Israel’s wall experts helping U.S. at Mexican border

Editor: There was a reason why Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel was so enthusiastic about the UN speech made by his mentor U.S. President Donald Trump. The two of them are now ganging up on Mexico’s migrants into the States.

Israel Aerospace Industries subsidiary Elta North America has been awarded a contract worth up to $500,000 to build prototypes for the wall on the Mexico/U.S. border, while the U.S. subsidiary of the Israeli security and surveillance company Elbit Systems has received its third contract to build the U.S. border wall and to militarize the border area.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security awarded Elbit Systems a $145-million contract to erect and maintain surveillance towers along the Arizona/Sonora (Mexico) border.

Already in 2006, Elbit had been subcontracted by Boeing to provide cameras and radar systems for the DHS’s Strategic Border Initiative.

Earlier this month, Elbit announced a contract to deliver even more radar and surveillance towers to militarize the Mexico-U.S. border area, boasting it offers “field-proven architecture” tested on Palestinians.

Ah, yes, the long-suffering Palestinians, wanting some of the stolen land back from the Israelis who have built a wall over 700 kilometre long to keep the Palestinians out, in some cases more than 24 feet high, with lookout towers, manned 24/7 by gun-toting soldiers.

Obviously, if the United States is determined to keep out the Mexicans, it can do no worse than hire the world’s experts at wall-building and surveillance systems.
