The fact this meme implies anything resembling an equal conflict is a pretty bad framing, despite a decent overall sentiment.

Yeah, make the Gaza monkey 50% younger, change the knife into a rock, and put the Israel one on a death star space station. That's closer to reality.

[-] NewDark@lemmings.world 5 points 1 year ago

Look, they're terror rock attacks.

The UN guy made sure to be very clear about it about a year back

Beyond parody lmao

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Talking of rocks, I remember low level scraps between youths and border guards in previous years where the Palestinian boys used slings with rocks like David and Goliath. That weapon has a very long history in the region.

Maybe the gun should be bigger

Except Israel is more of a 500 lb genocidal Silverback gorilla

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

It's not a war, it's a genocide.

Which Rule of Acquisition is this again?

#10: Greed is eternal.

#45: Expand or die.

I think they've all taken this to heart, like good Ferengi.

This is what President Eisenhower was warning us about when he talked about the "military-industrial complex." A series of forever wars that existed for no other reason than to benefit corporations and billionaires.

There is always someone profiting out of a war.

[-] tacosplease@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Meanwhile Ukraine is the meme with the boyfriend looking at the girl in the dress. I'm bummed that Israel and Hamas are sucking up all the oxygen.

[-] GenEcon@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

And Russia completely missing. Russia is the biggest profiteer of this war by far!

[-] catfish@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

And on raytheon, what did they do?

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Boeing and Raytheon are massive weapon companies that make drones, missiles, targeting systems etc

[-] Zehzin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Raytheon stocks more than doubled in value this year.

You could say business is booming

[-] nikscha@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

Both are in the arms business. They make money from war.

[-] maniacal_gaff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yup and if they didn't make money, Putin's tanks would have just ravaged Ukraine instead of being blown up all over the place by Javelins.

[-] criticon@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

They make shitty earbuds and sponsor YouTubers and podcast /s

[-] craftyindividual@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

You joke but I used to get Raycon, Ray-Ban and Raytheon confused at a time.

[-] blackluster117@possumpat.io 3 points 1 year ago

Imagine if they had the same parent company?

[-] c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Boeing and Raytheon are military contractors, and the US has characteristically kept itself in or around global conflict in order to continue handing out multi-billion dollar contracts to these companies (and more like them.) Weapons/Platform manufacturing and sales is a large portion of our economic output.
