„Thai Air has been transporting weapons parts for the #F35 fighter jets from Sydney to Bangkok and then to #NevatimAirBase in USrael using #ElAl (Israeli airline).
These parts are essential to the genocide in Gaza. They keep the planes running. The parts are stored for the program in Australia by #LockheedMartin – who move them around the world on a NEEDED ASAP basis.“
