[Subheading] Who supplies arms to Israel?

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s arms transfers database, 68 percent of Israel’s weapons imports between 2013 and 2022 came from the US.

The US military also stockpiles weapons on the ground in Israel, presumably for use by the US army itself. However, the US has allowed Israel to make use of some of these supplies during the Gaza war.

Besides the US, Israel also receives military imports from other nations.

*Weapons imported from Germany make up 28 percent of Israel’s military imports. Germany’s military exports rose nearly tenfold in 2023 compared with 2022 after it increased sales to Israel in November, according to figures from the German Economic Ministry. Germany primarily supplies Israel with components for air defence systems and communications equipment, according to the German press agency dpa.

* The United Kingdom has licensed at least 474 million pounds ($594m) in military exports to Israel since 2015, Human Rights Watch reported in December 2023. These exports included aircraft, missiles, tanks, technology and ammunition, including components for the F-35 stealth bomber used in Gaza.

* In Canada, dozens of civil society groups have recently urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to end arms exports to Israel. The government says it does not send full weapons systems to Israel, but these civil society groups claim it is downplaying the amount of military support it provides. “Canadian companies have exported over $84m [114 million Canadian dollars] in military goods to Israel since 2015,” said Michael Bueckert, vice president of Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, an advocacy group, adding that the government has continued to approve arms exports since the start of the war.

* Australia’s foreign affairs minister has said the country has not provided weapons to Israel since the start of the war. However, The Australian Greens party’s defence spokesperson, David Shoebridge, has asked for the government to be more transparent about exactly what items have been exported to Israel, adding that the country has one of the most secretive weapons export systems in the world. Amnesty International has also called on Australia to halt arms sales to Israel and claims the country has approved 322 defence exports to Israel over the past six years.

* In France, a pro-Palestine demonstration on February 7 called on French companies, including Dassault Aviation, to stop selling arms to Israel. Demonstrators said, according to the Anadolu news agency, “all French companies that sell arms to the Tel Aviv administration are complicit in Israel’s genocide in Gaza”.

The fact that over 10,000 people and counting in Gaza (likely way more than that considering how many people are missing/buried under the rubble) are dead is fucking unfathomable. I don’t think some people even understand how many 10,000 out of 2.2 million people is. Nearly half a percent of the population. Nearly one in every 200 people are dead in the Gaza Strip. In my home state of Texas, this would be as if you killed roughly 135,000 people. Any number of lives lost to violent military occupation is horrific, but this is on a scale that I don’t think most of us can even wrap our heads around. And just today it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that the United States is sending $320 million to Israel to arm them with more fucking bombs. I hope no one ever forgives us. I hope we never forgive ourselves.

"They gave us water in front of the camera, and after filming was over, they took our luggage, destroyed it, and we ran away while soldiers shoot under our feet."

Survivor testimony of this event. https://t.co/Dbuv7DhQhL

Horrifying non-video testimonies of those displaced from #Gaza City to the south of Wadi Gaza:

🚨 IOF soldiers stopped young men at the wall and shot them.

🚨 They gave us water in front of the camera, and after filming was over, they took our luggage, destroyed it, and we ran…

FOR THE NEW FANS OF IWTV JOINING US FROM NETFLIX, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND:

This is an adaptation. This is Rolin Jones’s interpretation of IWTV. Some things are from the genius of Rolin, other things are direct parallels to the source material.

Nothing is black & white. The show is complex in its entirety.

A reoccurring theme is “Memory is a Monster”. Contradictions, delusions, lack of recollection, and discrepancies in each character are applicable. It is solely up to you, the viewer, the consumer, to determine who/what is reliable and who/what is not.

Another reoccurring theme is “Evil is a Point of View”, a direct quote from the 1st book.

S1 is Louis’s point of view. S2 is Louis’s point of view, with other pov’s included.

THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE CHRONICLES IS AS FOLLOWS: Humanity vs. Vampirism, Good vs. Evil. MEANING — 2 things can be true at the same time. We humans have our way of life just as vampires have their way of life. What we deem as good vs. evil is based on our nature. What vampires deem as good vs. evil is based on their nature.

Most importantly — IT IS OKAY TO ROOT FOR A VILLAIN. EVERY CHARACTER IS FLAWED. IT IS OKAY TO LOVE A CHARACTER AND HATE THEIR ACTIONS AT THE SAME TIME!

There is no right or wrong answer. It is all subjective. Everything is based on perception so contrasting opinions are inevitable. That is literally the point. But let us not forget that at the end of the day, this IS still in fact fiction.
