NATO impressed by Israel’s genocide tech – The Electronic Intifada

A few people are profiting handsomely from the genocidal war against Gaza.

Elbit Systems, a leading Israeli weapons maker, has reported a considerable increased demand for its products since the war was declared.

About 15 percent of Elbits workforce in Israel has been called up by the military.

Even with reduced staff, the firm is ready to exploit the opportunities afforded by mass slaughter. Not only is it anticipating fresh orders from Israels defense ministry, it is endeavoring to keep international clients satisfied.

Within the past three weeks, Elbit has announced new deals with Canada and Romania.

Both of those countries belong to NATO.

Israel, on the other hand, is nominally outside the alliance. Yet Israels cooperation with NATO is flourishing.

Back in January, Elbit clinched a contract with the NATO Support and Procurement Agency. Under it, Elbit supplies warplane equipment and runs a service center at the agencys headquarters in Luxembourg.

Through a 2018 deal, the agency acts as a conduit through which Israel can sell weapons to NATO members. The arrangement has proven beneficial for Israel, Haim Regev, the states ambassador to the European Union and NATO indicated earlier this year.

Regev accompanied Mircea Geoana, NATOs deputy secretary general, on a trip to Israel in September.

The launch appears to have been postponed amid the Gaza genocide.

I contacted NATO, asking whether the launch would take place once the situation was regarded as calmer. The alliances spokesperson did not answer my question.

Rob Bauer, the Dutch admiral chairing NATOs military committee, also visited Israel in September.

Bauer declared himself impressed by the capabilities of the Gaza division in Israels army. He expressed particular interest in how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics were being applied in monitoring what he called border crossings.

A NATO representative was, in effect, praising Israel for blockading a civilian population with the aid of advanced technology.

Read a few months later, the message looks even more sinister.

The website +972 Magazine has revealed that Israel is using AI to choose targets in its current war against Gaza.

It is improbable that the AI system serving that deadly purpose is entirely separate from the one that impressed Bauer in the recent past. Not surprisingly, NATO would not answer a question I asked about whether Israel is keeping it updated on the use of AI in the current war.

While meeting Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, during September, NATOs Mircea Geoana stressed a strong interest in building upon the exceptional technological sophistication of your great nation.

Israel is now carrying out a genocide with the aid of its exceptional technology. We can expect that it will be congratulated for doing so by NATOs ever-so-sophisticated elite.
