Since 2000, Israel has sold hundreds of millions of dollars in
arms and combat training to Georgia.
Training also involved officers from Israel's Shin Bet secret service --
which has for decades carried out extrajudicial executions and torture of Palestinians in the occupied territories -- the Israeli police, and the country's major arms companies Elbit and Rafael.
to bad more people don't realize this
Israel has no arms export business at all, they did not sell weapons and arm Georgia, USA did.

Israel has passed Britain to become the world's fourth largest exporter of weapons, Defense Ministry Director-General Pinchas Bucharis said on Sunday.
Israel exported a total $4 billion in defense exports in 2007, Bucharis said. The United States, Russia and France lead the world's list of exporters.
The Defense Ministry held a special session on Sunday to present to arms dealers and security export companies details of a new law set to go into effect at the end of the month regarding the supervision of defense exports.
The new supervision law takes into account considerations of national security, foreign policies and international agreements, Bucharis emphasized during the session.
Defense exports supervisor Eli Pinko called the law revolutionary, adding that it would turn Israel's defense establishment from a recipient of services to world provider and regulator.
Defense Ministry legal adviser Ahaz Ben-Ari said an important issue covered in the new law is Israel's ability to supervise international mediation of defense equipment acquisitions and sales between Israelis and foreign sources abroad.
"Israel will not serve as a refuge for people dealing with security exports that the defense establishment has decided to embargo," Ben-Ari said. He added that violators of the supervision law would now be subject to severe penalties and fines.
