Sale of Uzi manufacturer highlights Israeli hypocrisy towards arms trade
Israeli Military Industries (IMI), the state-owned weapons designer and manufacturer, has been put up for privatisation. If there is one company that encapsulates Israel's hypocritical approach to the arms trade, crime and human rights, it is IMI; and if there is one weapon, it is IMI's "Uzi", the iconic sub-machine gun which for many decades was the company's darkest jewel. The Uzi factory is the latest component of IMI to hit the market, with investors already gobbling up other parts of the IMI estate greedily.
