Israeli arms companies will be at the Spanish Defence Fair + Spain awarded contracts worth 1.027 billion Euros to Israelis since 7 October + Still lets weapons pass to Israel-

Spain has been above most depraved pro-Genocide EU States, but bribed politicians still allow lucrative arms deals to go ahead, only awaiting a Gaza Ceasefire to resume full bloody business as usual.

Chile and Colombia banned Israeli companies from from their Arms Fairs.

Israeli Arms Companies are invoited to the International Defense and Security Fair of Spain (Feindef), the only fair in the sector institutionally supported by the Ministry of Defense.

Next edition of the Fair will be held on May 12, 13 and 14, 2025 at Ifema (Madrid).

Two months ago (a year before its celebration), the event organizers announced that they already had 80% of the space reserved. Among the international delegations that have already confirmed their presence, they point out in the official dossier, is Israel.

Feindef Foundation, founded by the Ministry of Defense, claimns to be “a private, “non-profit foundation that raises awareness in Spanish and European society on issues related to Security and Defense”. It was sponsored by the industrial associations, TEDAE and AESMIDE, in 2020.

Chile vetoed Israel from their Arms fair as did Colombian

Israel’s presence at Feindef is usual. In the 2023 edition (the last one that has been held) two of the main arms companies of the Middle Eastern country participated, such as Rafael Advanced Defense Systems LTD or Elbit Systems LTD.

Freedom’s Top Ten Olympic Moments

The Olympic games have finally come to a close — here are our takeaways

from thefreeonline on Aug 13th 2024 by FreedomNews...shared with thanks! ( see TheFree on Telegram: t.me/thefreeonline )

1. Sabotage by arson

The action by a still unknown group of saboteurs was truly the gift that keeps on giving. On opening night, as the world looked to Paris for the opening ceremony of the Olympics it wasn’t the olympic torch that was catching our eye but the coordinated fire-bombing of signal boxes affecting three of France’s major national lines.

This sabotage, that affected over 800,000 passengers, was followed by immediate calls by French politicians and executives for the capture of the “bunch of crazy, irresponsible people”.

Initially, it seemed a saboteur had been caught, at least according to the French Minister of the Interior and right wing newspaper the Figaro. Unfortunately for them this “ultra-left militant” turned out to be a graffiti artist, with the unfortunate coincidence of having a book for his sociology course in his car when he was caught.

Having seemingly exhausted all options, the French Police have now asked the FBI for help investigating the “unexpected delegation” that emailed major newspapers regarding the sabotage, though they did not claim responsibility explicitly.

2. Insurrectionary art

In an olympics saturated by the sponsorship of advertisers, it was a breath of fresh air to see their grand adverts retaken by protest art throughout Paris. From Nike’s partnership with the Centre Pompidou to highlighting the sports washing of big polluters, no advertisement was safe from rebranding by Paris’s street artists.

Potential conscripts evade draft, flee country

An estimated 800,000 Ukrainian men have gone “underground” due to the threat of military mobilization amid the conflict with Russia, a senior MP in Kiev, Dmitry Natalukha, has told the Financial Times.

The lawmaker stated the case for economic-driven exemptions from the draft.

Kiev introduced a harsh new system for military conscription earlier this year, which was intended to discourage draft avoidance through the threat of serious punishment.

One consequence was that businesses operating legally in Ukraine are now at a disadvantage compared to those in the ‘shadow economy,’ the FT explained.
