Germany plans to subsidize an Israeli procurement of naval corvettes.

The German government said it would contribute to the purchase of four corvettes for the Israel Navy. The government said the subsidy for Israel was approved by the parliament in Berlin.

“The contract could be completed by the end of the year,” German government spokesman Steffen Seibert said.

In a statement on Dec. 15, Seibert did not specify the size of the German subsidy. He said Israel reached an agreement to purchase the corvettes, manufactured by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, in November 2014.

The German newspaper Bild am Sonntag reported that the government decided to contribute 115 million euro for the Israeli purchase, estimated at 1 billion euro. The newspaper, citing government memorandums, said the Israel Navy would use the warships, identified as the Meko A-100, to secure its interests in the eastern Mediterranean.

Germany has become the leading supplier to the Israel Navy. In 2013, Germany helped finance the Israeli purchase of three additional Dolphin diesel-electric submarines, also produced by ThyssenKrupp.

Germany is a country that cries foul about human rights abuses regarding other nations when intending to sell weapons. Yet, here they are supplying lethal weapons to a nation that uses them indiscriminately against actual innocent human beings. Talk about hypocrisy and double standards.I'm very fast losing any respect for this nation.

We did not become so rich by earning your respect, but with hard money.

Yes, selective blood earnings. In this case even subsidized earnings. Sell advanced weapons to a nation that kills innocent women and children in broad daylight, Yet, cry about human rights abuses regarding other nations. Talks about hard money... Rich? Yes, material wise perhaps. You're morally bankrupt. You have no right to point fingers at others.

you are just sad, that we dont sell to you.

Sad? We don't care about Germany. It's a country on the other side of the ocean. We have China and other suppliers who easily fulfill our defence needs and requirements. That too without the fear of sanctions. Besides, even if we wanted to buy your stuff we couldn't afford it. There is no reason for us to be sad.

However, I will question German double standards. This is a nation that shouts from the rooftops about human rights abuses. Yet, here it is making hypocritical exceptions.
