While Lockheed’s continued support to Israel is indisputably bad (no thanks to the ppl in US office loving Israel), it’s a bit unfair to narrow down all of their products to just the Israelis. They supply to most of NATO (F-35’s, F-16’s) and a lot of Asian allies (UAE, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan). Also, while yes, they do make missiles, some of those missiles are interceptors, which save lives by shooting down other missiles. Also, there are some Lockheed innovations that you can genuinely get behind. For example, any time you use Google or Apple Maps, you’re using Lockheed satellites (GPS), and they built the Orion spacecraft for the Artemis missions (which is pretty cool). Also, their aerospace work goes beyond the military, for example, the X-59 in collaboration with NASA seeks to return supersonic flight to commercial use. Again, the use of their products in Gaza is completely inexcusable, but at the same time it’s a bit unfair to narrow down a whole company down to one very bad consumer.
