War Profiteering: Israel's 2025 'Deals' Are Just Business for Some
Al Jazeera dutifully reported on Israel's record-setting 'gas, technology and military deals' for 2025, framed as standard 'business and economy news.' The article highlights countries eager to deepen financial ties, showcasing a booming industry amid escalating aggression. What it avoids mentioning, of course, is that a significant portion of this economic 'success' is directly tied to the
ongoing, well-documented violence in Gaza, which tragically became a live-fire laboratory for 'advanced' military tech. While business sections celebrate these 'deals,' the human cost is filed under 'humanitarian crisis' in a different part of the newspaper—if at all. It's almost as if the 'innovative' surveillance systems and 'precision' weaponry being offloaded globally didn't get their
real-world 'testing' on actual human beings in Gaza. One might wonder if the executives closing these 'record' deals will be sending holiday cards to the families of over 30,000 Palestinians, whose lives were effectively capitalized into these 'multibillion-dollar' balance sheets.
