Israeli forces deploy explosive robots at ‘unprecedented pace’, obliterating homes and displacing families.

Since Israel announced last month that it was expanding its assault on the city, home to nearly one million people, massive explosions have rocked the area almost nightly.

At the centre of this new wave of violence is Israel’s latest battlefield tactic: remotely controlled, explosive-packed vehicles.

          Denmark has been providing Israel with all sorts of weapons, maybe not these but they have been actively helping Israel commit genocide

            I was just looking into it myself, but I’m having a hard time finding anything outlining what - if any - material military assistance Denmark has given to Israel. Most of the coverage is about Denmark’s official stance, which while not uncritical I agree is far, far too mild.

            Edit: Apparently Denmark has sent a frigate as a patrol ship? That’s all I’ve been able to find so far.

              For several years, Danish authorities have allowed Danish companies to export components for F-35 fighter jets through a US-led defence cooperation without conducting specific assessments of the risk of contributing to war crimes. The US sells the finished fighter jets to Israel.

              Israel is the first country – besides the US – to deploy the fighter jets.

                That’d make sense unfortunately. I know Denmark was part of the JSF program. I seem to recall something about Danish companies being involved with the avionics, but looking now, I can’t find anything but financial participation, so maybe I’m remembering that wrong. Regardless, if components of the F-35 are produced in Denmark, do you think we’d be allowed to pick and choose at our own discretion? Buddy, please. We’re a country of five million people, I can see Russia from here on a clear day and Trump is a cunt who’s threatening to annex Greenland every other week (the other weeks are taken up by Russia threatening to literally nuke us). We’ve already experienced serious issues with the US stalling us from handing out old F-16’s of to Ukraine using ITAR as it is. Denmark fucking with the F-35 program? No, I don’t think so.

                You’re barking up the wrong tree here, I think.

      Firestone is ownetby Bridgestone, which is a Japanese company. Just saying it’s more than just the US that is bankrolling Israel
