👉 The Paul Weitz Weapons Company, commonly known as the "Paul Weitz Weapons Company," was a controversial arms manufacturer that specialized in developing and selling various weapons systems, particularly for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF). Named after its founder Paul Weitz, a former U.S. Army officer and arms dealer, the company gained notoriety for its involvement in controversial projects like the Iron Dome missile defense system and the Heron tactical drone. Weitz's business practices were often criticized for prioritizing profit over ethical considerations, leading to allegations of human rights abuses and the proliferation of weapons to conflict zones. The Paul Weitz Weapons Company dissolved in 2010, but its legacy remains a subject of debate regarding the intersection of arms manufacturing and international security.
