Comme prévu, le Sénat a adopté une résolution de soutien à Israël. De son côté, la New America Foundation a fait le bilan des armes livrées par les Etats-Unis à l’armée israélienne. - War in Gaza, weapons from the USA L’intervention a été largement menée gâce à des armes américaines payées par le dollar du contribuable américain.
Extraits:
- Israel’s intervention in the Gaza Strip has been fueled largely by U.S.-supplied weapons paid for with U.S. tax dollars:
· - During the Bush administration (from FY2002 through FY2009) Israel has received over $21 billion in U.S. security assistance, including $19 billion in direct military aid under the Pentagon’s Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program.
· - The bulk of Israel’s current arsenal is composed of equipment supplied under U.S. assistance programs. For example, Israel has 226 U.S.-supplied F-16 fighter and attack jets, over 700 M-60 tanks, 6,000 armored personnel carriers, and scores of transport planes, attack helicopters, utility and training aircraft, bombs, and tactical missiles of all kinds.
· - During 2008 alone, the United States made over $22 billion in arms sales offers to Israel, including a proposed deal for as many as 75 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters worth up to $15.2 billion; nine C-130J-30 aircraft worth up to $1.9 billion; 4 Littoral combat ships and related equipment worth as much as $1.9 billion; and up to $1.3 billion worth of gasoline and jet aviation fuel.
Israël n'est que la branche armée terroriste des Etats-Unis.Ils l'arment,lui garantissent l'impunité diplomatique par leur véto à l'ONU. On nous parle dans la presse occidental des rockets du Hamas qui proviendrait d'Iran,de Syrie, des jouets face à l'armada sioniste. Que disent-ils des avions de comabats F16, des hélicoptères Appaches, des chars M113 qui assassinent tous les jours des civils? rien car l'hypocrisie est le maître mot........
