Weapons and military technology used by terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah are primarily acquired through illicit networks, with Iran identified as the main state sponsor and supplier.
These groups generally do not purchase weapons directly from legitimate, publicly-listed arms companies, which are subject to international sanctions and regulations. Instead, the weapons are often smuggled, domestically manufactured with foreign know-how, or acquired through black markets. Often they had even made their own lethal brand.
Iran primarily supplies its proxy groups with arms and ammunition acquired through domestic production, as well as through imports and technology transfers from countries like Russia, China, and North Korea. All the terrorists from Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, involving Syria andLebanon are involved against killing Israelis, whether they are IDFor civilians.
I just read the most irrational article about Jews in a synagogue angry over companies that are supplying arms for Israel:
Elbit Systems is the Israeli defense firm whose technology is widely used by Israel’s military and, in some cases, by U.S. law enforcement and border security agencies. A protest outside Wilshire Boulevard Temple — one of Los Angeles’ oldest synagogues — ended with two arrests Wednesday after demonstrators confronted attendees at an event featuring a speaker from Elbit Systems.
The Wilshire Boulevard Temple, known from 1862 to 1933 as Congregation B'nai B'rith, is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue at 3663 Wilshire Boulevard, in the Wilshire Center neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, United States. Founded in 1862, it is the oldest Jewish congregation in Los Angeles. I fear they've also lost their deep history of their people and how long Israelis have been fighting to keep Israel. We not only have this Reformed group losing their grip on being Jewish, but it has shown up in our own very orthodox in Israel !
"Top rabbis order Yeshiva students to ignore IDF call-ups amid brewing coalition crisis. Haredi parties escalate threats to bolt government if Netanyahu fails to pass ultra-Orthodox draft exemption law within weeks; Lapid demands PM condemn calls for refusal.
I wasn't the only only shocked and disappointed at these demonstrators! The reaction was swift. “This behavior is abhorrent and has no place in Los Angeles,” Mayor Karen Bass said. The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles called the demonstration “antisemitism and hate disguised as dissent,” while ADL California said, “Blocking or invading a house of worship is not legitimate protest. It’s intimidation.”
So the very beginning and very end of the spectrum of Judaism are people unwilling to help their only Jewish country, Israel, who was able to rise out of the ashes after 2,000 years of waiting and prayers, like their past kings, Saul, David, and yes, even Solomon would have. It's all the others, the citizens of Israel who really care about her, both there and in the diaspora. Well, there's no David amongst this group of Yeshiva students that I can see ! Have they touched upon our history going back to Moses?
In facing these facts, I can only bring to mind the mothers I knew of IDF 18 years olds who had to face their sons finally being part of the IDF and facing the fighting. They shuddered and never had another night's sleep after saying good-bye, waiting for them to return. By today, many of them had also done their 2 years of service when young, too.
