    “Weapon Industry” is the softest term they could come up for the military industrial complex?

      Weapon industry is not in any way softer than military industrial complex. There might even be a language thing going on, since in German it’s called Waffenindustrie. There are clearer points to criticise here.

        Everyone else is already making those valid criticisms.

        My point is is that they’ve gone full mask off now. If they cared about the moderates or fence sitters, they’d be saying “defense industry”.

      Your beef is people using real words for things instead of Americanized word-bundles?

        This is Israel propaganda. They’ve been twisting words to suite their needs this whole time. Why do you think they use the word “settlers” when what they’ve been doing would be called invading or colonizing if it was any other country. They have their heads so far up their collective asses they’re not even bothering to call it the “defense industry” or something softer.

        Where did you get this term? Americanized word-bundle, lmao. It describes itself same as Dwight Eisenhower and the military industrial complex
