"Their licensing exports records for weapons is something that is oddly absent when you take into account how much they are producing vs how much they are telling you about. Considering we are looking at around $13.1 billion from last year, I would hope their would be adequate documentation and transparency... but there isnt"

Well, this is because Israel isn't some geopolitical neophyte, it's subsequent governments have been successfully operating to carve out the single best possible outcome for themselves for over 75 year now. Hidden weapons contracts are evidently part of the policies to achieve this goal.

Well, this is where I wish to assume the nose fucker role and see where their weapons are going... which brings us back to how Israel have a different set of rules (or lack of) compared to most countries. I can agree and understand some thing must remain clandestine for security reasons... but we are talking a massive percentage when it comes to Israel.

At the end of the day, this is not exactly public knowledge... or at the bare minimum is not something made obvious to the public. It comes off as a bit disingenuous that we have groups labelled as terrorists when we have Israel supplying possibly up to 40% of their weapons without showing where they are going.
