BRITISH BAE SYSTEMS SUPPORTING ISRAEL GENOCIDE IN GAZA 

The British weapons industry has been cashing in on the genocide in Gaza with a
pivotal role being played by BAE Systems in supplying the Zionist killing
machine.  The British weapons industry has been cashing in on the genocide in
Gaza with a pivotal role being played by BAE Systems in supplying the Zionist
killing machine.  While people across the world have been horrified at Israel's
genocide against the Palestinians of Gaza, there have been some powerful sources
celebrating the unleashing of this firepower on the Strip.  British arms giant,
BAE Systems, reported the highest ever profits in 2023, partly due to the NATO
war in Ukraine, but also thanks to Israel's attempt to subjugate Gaza.  This
merchant of death, BAE Systems, enjoyed record sales, a total of £25.3 billion
by the end of2023.  BAE Systems provides the Israeli Air Force with essential
systems for their F-15, F-16, and, F- 35 fighter jets.  

BAE provides the Israeli military with electronic missile launching kits and
heads up display gun- sight technology for the F 16 aircraft, which is essential
to targeting.  Fifteen percent of the value of the F-35 fighter jet is made in
Britain, with US giant Lockheed Martin boasting that the fingerprint of British
ingenuity can be found on dozens of the aircraft's key components.  In Britain,
there is a history of working with Israeli arms companies such as Raphael and
the infamous Elbit Systems.  The Rokar Silver Bullet is a precision guidance kit
that BAE developed in close cooperation with the Israeli military in 2015.  It
is designed to convert large caliber projectiles, such as those launched by
tanks and warships, into very accurate munitions.  

The Silver Bullet from BAE has been sold to Israeli armament maker IMI Systems,
owned by Elbit Systems since 2018, for incorporation into M4 155 millimeter
cannon artillery.The Israeli military unmanned protector drones are equipped
with a remotely operated Naval Weapons System called the Mk 38 typhoon gun
system, which BAE upgraded in collaboration with Rafael Advanced Defense
Systems, an Israeli weapons firm.  Even Israel's Apache attack helicopters
include components from a BAE Systems subsidiary, Rokar, which was later
purchased by Elbit Systems.  Evidently, while the British political elite may
feign ignorance on Gaza, they certainly do know which side of BAE systems' bread
is buttered.
