Report Uncovers A Continuous, Massive Pipeline of Canadian Weapons Flowing Directly To Israel
The rhetoric in mainstream media, only after so much genocide has occurred in Gaza, was to condemn Israel for its actions after the October 7th attack that occurred in Israel. Condemnation and international calls for a ceasefire from countries like Canada only came well after Israel continued to obliterate Gaza. Even after the narrative shifted, and Canada insisted that it had restricted arms exports to Israel, it appears this may not have been true at all.
A July 2025 recent report by Arms Embargo Now uncovered the following:
- 47 shipments with detailed commercial shipping records uncovered from manufacturers in Canada selling military-related components to Israeli weapons companies between October 2023 and July 2025;
- 421,070 bullets exported to Israel since the Gaza assault began, including one shipment in April 2025 alone containing 175,000 bullets;
- Three shipments of cartridges from a General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS) facility in Repentigny, Quebec, including one that occurred nine days after the then-Foreign Affairs Minister publicly pledged that Canada would block munitions exports from the same Quebec company to the Israeli military;
- 391 shipments including bullets, military equipment, weapons parts, aircraft components, and communication devices exported from Canada to Israel between October 2023 and June 2025, according to data from the Israeli Tax Authority (ITA) – representing only a portion of total exports;
- Shipments from seven Canadian cities destined primarily for Israel’s largest weapons company Elbit Systems and its subsidiaries, along with other Israeli defence firms including Elta Systems, WaldyTech, Snunit Aviation and NIRON Systems;
- Around 100 international flights transporting Canadian components to Israel – 64 of them commercial passenger flights where military cargo was loaded beneath civilian travelers on routes through Frankfurt, Paris, New York, Abu Dhabi, and New Delhi.
The flow of military goods between Canada and Israel operates through three distinct avenues, creating a multi-faceted trade relationship. The first channel involves direct commercial exports from Canadian companies to Israel. The second channel consists of indirect exports where Canadian arms are shipped to Israel through transfers via the United States, employing a major loophole exempting them from Canada’s permitting requirements, Canada’s human rights risk assessment regime, and any measure of transparency.
Finally, Canada also imports Israeli military technology and hardware, including the purchase of weapons that have been deployed against Palestinians during the current bombardment of Gaza, and are in turn marketed to international customers like the Government of Canada as “battle-tested” and “combat-proven.”
That said, existing Canadian PM Mark Carney still has an arrest call out for Netanyahu.

elow are a couple of articles we have published in the past regarding the October 2023 attacks, which may give you a brief idea of where we are coming from. The third one you see is a well-written article by Dr Madhava Setty that offers profound insight.
There should be coordinated protests at these weapons manufacturers. There was one staged here in the Northeast in a rural area - no one knew this place was making weapons and selling them to Isreal. It’s outrageous this has gone unchecked.
So much more could be achieved if peace reigned around the world. Man is a failed species in my opinion.
