Propaganda like “we shouldn’t fund genocidal technologies”?
You can criticize Israel’s genocide, but this article is about something else. OP picked and chose some details out of context to provide a desired narrative, a ‘method’ that is unfortunately widespread here.
Narrative like “we shouldn’t associate with genocidal regime”?
I subscribe to that narrative
That is different than ‘funding genocidal technologies’ that you previously stated though: the grants specifically target civilian (not military) applications, albeit, some technologies may be dual use. It is not like the money is used for murder machines. Nevertheless, disassociating may be a good idea due to these dual use applications.
Some of the money got granted to IBM, who helped the IDF create Where’s daddy, Lavender and other “targeted” bombing systems.
I doubt the IEC accelerator will fund IBM, as it only funds start-ups and SMEs (small businesses?). They might have gotten Horizon Europe funding, but that generally comes with very strict reporting requirements. You should be able to find the project here if that were the case.
That said, we don’t have much business funding IBM, they have sufficient money from their previous ‘ventures’.
Indeed it seems to be some other program under Horyzon.
Still though. The UE removed funding for british researchers during Brexit. That was a bad idea. The UK voted for a political decision, they didn’t commit war crime.
On the other side, we should not have business with israel at all.
They did that because we, unfortunately, chose to stop participating in Horizon Europe. It wasn’t a punishment levelled at the UK by the EU, it was the UK removing itself. We have since rejoined
I cannot remember if this was this specific program but I remember thinking the EU cutting off funding for individual searchers in the netherlands just because they were british. Found that kinda harsh
