The fact this meme implies anything resembling an equal conflict is a pretty bad framing, despite a decent overall sentiment.

Yeah, make the Gaza monkey 50% younger, change the knife into a rock, and put the Israel one on a death star space station. That's closer to reality.
Look, they're terror rock attacks.
The UN guy made sure to be very clear about it about a year back
Beyond parody lmao
Talking of rocks, I remember low level scraps between youths and border guards in previous years where the Palestinian boys used slings with rocks like David and Goliath. That weapon has a very long history in the region.
scatter a few dead kids and women and you're set
(which one is that again? oh well)
That would be both of them.
Except for accuracy they should have been labelled Hamas and IDF since the civilians of both areas are the victims and shouldn't be lumped in with the apartheid regime and the terrorists..
Maybe the gun should be bigger
Except Israel is more of a 500 lb genocidal Silverback gorilla
This is what President Eisenhower was warning us about when he talked about the "military-industrial complex." A series of forever wars that existed for no other reason than to benefit corporations and billionaires.
Which Rule of Acquisition is this again?
34: "War is good for business."
#10: Greed is eternal.
#45: Expand or die.
I think they've all taken this to heart, like good Ferengi.
Yeah, but peace is also good for business
There is always someone profiting out of a war.
Meanwhile Ukraine is the meme with the boyfriend looking at the girl in the dress. I'm bummed that Israel and Hamas are sucking up all the oxygen.
And Russia completely missing. Russia is the biggest profiteer of this war by far!
thats not a war, whats happening is a fucken genocide
More info on Boeing?
And on raytheon, what did they do?
Boeing and Raytheon are massive weapon companies that make drones, missiles, targeting systems etc
So buy their stocks?
Raytheon stocks more than doubled in value this year.
You could say business is booming
Both are in the arms business. They make money from war.
Yup and if they didn't make money, Putin's tanks would have just ravaged Ukraine instead of being blown up all over the place by Javelins.
They make shitty earbuds and sponsor YouTubers and podcast /s
You joke but I used to get Raycon, Ray-Ban and Raytheon confused at a time.
Imagine if they had the same parent company?
Boeing and Raytheon are military contractors, and the US has characteristically kept itself in or around global conflict in order to continue handing out multi-billion dollar contracts to these companies (and more like them.) Weapons/Platform manufacturing and sales is a large portion of our economic output.
