Permalink No arms deals with Israel, Aussies say - Video

A demonstration has been held outside of the offices of the Australian Defense Department to protest the Australian government's arms trade with Israel.

A large part of Australia's trade with Israel is made up of contracts to buy or sell military equipment, and the two countries also share military technologies, the Press TV correspondent in Sydney reported during the on Friday. “On the subject of boycotting the arms trade with Israel, Minister for Defense Jason Clare recoiled in horror and said, 'That will cost jobs.' But they are prepared to lose a thousand jobs from their own defense department, civilian jobs, to support the arms trade,” Denis Doherty of the Australian Anti-Bases Campaign told the protesters. In 2010, then Prime Minister Kevin Michael Rudd's government signed a $300 million purchase with the Israeli arms manufacturer Elbit. These purchases were for BMS, or Battle Management Systems, complex electronics that permit integration of modern warfare technology.
