"To a large extent, Israel`s military offensive in Gaza was carried out with weapons, munitions and military equipment supplied by the U.S.A. and paid for with U.S. taxpayers` money," Malcolm Smart, Amnesty`s Middle East director, said in the report.
He called on the United States to immediately suspend military aid to Israel.
The United States is to provide $30 billion in military aid to Israel under a 10-year agreement that runs till 2017 -- a 25-percent increase compared with the period preceding the Bush administration, Amnesty said.

Israeli histrionics, particularly as amplified and distorted through her domestic and American Christian Zionist fanatical exponents, diverting attention from and suppressing resistance to her land piracy against her neighbours, are a subterfuge, concealing the root cause of the conflict. |
