How curious then, that Israel itself would be found to be in violation of U.S. sanctions law. Not once, not twice, but tens of times over the years. But did we hear about this latest incident from the NY Times or Washington Post? Did the administration hold a press conference to announce the Israeli violation as they would if it were a Pakistani, North Korean or Chinese company? Are you kidding. We had to learn about it in the pages of an obscure Greek media outlet, which reported that an Israeli arms dealer sent spare parts for Iranian F-4 Phantom jets to Iran via Greece.
The difference between Israel and the others, is that the former is the secretly sanctioned sanction buster, whereas the others aren't. It's all about money and who benefits. Israel was doing this during Iran Contra times. Nothings changed.
I would suggest someone looks to see if Israel is resupplied by the US with the sold equipment? That's what's happened before.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
