Israel definition of dual-use is adaptive. Very adaptive.
> Concrete used to build attack tunnels - restrict concrete.
> Burning old tires used as smoke mask to attack border - restrict import of used tires.
> Helium balloons used as incendiary devices - restrict Helium supply.
Those are all real examples from the last few years, btw.
Edit: Basic necessities to sustain life - food, water, medicines are allowed. No need for hyperbole.
If you had a bad neighbor, you would do the same.
- ceejayoz 6y agoEverything's dual-use, then, including basic necessities. Food - could be used to feed combatants! Medicine - could be used to treat combatants! Consider the possibility that "you're not allowed to build houses for your families because we won't let the materials in" potentially inflames more terrorism than it stops. edit: Regarding your edit, "Edit: Basic necessities to sustain life - food, water, medicines are allowed." Shelter is considered one of the basic necessities. > If you had a bad neighbor, you would do the same. If I had a bad neighbor, and I walled them in and forbade them from buying concrete and fertilizer, the police would likely intervene in their favor.
- skinkestek 6y agoNow you are just arguing against yourself as Israel does not use deny those types of goods, proving that they try to allow as much as possible.
