Heckler & Koch, the German weapons manufacturer whose guns are estimated to have killed more than 2 million people since the company was founded in 1949, has quietly adopted the most ethical sales policy of any gunmaker in the world.
The company has pledged no longer to sell arms into warzones or to countries that violate corruption and democracy standards, including Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, or any African countries. [Emphasis Mine]

German investors once again not supplying weapons to Jews, and it only took 70-odd years.
Still missing the point. They are still discriminating against Jews without a valid reason, and calling them “terrorists” by extension.
H&K need to supply real Germans, the weapons they need to defend themselves from the Islamic terrorist that Angle-uh have crammed into their nation.
Sure; I’d never sell any guns to David Clarke just because of his skin color.
I trust you’ll be paying your slavery reparations to the nearest “Black Lives Matter” group.
They’re discriminating without a reason you agree with. Their discrimination has vastly more effect on vastly more mohammedans than it does on Jews.
A reason that I agree with? Since when is Israel a war zone or has ever, as they put it, “violate[d] corruption and democracy standards”??
Nope; this is the same as when European countries look to ban halal, and then swoop shechita under the aegis because of adding “cruelty to animals”. No excuse whatsoever.
Buh bye H&K
Israel?
They also don’t know their guns very well. There’s one semi-auto pistol in their illustration; they’ve misidentified it as a Glock, even though it’s hammer fired, not striker fired.
Curses on my Kindle’s super-PC auto correct. It changed “Glock” twice to “Flock.”
LOL! Seriously? Why do you think they have such a well developed arms industry? Why do you think they built that great concrete wall (that we should imitate on our southern border)?
Hmm...maybe the prices will come down a bit. That would be nice...
Who has Israel declared war on? Nobody that I can see.
And is that an excuse to not sell weapons to them? No, it is not. Keep reaching.
So anyone with a well-developed arms industry is automatically in a “war zone”? Most of Israel is peaceful, in fact.
And border walls? That would define the USA as a “war zone” then.
There is no denying the blatant antisemitism in H&K’s actions.
Right. So that’s why their shell company will be doing the selling.
Israel is the only democracy in all of the countries listed. There will be no H&K firearms purchased in our household.
Good point. Islamic ingenuity is basically limited to rocks, in terms of invention and manufacturing abilities.
It's all about the money...and they may stop a "out the door" sell policy, but the back yard deals will continue, if not increase.
Another reason I don't like H&K or Sig Sauer or damned Glock or any of the European arms makers.
They're full of shit.
If you think Israel is not effectively in a state of war with its ill-behaved neighbors, you're so far out of touch with reality that I can't help you.
