Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4The graph shown does not depict the reality which is that the main exports and/or re-exports are cut diamonds and armaments.
The reason for this being that Israeli companies have registered manufacturing facilities in the US and the UK, amongst other places, in order that the actual ownership is unclear. These manufacturing facilities sell to governments in order to establish a security relationships that it is hoped are difficult to break, once entered into.
Israeli interests manufacture all types of weaponry to sell to regimes worldwide, including cluster bombs, guns, ammunition, tanks, aircraft, pilotless drones, rockets, chemicals and small arms.
Fair point about aramaments. We've been working hard to try to get the Irish govt. to stop buying Israeli arms, and I completely agree how difficult it is to disembed arms manufacturers. But unlike arms, Israeli diamonds are bought by people rather than governments, and so we can affect their sales through doing publicity events like this

For Dublin can be heaven
With coffee at eleven
And a stroll in Stephen's Green
There's no need to hurry
There's no need to worry
You're a king and the lady's a queen
Grafton Street's a wonderland
There's magic in the air
There's diamonds in the lady's eyes
And gold-dust in her hair
And if you don't believe me
Come and meet me there
In Dublin on a sunny Summer morning
Israeli blood diamonds contaminate the diamond market
Israeli diamonds...blood on your hands
"conflict free" doesn't mean conflict free
Stop the blood diamond-funded war crimes in Palestine
Grafton Street's a wonderland, there's magin in the air ...
