I never said they didn’t take control, and they are radicals, I hear that descriptor attached to them all the time. Also, this specific unit was something I used to show that Australia has long term weapons sales desires with an apartheid state. When a government takes foreign aid, rather than distribute it, it is often said that they appropriated it, or stole it, or high-jacked it, whatever. Even beyond that, it wasn’t actual weapons, literally anything can be used as a weapon, so we either say literally everything going to a place is a weapons sales/trade/donation, or we reserve that name for things built specifically to be weapons.
Also, do not gloss over how colonized people often end up having to rely on radical elements of their population to fight against the colonizers. Do not gloss over the maneuvers bibi, and the israeli government, performed to make sure hamas stays in power, because they use them as a PR shield, like their soldiers record themselves using palestinians as bullet shields. Israel is the colonizing force here, the terrorist guerrilla government of hamas is a result of reaction to this colonization.
This conversation is pointless. You aren’t going to budge on anything, and I’m not going to take hearsay seriously. This is pretty off-topic as it is.
Bottom line is this:
Your initial claim that Australia is selling weapons to Israel was verifiably false.
Australia is not selling those weapon systems to Israel just yet; they are being trialled. No Australian weapon is used in Gaza. The Australian government has told the Israeli government not to use Australian weapons in Gaza.

Nothing else needs to be said on the matter
