What is the extent of Woodstock's complicity in the slaughter in Gaza? As usual we must stress that very few of Ametek Rotron's weapons contracts happen to reach the public domain. But we do know that Woodstock's largest employer has regularly shipped spare parts directly to the Israeli Defense Ministry and Air Force, and has continued to do so after the current assault on Gaza began. We know that made-in-Woodstock components are essential (often deemed "Critical Application Items" in Pentagon-speak) in:
- all the delivery mechanisms for the bombs (F-15s, F-16s, F-35s, drones, Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, shipboard missile systems . . .)
- the navigation and guidance systems that direct the bombs to their targets
- the communications systems that run the whole battlefield
- military helicopters
- spy drones and spy planes such as the EP-3E
- Abrams, Bradley and Merkava tanks
- the M-113 armored personnel carriers that are prominent enforcers of oppression in the West Bank.
