Israel provides Myanmar government more than a 100 tanks and weapons, support oppression of Rohingya Muslims
Israel had been supporting the Myanmar’s army against the Muslims in Myanmar, Human Rights said, “The matter is clearly diplomatic, these weapons are involved in the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya’s Muslims.”
Human Rights clearly declared the support of Myanmar’s army was violence against humanity.
It has been reported that Israel refused to stop supplying arms to Myanmar’s army, even Israeli armed company TAR Ideal Concepts had trained Myanmar’s Special Forces against Muslims.
Human Rights and Burmese official said, “The weapons included more than 100 tanks, and weapons and boats.”
EU and US banned Israeli weapons. They said, “The embargo on countries engaged in or tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom.”
Earlier this August the violation against Burmese’s Muslim increases when the army attacked police posts by killing 400 police officers, 146,000 were starving and terrified.
Additionally agencies reported that dozens of Rohingya’s villages were burned to the ground by the Myanmar’s army.
Last year, Israel declared that Defense Ministry supplied new weapons to Myanmar army. It was written by activists in Israel, “It is surprising that the state of Israel while struggling for continued sanctions against Iran, has no qualms about ignoring the US and EU sanctions against Burma for the most severe crimes being committed there.”
Director of the International State Crime Initiative at London’s Queen Mary University Penny Green said, “It is not surprising that the latest escalation in Myanmar’s genocide of the Rohingya’s has not moved the Israeli state to cease its supply of weapons to Myanmar’s military.”
“Its own record of violence and terror against the Palestinian people of Gaza is clear enough evidence that the Israeli government is unmoved by ethical concerns and human rights,” added Green.
