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
- 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.[1] In 2014, Israel was the greatest exporter of weapons per capita in the world, making $97 from the weapons industry per person.[2]
- Israel conceals its production and storage of nuclear weapons. Two notable controversies around this are the Vela Incident and the life of Mordechai Vanunu.
