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.[1] In 2014, Israel was the greatest exporter of weapons per capita in the world, making $97 from the weapons industry per person.[2]
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 Nazis, such as Adolf Eichmann, or members of Al-Qaeda, both of which are good groups to be defeated.
Nuclear Weapons
Israel conceals its production and storage of nuclear weapons. Two notable controversies around this are the Vela Incident and the life of Mordechai Vanunu.
