Israel secured supplies of ammunition from the Pentagon last month without the approval of the White House or the State Department



Washington (AFP) - Israel secured supplies of ammunition from the Pentagon last month without the approval of the White House or the State Department, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Since officials there were caught off guard as they tried to restrain Israel's campaign in Gaza, the administration of President Barack Obama has tightened controls on arms shipments to Israel, the newspaper said, quoting US and Israeli officials.

But the case illustrated that the White House and the State Department have little influence over the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the paper said, quoting officials from both countries.

The Journal said that US officials, rather than play their traditional role as mediators, have now been reduced to bystanders as Israeli forces and Hamas battle it out.

  1. Who ever at the pentagon did this, is guilty of any number life sentence crimes. But nothing will happen because Israel runs this f'ing country.

    If Obama has ANY spine whatsoever, he needs to act accordingly. For one, send Nut and Yahoo to the ICC where he belongs. He needs to be swinging from a rope.

  2. Straight out looting. No euphemism will cover this. What else have these Jews helped themselves to that we don't know about - tip of the proverbial iceberg, and as importantly, not a note of concern from the American Jewry's side ?? This may have been the trigger for the belated description of Netanyahu by a unnamed Admin official as 'chicken sh!t', because they felt humiliated when they discovered that this had happened. Was it like that ?
