Boeing
Profile
Boeing is well known for making passenger jets, but in reality, over half of its sales are weapons and military aircraft and submarines, notably to Israel. Boeing GBU-39 and GBU-31 Small Diameter Bombs together with Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) kits for guided "smart" bombs are routinely used to destroy residential buildings and target civilians; Boeing Harpoon missile systems are used to enforce Israel's illegal naval blockade of the Gaza Strip; while Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopters, equipped with Boeing Hellfire air-to-ground missiles, are used by the Israeli military for assaults on Gaza. The company has also supplied Russia and Saudi Arabia, helping those countries fight their wars on Ukraine and Yemen respectively.
Two of Boeing’s 737 Max passenger planes crashed in a five-month-period between 2018 and 2019 – one in Indonesia and one in Ethiopia – killing a total of 346 people that were on board. The two crashes have been linked to Boeing software that was installed without informing the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and without proper training for the pilots that flew the planes. The 737 Max was subsequently grounded by multiple countries and the company paid a US$2.5 billion fine for lying to the FAA about the safety of the plane.
