The mayor of Berlin, Germany (Kai Wegner) now allows IAI (Israel Aerospace Industries), Israel's biggest aerospace company, to build their drones of type Heron TP in Berlin.

The drones of type Heron TP are those that fly over Gaza and sound like a lawnmower—that constant, omnipresent roaring that you often hear in videos of Palestinians.

Germany buys these drones from Israel/IAI. Germany doesn't just export weapons to Israel, Germany also imports weapons from Israel.

The two biggest German customers of IAI are:

- Airbus Defence, stationed in Bremen, Germany
- the German army (Bundeswehr)

Airbus operates the drones for Frontex in the Mediterranean Sea.

The German army uses these drones in Afghanistan and to defend the Baltic Sea from Russian aggression, among other use cases.

Thus far, IAI manufactures these drones in Israel and ships them to Germany. The mayor of Berlin just signed off the construction of a so-called "IAI-Berlin Aerospace & Defense Innovation Center" in Berlin-Adlershof. Israelis will now build their drones in Berlin for Germany (Airbus/Frontex and Bundeswehr).

The mayor of Berlin plans to transform the Adlershof neighborhood of Berlin into an Israeli factory of war machinery.

This is part of an immense orchestrated effort. Back in January, I wrote about how Germany's fascist law-breaking minister of the interior, Alexander Dobrindt visited Israel to discuss these kinds of plans.¹

My original² source is now behind a paywall. Here's an alternative³ source.

Dobrindt said in Januar 2026, while visiting Netanyahu in Israel, while Israel was committing genocide:

> Israel is one of our most important partners in the domain of cybersecurity, and with this deal Israel will become our premium partner.

They also discussed the "German Navy Seals" (the GSG-9) to train closely with the Israeli elite unit Yamam.

Dobrindt and Netanyahu discussed many more evil machinations, but Dobrindt kept most of the rest of their discussions secret and only hinted vaguely at "protecting the German population" and wouldn't tell the press.

In December 2025, when multiple German police presidents had visited Israel, Israel had already demanded to crack down on criticism of Israel in social media posts by Germans.⁴ And to crack down on "antisemitism" (that is, anti-genocide protests).

Undurchsichtige Polizei-Allianz

Die Bundesregierung intensiviert die polizeiliche Kooperation mit Israel, lässt jedoch wesentliche Details im Dunkeln. Die Bundespolizei könnte bald Polizisten aus Gaza ausbilden.

Dobrindt und Netanjahu schließen »Cyber- und Sicherheitspakt«

Ein deutsch-israelisches Abkommen soll Ministerien und Behörden zur Bekämpfung von Drohnen, Terrorismus, Cyberangriffen und »Desinformation« vernetzen. Deutsche Spezialkräfte übernehmen zudem eine Führungsrolle in Gaza.

Again, this is part of a huge orchestrated effort.

Not only will Germany now allow Israel/IAI to build their drones in Berlin.

Germany already allows Elbit Systems, the biggest competitor of IAI, to build *their* drones in Ulm, Germany. Among other drones, the drone SkyStriker.

Conversely, Germany's TKMS (ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems) produces submarines and war ships for Israel. The same ships that were/are used for kidnapping the crew of the Global Sumud Flotilla on international waters in the Mediterranean Sea: Sa'ar 6-class corvettes. I've previously written about that here¹.

Israel and pro-Israeli lobby groups have been flying German politicians to Israel en masse over the past years. Israel is spending hundreds of millions of Euros, if not billions of Euros to buy German politicians.²

And similarly to the Filton 4 who damaged Elbit Systems property in the UK,³ the Ulm 5 who destroyed Elbit Systems in Germany are likewise treated as terrorists.⁴

These are some of the weapons manufacturers that produce in Germany for Israel:

- Israel Aerospace Industries
- Elbit Systems
- Airbus Defence
- Rheinmetall
- ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems
- Diehl Defence

And Germans like Alexander Dobrindt (minister of the interior) and Kai Wegner (mayor of Berlin) are some of the worst enablers of Germany's complicity in genocide right now.

Auch Mitglieder und Mandatsträger der Linken nahmen an vom deutsch-israelischen Netzwerk Elnet organisierten und bezahlten Reisen teil. Als Lobbyistenspenden, die die Partei nicht annehmen will, sehen sie diese nicht.
