The Israeli regime has continued to sell advanced weaponry worth tens of millions of dollars to Myanmar even after a deadly government-sanctioned military campaign against Rohingya civilians in the Southeast Asian country came to light, an Israeli report has revealed.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tIsraeli daily Haaretz reported on Monday that Tel Aviv supplied \u201cSuper-Dvora MK III\u201d navy boats to Myanmar as recently as April, \u201cwhen the Myanmar… army was already being accused of war crimes,\u201d presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe report said pictures of the boats released by the Myanmarese army also revealed the weapons that had been installed on the vessels. \u201cThere\u2019s a remote weapon station, made by Israeli Elbit Systems, which allows the firing of a heavy machine gun or cannon of up to 30 millimeters.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe patrol boats, the report said, \u201cAre only part of a larger transaction signed between Israel and Myanmar. The Ramta division of Israel Aerospace Industries, which manufactures the Super Dvora, is meant to transfer at least two more boats to the local military.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt cited \u201csources in the Israeli weapons industry\u201d as saying that the value of the arms deal \u201cis estimated at tens of millions of dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMyanmar, a Buddhist-majority country, has been accused by the United Nations of engaging in \u2018textbook ethnic cleansing\u2019 of the minority Rohingya Muslims.<\/p>\n

\n\tEven before horrific violence by military soldiers and Buddhist mobs forced hundreds of thousands of the Rohingya fleeing into neighboring Bangladesh, the Muslims already constituted a small percentage of Myanmar\u2019s population and were only concentrated in a western state, Rakhine.<\/p>\n

\n\tThat state has been under military siege since late last year. Access is denied to journalists and rights activists, but the Muslims who have managed to flee to Bangladesh have told of horrendous violence being carried out in Rakhine. They say soldiers have been killing and raping the Muslims and have even been shooting at fleeing civilians, including women and children, at random.<\/p>\n

\n\tMedics attending to the Muslims who arrive in Bangladesh have confirmed that injuries on their bodies correspond to their accounts of violence in Myanmar.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Haaretz report said Myanmar has \u2018in the past\u2019 purchased Israeli air-to-air missiles and cannons as well.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAn Israeli company, TAR Ideal Concepts, has noted on its website that it has trained Myanmar military forces. Now the site makes no specific reference to Myanmar, referring only to Asia,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

\n\tAttempts to expose the Israeli military ties to Myanmar by Attorney Eitay Mack, \u201cwho is active in increasing transparency of Israeli arms exports to countries that violate human rights, have so far been unsuccessful,\u201d the report said. \u201cLast month the High Court of Justice issued a ruling in response to a petition he filed with other human rights activists against the sales, but the ruling was kept classified\u201d at the Israeli regime\u2019s request.<\/p>\n

\n\tRohingya Muslims, recognized by the UN as the world\u2019s most persecuted minority group, are denied Myanmarese citizenship as the country\u2019s leadership brands them illegal \u2018Bangladeshi immigrants.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile some reports have said that Myanmar\u2019s de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, may not have an influence over the military leaders to stop the violence, she has adopted a stance that most resembles theirs. A Nobel Peace Prize winner, she has taken almost no meaningful action to end the abuses against the Rohingya.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
