The Israeli arms industry is only a small part of global arms production, but it occupies a niche of great importance. It has gained a leading position in its areas of technological specialization. Israel\u2019s arms export policy is founded on an unscrupulous principle: \u201aThe enemy of my enemy is my friend\u2018. For example, The Israeli government allows arms exports to almost all countries that are regarded as opponents of Israel\u2019s opponents.<\/p>

CASE 06: GLOBAL NET\n\u201eProfiteers of seclusion. How arms companies earn billions with arms supplies and border security systems \u2013 and what we can do about it\u201c.\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Worldwide research focuses on arms exports to crisis and war zones as an extremely lucrative business for arms manufacturing companies. Arms manufacturers \u2013 such as Airbus-Group SE, BAE Systems, Israel Aerospace Industries, Leonardo SpA, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Rheinmetall AG, Rockwell Collins Inc. or the Thales Group \u2013 are among the leading arms suppliers to human rights abusers and warring states in Africa, Asia or America. The weapons produced by these corporations are used to fire at and displace countless people.<\/p>

What is particularly cynical is the fact that it is precisely these corporations that benefit in two ways from the global business of death: It is precisely them who export weapons to sham democrats, repressors and dictators and thus exacerbate conflicts. On the other hand, they also supply military equipment, surveillance electronics, drone or satellite technology that seal off borders and prevent people from fleeing to a safe country.<\/p>

In times of the \u201ewar on terror\u201c such arms deliveries are euphemistically called \u201eborder security\u201c. But every year thousands and thousands of people become victims of this policy of isolation.<\/p>

Writing for the GLOBAL NET \u2013 STOP THE ARMS TRADE, the authors use the example of selected corporations to show how the rich North benefits from the plight of the people in the exploited South. And they develop concrete options for action on how we can actively counter the profiteers on border security in the global North.<\/p>
