Massive US Arms Sale to Israel Disclosed
----------------------------------------



Amnesty International has revealed that the United States has sent a
massive new shipment of arms to Israel despite evidence that US weapons
were misused against civilians in the Gaza attacks. Amnesty said a
German cargo ship carrying about 14,000 tons of arms docked in late
March at the Israeli port of Ashdod, about twenty-five miles north of
Gaza. The ship left for Israel on December 20, a week before the start
of Israel’s attacks on Gaza.
