That's a really hard headline to parse.
I just don't understand Canada would buy missiles from Israel that have already been used.
I hear they make really cool paperweights.
Is that good?
Relevant quote from article...
“The Israeli military is currently using Rafael’s Spike missiles to target people inside buildings in the Gaza Strip right now. The same weapons that Canada is buying are being advertised as ‘battle tested’ against Palestinians.”
“For Canada to be choosing to purchase these weapons from Rafael is a direct endorsement and a direct financial support to the Israeli military’s devastation and carnage in Gaza,” Small added.
Genociding fish in a barrel hardly counts as battle tested
From what it seems, no. This means they have more than enough missiles to sell some, even though they are in the middle of a "war" (genocide). They will also most likely not use the funds for anything good.
I pretty much completely agree with the rest of your comment, but I don't think we have a delivery date. Rafael might be hedging that domestic demand will be down by the time these are due.
Next time israel is going to commit Genocide Canada will have a stockpile of rockets to send them so they won't run out.
