So far, rather than cutting their ties to Elbit, which supplies the Israeli military with 85% of their killer drone fleet, Keysight has chosen to invest millions in infrastructure and security.<br \/>A spokesperson for People Against Genocide said:<br \/>Keysight Technologies makes a killing by supplying the necessary components for the weapons used to commit mass murder in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and the Congo. By dismantling Keysight&#8217;s research and development site, we are taking necessary direct action against the US and Israeli military industrial complex, responsible for the killing of people across West Asia and in the Congo.<br \/>So long as they are directly involved in genocide, we will continue to target this murderous company, exposing their role in supplying the Israeli and US military, and shutting them down.<br \/>One action taker said:<br \/>Keysight Technologies is a key supplier of Elbit Systems, who are are supplying and supporting the genocidal Israeli army. Wherever there&#8217;s genocide, Elbit Systems is involved. They&#8217;ll participate in any and every other illegal war. Their tag line is &#8220;battle-tested&#8221; on the Palestinian people. That is their marketing line.<br \/>Recently the UAE who is heavily involved in genocide has signed a billion dollar contract with Elbit Systems. Elbit has been looking to the Congo genocide for business opportunities, and their bombs have been used in the Congo. All of the struggles are absolutely the same struggle, connected by the same genocidal maniacs.<br \/>Elbit Systems uses your tax money to make billions while you can&#8217;t afford healthcare, childcare, a holiday, groceries. &#8220;I support genocide&#8221; is legal. &#8220;I oppose genocide&#8221; makes you a terrorist.
