Jump To Comment: 1It seems a well kept secret. I only found out when I read a book by Amnesty "Ireland and the Arms Trade"
You know those big nasty AH-64 Apache helicopter gunships and the Hellfire anti-tank missiles?
Palestinians are VERY familiar with their use.
Some of the hi-tech components are made in good old "neutral" Ireland.
Our government licences quite a lot of companies to make 'arms components' and 'dual-use technology' for export to countries with very bad human rights records.
Analog Limerick admitted to me that they made stuff for the Israeli military. (before their lawyers try to sue me, they should talk to the guys who manned their stand at the UL science fair and ask how they didn't twig I was recording my conversation with their sales reps).
DDC Ireland, Moog, Montek, Timoney, Raytheon, and loads of other companies are listed in the Amnesty book as providing products for military / police use. Some of these items are components for F-16s, missiles, helicopters, tanks, landmines, you name it.
So if we are going to protest the Israeli establishment, lets call on our own government to stop arming them.
