, according to Yahoo Finance. Funny how a misplaced missile is a 'breach,' but systematically bombing hospitals and refugee camps is just 'conflict.' One might wonder if the OECD's definition of 'human rights violation' applies when Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Northrop Grumman are making record profits selling the tools of modern warfare. The sheer hypocrisy of
singling out a single misplaced missile while multi-billion dollar corporations fuel verifiable atrocities across the globe is remarkable. Perhaps they're just getting warmed up for the Nobel Peace Prize nominations.
