The Israeli Links To Spain's Train Crash - MORE Firms To Be Cut Out?

Right, so Spain has decided to cut ties with Israeli military technology. But when they start considering what they would have to cut off, the announcement has turned out to be quite pricey for them. This is the bigger issue behind the recent Spanish train-crash saga. The supply chain in Spain goes beyond the railway, including planes, missiles, and firms like PAP Tecnos, the Spanish affiliate of Israeli arms manufacturer Rafael. Spain's cabinet last December admitted that some of the most crucial Israeli components had no immediate alternative. So the suppliers have something quite a bit more useful than just a friendly minister. They've actually become quite difficult to remove. Perhaps they should change their logo to a limpet. Rail workers from trade union CGT’s Galicia branch had already demanded that Renfe cancel its security contract with I-SEC, part of the Israeli-linked ICTS group. Their argument was why should a Spanish public railway keep paying a company with those ties while Israel carries out its genocide in Gaza?
