Don't forget to SIGN OUR OPEN LETTER TO POPE FRANCIS TO PRAY AGAINST FIGHTER JETS (DEADLINE May 31)
We invite you to add your name to our open letter Pope Francis to pray with us that the Government of Canada led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who is Catholic will not buy new fighter jets and instead will invest in the "care for our common home". You don't have to be Catholic to sign on, everyone is welcome.
Sign the Open Letter here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdwl1Cflxldx993tbjCqMR1hIY-LSDcDqEy3nfMuHawITzTMw/viewform
We will also send a copy of a Tshaukuesh Elizabeth Penashue's book  "I Keep the Land Alive" - she talks about the Catholic priests who helped and didn't help the Innu in their struggle against the fighter jet testing.

*Israeli F-35s (that are made in the US and Italy) are bombing Gaza. This report below the Italian peace group that is very opposed to militarism and NATO.  CNGNN Italy tried to stop the Italian government from buying and building F-35s and sadly they failed. Israel is bombing Gaza with these stealth fighters - it was also reported by Al-Jazeera: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/16/gaza-suffers-most-intense-bombing-as-rescuers-dig-for-survivors and The Times of Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-may-11-2021/ (so, so sad and tragic what is going on in Gaza and throughout the West Bank, Canada's response is pathetic and shameful)

Finally, a big thanks to Rachel for making the "corrected" Lockheed Martin graphic - please see this new attached that has "Merchant of Death" crossed over Lockheed Martin's name. Please use this one as well.

Thanks everyone for your help,
Tamara

The art of war
F-35s bombing Gaza
Manlio Dinucci

Israeli Forces' spokesman Zilberman announced the start of the bombing on Gaza, specifying that "80 fighters are taking part in the operation, including the advanced F-35s" (The Times of Israel, May 11, 2021). It is officially the baptism of fire for the US Lockheed Martin's fifth-generation fighter,  whose production Italy also participates in as a second-level partner.
Israel has already received twenty-seven F-35s from the US, and last February decided to buy no longer fifty F-35s but seventy-five. To this end the government has decreed a further allocation of 9 billion dollars: 7 were granted by a US to Israel free military "aid" of 28 billion, 2 were granted by the US Citibank as a loan. While Israeli F-35 pilots were being trained by the U.S. Air Force in Arizona and Israel, the US Army Engineers built in Israel special hardened hangars for the F-35s, suitable for both fighters' maximum protection on the ground, and their rapid take-off on the 0000000000attack. At the same time, the Israeli military industries (Israel Aerospace and Elbit Systems) in close coordination with Lockheed Martin enhanced the fighter renamed "Adir" (Powerful): its ability to penetrate enemy defenses above all, and its range of action which was nearly doubled. These capabilities are certainly not necessary to attack Gaza. Why then are the most advanced fifth-generation fighters used against Palestinians? Because it serves to test F-35 fighters and their pilots in real war action using Gaza homes as targets on a firing range. It does not matter if in the target houses there are entire families.
, Added to the hundreds of fighter-bombers already supplied by the US to Israel, the F-35s are designed for nuclear attack particularly with the new B61-12 bomb. The United States will shortly deploy these nuclear bombs in Italy and other European countries, and will also provide them to Israel, the only nuclear power in the Middle East with an arsenal estimated at 100-400 nuclear weapons. If Israel doubles the range of F-35 fighters and is about to receive eight Boeing Pegasus tankers from the US for refueling the F-35 in flight, it is because it is preparing to launch an attack, even nuclear, against Iran. The Israeli nuclear forces are integrated into the NATO electronic system within the "Individual cooperation program" framework with Israel. Although not a member of the Alliance, Israel is integrated with a permanent mission in the NATO headquarters in Brussels. In the same framework, Germany supplied Israel with six Dolphin submarines. modified for launching nuclear missiles (as Der Spiegel documented in 2012).
Italy's military cooperation with Israel has become a law of the Republic (Law No. 94 of May 17, 2005). This law established comprehensive cooperation between both armed forces and military industries, including activities that remain secret because they are subject to the "Security Agreement" between the two parties. Israel has supplied Italy with the Opsat-3000 satellite, which transmits very high-resolution images for military operations in distant war theaters. The satellite is connected to three centers in Italy and, at the same time, to a fourth center in Israel, as proof of the increasingly close strategic collaboration between the two countries.
Italy supplied00000 Israel with thirty Leonardo Aermacchi fighters for pilot training. Now it can provide Israel with a new version of the M-346 FA (Fighter Attack), which - Leonardo Industry specified - serves at the same time for training and for "ground attack missions with 500-pound drop ammunition, and0000 precision-guided ammunitions capable of increasing the num0000ber of targets to hit at the same time". The new version of the fighter - Leonardo Industry underlined - is particularly suitable for "missions in urban areas", where heavy fighters "are often used in low-paying missions with high operating costs". The ideal for the next Israeli bombing of Gaza, which can be carried out with "a cost per flight hour that is reduced by up to 80%", and will be very cost-effective ", that is, they will kill many more Palestinians.
