    On behalf of many of my normal countrymen, I am sorry for the embarrasingly stupid and despicable behavior of my government.

    Which, according to the very report that voluntarily revealed this, does not include any weapons or munitions btw.

      The exact nature of the goods remains unclear. The ministry’s response lists eight categories, including rockets, torpedoes, warships and naval equipment. But as the exports are not classified as weapons of war and the total value is relatively small, the shipments likely involve accessories or equipment.

      I wouldn’t call sending rockets and warships as “no weapons” just because the government says they’re not.

        And what rocket or torpedo would you get for 2.5 million? Deliberately using singular here, because that’s about 5 IRIS-Ts or 2 Taurus missiles, which seems like a very unlikely order. Even more so when considering that the government went on record claiming that’s not the case. Would you lie for such a tiny order?

        If they did a delivery like that every week, I’d be suspicious

          That’s just it, I don’t know. And the government is being deliberately vague instead of just saying what they are shipping to Israel, or sending auxiliary weapons that are still being used in direct combat.

          I pulled that quote because I want to emphasize that it is not as transparent as your original comment is making it seem.
