The MK-84 is one of Israel's largest and most destructive bombs. Israel has used 2,000-pound bombs to devastating effect in its strikes on Gaza.
You're viewing a single thread.
For additional context, the MK-84 is manufactured by General Dynamics and the JDAM systems they are usually retrofitted with are always manufactured by Boeing.
Both companies are weapons manufacturers for this genocide. Both are also unionized "good job" companies. It's very important to not be knee-jerk pro-union, but to understand how one's own participation in their country's economy impacts everyone else. Say no to bomb manufacturers. If you work for a weapons manufacturer, change jobs as soon as you can. If you work somewhere that does business with Israel or weapons contractors, consider organizing your workplace against that (you may get fired but Palestine is more important).
