Israel Turns Into God - Renames America "Dumb Ass Land"

http://www.caat.org.uk/information/publications/countries/israel-1002.php

"Israel sells weapons to any regime - military juntas, countries in the 
throes of civil war and known human rights abusers. For example, the 
Guatemalan army received weapons from Israel between 1977 and 1981, a time 
when tens of thousands of people "disappeared"; and Israeli arms were 
shipped to the Medellin drug barons in Colombia. Other major customers in 
the 1970s and 80s included the Galtieri regime in Argentina, Chile, 
Bolivia, El Salvador, Haiti, Nicaragua under Samoza, Noriega's Panama, and 
Sri Lanka - all of which had been accused of gross human rights violations. 
Israel was also apartheid South Africa's leading arms supplier with annual 
two-way sales worth more than $500m in violation of a UN arms embargo.44 In 
fact, selling arms to countries boycotted by other arms exporters has 
helped Israel become a leading arms exporter."

"Israel's role as the "bad boy" of international arms sales was secured in 
the 1985 Irangate affair, when it acted as a proxy for the US by shipping 
US-made arms to Iran, the funds from which were used to back the contra 
rebels in Nicaragua. And, according to Saferworld, UK-based arms brokers 
organised arms transfers from Israel to Rwanda during the genocide in 1994 
despite a UN embargo.45 More recently, Israel has sold air-to-air missiles 
and F-7 fighter upgrades to the military junta in Burma, and in 1997 it 
upgraded Cambodia's MiG-21s and supplied avionics for L-39trainers - a time 
when the country was on the verge of civil war.46 China, Burma and Zambia 
are all Israeli customers despite the fact that the US either embargoes or 
severely restricts its own arms sales to those countries. It was also 
reported that the UN had to ask Israel to stop supplying warring countries 
Ethiopia and Eritrea with arms.47 Pariah state Zimbabwe has also recently 
become a customer with a $10m order for riot control vehicles from the Beit 
Alfa Trailer Company."

"Israel appears to work on the basis that weapons should be sold to anyone 
who wants them."



Israel Tries to Stop U.S.-Jordan Arms Deal

"Israel has asked Congress to delay approval of the deal, which is already 
in advanced stages, while Jewish-American lobbyists and Israeli officials 
press their case with the Bush administration."



And all this time I thought they were just planting trees......

"Ok, ya'll, put your rain boots on and let's get off the bus, stay in 
single file, step over the dead bodies and try not to splash blood on your 
clothes, we're going to plant a tree in Israel the land of Peace...."
