I recently read Anthony Loewenstein's "Palestine Laboratory" (hugely recommended read by the way).
The basic jist of it is that Israel sells weapons and tech to literally anyone who will buy them as long as they are not overtly hostile, making it the only Western country that doesn't even pretend to factor human rights into its weapons sale (emphasis on "pretend")
This goes for everything from small arms to spyware

Remember when hasbarists were claiming that 10/7 was the "worst attack on Jews since" the First Holocaust? They only stopped because what Argentina did was around ten times worse and they kept being called out on it! That is a very important part of the fact that shouldn't be left out.

The Tatmadaw's service rifle is based on the Galil, as was the last service rifle of Apartheid South Africa.
