Much of this is powered by israeli company Elbit Systems, because of course it is.

    Listen, I don't trust Israelis to do a lot of things, but I'm confident in their ability to secure their borders wage total war on their neighbors in retaliation for insane border policies.

    ResearchAndMarkets.com’s November report on “Border Security Technologies”says that the market will exceed $70 billion globally in 2027, rising from $48 billion in 2022.

    There's a lot of money for another self-licking ice cream cone.

    Moving forward on these programs will “save lives and bring order to the border,” President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union address last week.

    Elbit production should be attacked more. Why is it that only Palestine Action in the UK seems to be targeting them? Is it not possible for organised groups elsewhere to do so?

    Given the current state of affairs it would be popularly supported.
