encouraged when and where pos-
` -:9 sible. In practice this meant that
Israel sold to countries that were
usually geographically distant but
diplomatically close. And the
United States generally did not
have reservations about these
deals on political, trade or mili-
tary grounds.
Since the quality is good, the
demand is constant and the sup-
ply is readily available, the
•
milative result has been that the
world is full of Israeli military ex-
ports — weapons and systems as
well as services in the form of Is-
raeli military experts who could
provide training and know-how
to help the purchasers use the
stuff they buy.
- Former Israeli military per-
sonnel are as much an export as
•
the hardware they teach their
•
clients to use.
The countless little wars, in-
surrections, tribal conflicts and
internal upheavals that have
racked Africa, Southeast Asia and
Latin America over recent
decades have provided ample op-
portunity to make sales — and
enemies.
People tend not to like getting
, Th shot at and bombed, and they ex
/- tend their dislike to those who
provide the guns and training. As
in most things, Israel gets dis
proportionate exposure, but in the
arms business it also has dispro-
portionate involvement.
Thus for Israel to try and dis-
suade any country not to sell arms
is somewhat disingenuous. In-
deed, it is nothing less than hy-p-
\_i ocritical. However, in the context
/- of black South Africa, the
hypocrisy becomes extreme. Af-
ter all, it was Israel, which, for a
variety of reasons, formed a de
facto affiance with the white
apartheid regime in South Africa,
despite the fact that the founders
and leaders of this regime were
open and enthusiastic supporters
of the Nazis in World War II and
despite the fascist and racist na-
ture of their regime for the 40-odd
years that they ran the country.
The victims of this cooperation
were, of course, Mr. Mandela and
his colleagues and supporters. A
more vindictive man than Mr.
Mandela might be tempted to go
out of his way to get back at Is-
rael; fortunately for us, and in fact
for South Africa as a whole, Man-
- dela is not that kind of person.
But given the Israeli record in
South Africa and in Africa as a
whole, it requires an above-aver-
age dose of chutzpa to urge him
not to sell arms to Syria.
There is a valid objection for not
starting on the slippery slope of
indiscriminate arms sales, and for
not selling weapons to problem-
atic countries like Syria. South
Africa has little to gain from do-
ing so, beyond the money in-
volved. But the Israeli
government is hardly well-placed
to make this case. El
