... according to Israeli genocide-supporting arms manufacturer.

OIP’s operations in Belgium have been focused primarily on Ukraine. The company specializes in maintenance, repair, and upgrades of military equipment. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion, OIP has supplied the Ukrainian army with about 260 armored vehicles.

Versluys emphasized that his company has not produced defense systems for Israel in over 20 years. He added that OIP does not even hold an export license to supply equipment to that country.

These facts can be easily verified and the very least you can do if you decide to go destroy stuff. This is not just an innocent protest anymore.

OIP is just a branch of Elbit, so yes 100% of profits go to a company fueling genocide. I don't see you dispute that.

OIP doesn't even claim that these protestors destroyed equipment destined for Ukraine (nor is there any corroborating evidence), only that it was delayed.

I think if we shut off anything that sends any profits to israel tomorrow, you'd probably go back to the 18th century. Meanwhile, russia continues its own genocide...

OIP, the Belgian subsidiary of Israeli weapons manufacturer Elbit Systems.

yes, very sad. Anyway.

Also kinda urelated but there's a weird point about the protesters being women because of behavior and how they wield the hammers, because women are girly and men are manly ig

This sounds a lot less incriminating if you replace OIP with Eblit.
