Israeli weapons company receives funding from the EU

"The European Union is giving millions of dollars of “research” funding to a company that is helping Israel evade an international ban on cluster weapons.” “During its 2006 invasion of Lebanon, Israel fired more than a million cluster munitions into the country. “What we did was insane and monstrous, we covered entire towns in cluster bombs,” an Israeli army officer told the Tel Aviv newspaper Haaretz. Those weapons continue to pose a danger to people in Lebanon. Since the 2006 Israeli invasion, according to the US embassy in Beirut, more than 40 people have been killed and 300 injured by unexploded ordnance. Israeli leaders regularly threaten to unleash even greater firepower targeting civilians in a future war on Lebanon."
