‘Israel’ Continues To Arm Burma Military amid Ongoing Crackdown against Rohingya
Local Editor
The Zionist entity is under fire from human rights groups for the continued sale of weaponry to the Burmese junta after intensified violence against the country's Rohingya Muslim minority.
More than 100 tanks, as well as boats and light weapons, have been sold to the Burmese government by ‘Israeli' arms companies, investigations by several rights watchdogs have found.
One company, TAR Ideal Concepts, has also trained Burmese Special Forces in northern Rakhine state, where much of the violence is taking place, posting pictures on their website of its staff teaching combat tactics and how to handle weapons.
An army crackdown triggered by an attack on 25 August by Rohingya insurgents on Burma security forces has triggered a major humanitarian crisis. At least 400 people have been killed and nearly 125,000 Rohingya have fled to neighboring Bangladesh.
In March, the ‘Israeli' war ministry defended sales.
However, according to Jewish activist Ofer Neiman, "successive ‘Israeli' governments have been selling arms to the military dictatorship in Burma for years."
"This policy is strongly related to ‘Israel's' oppression and dispossession of the Palestinian people. Weapons used against the Palestinians are being sold as 'field-tested' to some of the worst regimes on the planet."
Graphic photo and video from the region show beheaded children and entire villages burnt to the ground by military and paramilitary forces.
