How is Israel's arms industry profiting from the war on Gaza? | The Stream


Despite the country’s relatively small size, Israel is one of the world’s largest weapons exporters. In 2022, its arms sales reached $12.5bn, a 20 percent increase over the previous year.
Praised for their innovation, Israeli manufacturers proudly advertise their “battle-tested” products but what is the cost to the test subjects, the…

  1. I see.
    Sales of high tech weaponry with fielding testing. Proof of product, for customers.

    Project Paper Clip, Zionism.
    Ethiopian Jews, Depo Provera.
    King David Hotel, 1946.
    Hannibal Directive.

  2. Why then American .UK .Germany Australia and many other countries send weapons to Israel to fight with Palestinian forces ?
    October 7 was happened because Israeli PM want it to occupy Gaza and stooped Palestinian answer his call and now paying price innocent civilians.

  3. Perhaps if Qatar/Iran based terrorists didn't repeatedly attack the sovereign nation of Israel, Israel wouldn't have had to amass such a strong military industry. And of course, when forced to use their weapons, data is collected to improve such weapons. While Israel has become a technological giant, Arab companies can only dream to emulate this extremely advanced country.

  4. Israel has all the right to retaliate and defend itself no matter the cost. US, USSR and UK and other Allied forces never took in consideration the lives of German civilians during their war with Hitler. Israel is no obligation to delve with drama. Im not from Israel but if my country is attacked by another who murdered and kidnapped civilians, my government has all the right to retaliate beyond your so called collective punishment in order that such attack will never happen again.

  5. This was an incredibly frustrating conversation. It felt like you had Mike the Situation on and was talking about Gym, Tan, Laundry. He had no knowledge of the history and no real understanding of the current circumstances. He was regurgitating talking points with no facts at all and was hostile. He was an unmatched terrible debater. Please don’t have anyone else on like him. He wanted to vent and say it’s not fair so many people were mad at Israel. That could have been accomplished in a tweet.

  6. What about Al Jazeera making a program on Iran's arms industry being sold or donated to Russia, Siria, Lebanon, terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbolla, Huties in Yemen, etc?

  7. Not only the palestinians have rights, Israel has also the right to defend itself. The IDF is the most moral and ethic world army, with or without your recognition. Palestinians suffer because of their violent policies against Israel since its creation, the adoption of terror and their allways bad political decisions. I don't want to think how the world will look if the palestinians had the technological expertise and knowledge that Israel has. For sure that no jew was alive in this planet today. Please bring experts to your next debate and not just young antisemites.

  8. AI does not commit mistakes, Hamas just hides behind palestinian civilians and intentionallly exposes them to danger since this is exactly what they want to achieve, as many victims as possible so that TV programs like yours will be able to blame Israel of "genocide". In other worlds you are playing to the hands of Hamas and actively supporting terror!!!!

  9. Arabs attack then blame Israel of using them as targets to test their new weapons. Where is the problem?. Doesn't Israel have the right of self defense? Don't provoke Israel and it will have no reason to produce new weapons. It is completely legitime to produce weapons to defend a country. Arabs buy and produce attack weapons (missiles, rockets, drones) while Israel mostly produce defense weapon like Iron Dome, etc. This fact shows clearly which side has aggresive intentions and which side defends itself.

  11. Your speakers assume that Israel wanted this war. What precipitated it was the heinous 7th October massacre by Hamas (260 ingenuous music festival revelers
 ), the hostage taking even a baby.

    130 countries, as you put a number to it, is involved in military equipment sales (US, Germany, France, Russia, China 
..). So now we target Israel, the worst perpetrator of them all!

    The activist ranting in the UK! Why is it in the Yemeni conflict with over 377,000 civilians, Syrian conflict > 300,000 civilians, Iran/Iraq war > 275,000 civilians all killed. Yet there were no mass demonstrations over these horrendous killings in the US, Australia, UK, Europe even in Arab countries. When Arabs kill Arabs it is just business as usual. Yet in self-defense as collateral damage Palestinians are killed by Israel it is genocide.
