Corporations that specialize in manufacturing weapons of war are excited about Israel’s war on Gaza, letting their top investors know that huge profits are on the way. Already overflowing with cash thanks to seemingly endless U.S.

    People have been campaigning for peace in the Palestine region for longer than anyone’s been alive. It’s just that people pushing for war, driven by profit, have been far more effective.

    What’s interesting to look at, I think, is how restraint has been developed over the years. WW1 and WW2 were no doubt a big boon for the war industry, but at the same time because war was everywhere it had plenty of negative effects on the manufacturers and dealers themselves. Now, manufacturing and selling is kept safely away from the actual war itself.
