Actually Israel exports a significant amount of products to both Muslim and Arab countries including Saudi Arabia, the Gulf States, etc.  Israel did business with Iran prior to the revolution and continued to do so afterwards.  Israel has good relations with some Muslim nations including military ties.  Till recently Israel and Turkey had significant military relations including the sales of military equipment.
 
Israel has been using various joint ventures to leverage it's export of military products for some time.  Consider Euro Spike which is a joint venture with Germany to produce the Spike ATGW.  It looks to be European NATO replacement for Milan, HOT, TOW, etc.

Lets face it, business is business and Israel will sell anything to anyone that has the money, money talks and they don't really care who the weapons are used against, they forcably draft their own children...then wonder why some of them get killed trying to protect the businessmen.....
 
of course using "religion" as a good excuse...

Israel does not sell military equipment to enemy states or to states likely to transfer the technology to enemy states as demonstrated by the recent cancellation by Israel of a sale to Turkey consisting of technology for use in drones.
They care as much or more where their weapons go as do other countries that sell weapons, such as the US, Russia, France, UK, etc.  Many countries in the world have universal draft of their "children."  For example: Austria, Denmark, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan, Russia, Norway, S. Korea, Switzerland, Turkey, etc. Why do you perceive Israel as " forcably" drafting their own children?  Do the other countries with conscription"unforcably" draft their own children?  "Then wonder why some of them get killed to protect the businessmen..."??  What are you talking about? Israelis understand perfectly well why their children do military service and what the risks are in defending the country.  Unlike their enemies, they  are not sending their children to be suicide bombers.
"Religion is a good excuse"...?
I don't believe that Israel  has ever  declared a Holy War against any country.  It is her enemies that use their "religion" to justify their attempts to extermine Israel.
