Today, anti-Israel protesters are attempting to attack all of capitalism in the name of "justice."
The protests already started in Australia, where the so-called A15 Group say they are attacking "the arteries of capitalism" claiming "the global economy is complicit in genocide."
As usual, they conflate all the causes they believe in and create artificial linkages between them. This is the logic of "pinkwashing" and "ecocide" and all the other absurd allegations they come up with.
So of course, capitalism is one of the targets.
This is typified by the book The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World written by by Antony Loewenstein where he pretends that Israel's selling defense tech is immoral. Of course, he is not concerned that North Korea sells missile technology to Iran or Iran selling drones to Russia. Their profits are pure.
He must be fuming that Iran has helped boost Israeli defense and tech stocks.
Israeli defense stocks are doing very well over the past two days (the markets are open in Israel on Sundays.)
As Globes reports,
Sigma Investment House CEO Yair Shani told "Globes," "The story of the defense stocks is quite simple. There was very significant proof yesterday of the technological capabilities of the State of Israel, behind which are the defense companies, not all of which are publicly traded, but some are. There is no doubt that there will be very large demand for defense products from Israel."Shani expects a major boom in the sector. He stressed, "Countries to which we want to supply defense technology will now be eager to buy, after seeing how the country is protected. This is the best sales promotion. Iran has done excellent sales promotion for Israel's arms companies. This will give a very big boost to the industry, of course focusing mainly on defense."
Aerodrome ("solutions for collecting, processing, and analyzing information from the air using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), advanced software, and artificial intelligence applications in the civil and security markets"), went from 74.30 shekels before the open Sunday to 84.2 today, a jump of 13%.
Elbit jumped 4.5% at the open Sunday before easing back a little today.
Next Vision Stabilized Systems which makes stabilized cameras, went up 8.6% since Sunday morning.
Third Eye Systems, which makes high-end object recognition algorithms used by the IDF, soared 17% since close last week, going up from 375 to 439 on the TASE.
Yes, Israel's defense industries will make a lot of money off of Iran's attack of Israel.
Countries worldwide will want to buy anything that helps them defend against terrorists, jihadists and totalitarian regimes that these supposed "human rights defenders" all seem to love.
