Continued The New York police previously used technology made in Israel* to eat; In 2014, the New York Police Department signed a 5-year deal worth $800,000 with Elbit Systems, one of the largest private arms companies in Israel, which is responsible for empowering the IDF with at least 70% of its UAV fleet. This deal is progressing under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who ran as a candidate against Israel, pledged to sever the city's ties with Israel, accused Israel of g*killing, and even said he would arrest Netanyahu. If Mamdanis's anti-Israel stance was more than electoral theater, the NYPD wouldn't have finalized an exclusive source agreement with Know, a company accused of selling surveillance software to Myanmar's military junta before it staged a coup. The deal reveals the limits of his politics: anti-Israel rhetoric abroad, complicity with its security industry at home.
