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.

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.

scatter a few dead kids and women and you're set

That would be both of them.

Except for accuracy they should have been labelled Hamas and IDF since the civilians of both areas are the victims and shouldn't be lumped in with the apartheid regime and the terrorists..

Google the history of the Nakba.

And don't act like "Lil bean Israel was just minding it's own business when all the savage Arabs attacked and they just had to steal more land". It's ahistorical at best and fucking racist at worst.

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.

#10: Greed is eternal.

#45: Expand or die.

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

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.

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

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

Raytheon stocks more than doubled in value this year.

You could say business is booming

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

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.

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

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.
