Criticism of Israel

Criticism of Israel is a wide and contentious subject. We hope to cover as many bases as possible and provide a valid distinction between valid and invalid criticism of Israel.

Valid Criticism of Israel

Arms Trade

From 2015 to 2019, Israel was the 8th largest exporter of weapons in the world, producing 3% of all weapons in the world, and the industry had almost doubled, growing by 77% in that time. In 2014, Israel was the greatest exporter of weapons per capita in the world, making $97 from the weapons industry per person.

Assassinations and Kidnappings

Main Article: List of Israeli Assassinations and Kidnappings

Israeli Intelligence Agencies have been confirmed to have committed multiple assassinations and kidnappings of people in other countries, notably Syria, France and Lebanon. It is worth noting many of these people are escaped Nazis, such as Adolf Eichmann, or members of Al-Qaeda, both of which are groups which should be defeated.

Nuclear Weapons

Israel is believed to conceal its production and storage of nuclear weapons. The most notable controversy around this is the Vela Incident.
