The GOAT Merchant of Death: How Israel became the largest per-capita weapons hustler the world has ever known - susan abulhawa (2026-08-25) https://susanabulhawa.substack.com/p/the-goat-merchant-of-death ——— >> All weapons-transaction data were obtained from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (#SIPRI) ... SIPRI only tracks major conventional weapons—aircraft, armor, missiles, air-defense systems, sensors, ships—and explicitly excludes small arms, ammunition, services, training, and most drone, cyber, and surveillance exports, which are leading Israeli exports. ... Countries also differ enormously in how transparent they are about their own arms industries, and Israel is among the opaquest of any major exporter: it publishes … only a single annual aggregate dollar total from the Ministry of Defense, and only recently. That means the true scale of Israel’s weapons economy is greatly understated here… #MerchantOfDeath #BoycottIstael #palestine@palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
