From a Jewish-values perspective, life is of the highest value and self-defense is legitimate; nearly any other law can be violated for the sake of saving a life, in line with the idea of Pikuach Nefesh (preserving life), derived from Leviticus 18:5.
For pro-Israel investors, a defense screen would not be in line with their value of supporting Israel’s self-defense, as many of these companies supply Israel with armaments that are critical to its self-defense. For example, RTX, formally known as Raytheon, helps build and supply Israel with the Iron Dome, which according to RTX, intercepts more than 1,500 incoming targets with a 90% success rate. Lockheed Martin is also an essential defense supplier to Israel, of which Lockheed’s F-35 aircraft was used by Israel to conduct retaliatory strikes against Iran in 2024.
