While the French government has declared to the media that it could support Israel in its war against Iran, the reality is quite different.
Overnight, the organizers of the Paris Air Show, acting on behalf of the French government, herded Israeli exhibitors behind a black curtain.
Here are images of the UVision, Elbit, Rafael, and IAI Aerospace stands.
Who can believe this wasn't planned long in advance?

this is a perfect demonstration of the real point of contention here- Israel's weapons defending Israelis in Israel = defensive. Israel's weapons in Tehran = offensive. don't blur the difference.
Israeli Industries announces to its customers and partners that, given the discriminatory decision of the French government blocking our participation in the Paris Air Show, we have decided to showcase our capabilities in a demonstration over Tehran.
You are invited to attend.
but here's the thing- there's a difference between defensive and offensive weapons. all weapons SHOULD be ultimately used for the purpose of defense, but offensive weapons CAN be used for indefensible attacks.
Israel calls the decision by France to shut down the 4 main Israeli stands at the Paris Airshow #ArmsExpo as outrageous.
Elbit Systems, Rafael, IAI and Uvision all refused to remove some weapons from display, saying they were defensive weapons.
It is an ARMS EXHIBITION
France shut down the four main Israeli company stands at the Paris Airshow for refusing to remove offensive weapons from display, in a move condemned by Israel https://t.co/RdEh9iHQMw

לכאורה, שבירת שיא של כל הזמנים בייצוא נשק היא מאורע משמח. אלא שמאחורי החגיגות והמיליארדים שנשפכים מסתתרות שאלות עמוקות יותר: מדוע אנחנו מוכרים את אמצעי הלחימה כחול-לבן ללקוחות כה מפוקפקים? והאם באמת אנחנו רוצים לחיות על החרב ולהתפרנס ממנה עד קץ כל בשר?
