It’s cool, the Australian Government will say how upset they are about this and go on both buying weapons from, and selling weapons to, Israel.

Not arguing, just want to be able to quote this confidently - can you link a source for this?

I can find some info about Australian-made aviation parts going to other countries as per existing agreements, who use them in aircraft that are then supplied to Israel. Which is absolutely still shit, but I can’t find anything about direct weapon sales to / from Israel

Selling.

Buying.

The selling is difficult to say. We’re probably not literally sending them missiles, but instead components intended to be used as part of weapons. But it’s hard to know precisely, because the government is deliberately opaque in this area.

Damn, yeah hard to give any benefit of the doubt when it’s so opaque like you say. Very concerning
