US Resupplies Israel with More Munitions to Commit Massacres in Gaza

Once again, the United States proves that it is a partner in the crimes committed against humanity by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza.

A US defense official said on Thursday that Washington has allowed the Zionist entity to tap a local US arms stockpile in the past week to resupply it with grenades and mortar rounds.

The munitions were located inside the Zionist entity as part of a program managed by the US military and called War Reserves Stock Allies-Israel (WRSA-I), which stores munitions locally for US use that Israel can also access in emergency situations.

However, Tel Aviv did not cite an emergency when it made its latest request about 10 days ago, the defense official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The United States allowed Israel to access the strategic stockpile anyway to resupply itself with 40mm grenades and 120mm mortar rounds to deplete older stocks that would eventually need to be refreshed.

“They didn’t ask for it from there but we gave it to them so we could rotate our stocks,” the official said.

Additional Israeli requests for U.S.-manufactured ammunition were also being processed in the United States, the official said, without offering further details on quantities or costs of ammunition already supplied or requested.

The Israeli embassy in Washington declined comment about the resupply request, including whether it asked for the ammunition because of its offensive in Gaza.

  1. Deja Vu. War is good for the US economy (Brookings Inst.). The US is a merchant of death. It’s profits over lives for the weapons manufacturers

    • I don’t rely on Brookings’ economic analysis.

      A few may, in fact, profit from killing. However, the US economy as a whole loses.

  2. And by allowing the state of Israel to be provided with new(!) weapons at the moment the state of Israel is involved in the longest war in and with Gaza, the United States of America, as a nation and as the Administration (aka government), in the name of the People of America and thus also the People of America, are complicit to, in and with the genocide committed by the state of Israel in the Occupied Territories, especially the Gaza Strip!

    The bombardments were causing massacres but were massacres end on a certain point and moment, the present situation of bombardments are structural, intentional, orchestrated, planned and carried out indiscriminately, and that makes it genocide!

    As the state of Israel has experience with genocide in the past, one can not dispute the fact that the leaders of the state of Israel were and are aware on and about the definitions of genocide, and as the population of the state of Israel is also well aware of the definitions of genocide, it are not only the leaders of the state of Israel committing genocide, it is the majority of Israeli citizens that is in support and actively participating in the genocide of women, children, elderly and the wounded in the Gaza Strip!

    The world and especially the leaders of the so-called free world, including but not limited to the President of the United States of America, know of this ongoing genocide, and refuse to intervene!
    Not because they are unable to intervene, they refuse to intervene because they are indifferent the fate of the Palestinian People, and are supportive of the state of Israel by supplying and re-supplying weapons used in this genocide!

    We, the People of the Free World must stand up to our own governments, demand from the leaders of our countries to and intervene so that the genocide stops, and stop supplying the state of Israel with weapons and support!

    We, the People of the World must end this genocide, by refusing to buy goods and material from the state of Israel and the Occupied Territories, demand from companies doing business with the state of Israel to end such businesses and co-operations, and ensure that those who continue doing business with the state of Israel are excluded from local and national participations in our own countries!

    I call upon everyone with a conscience, a heart and brains that function to stand up, and end this genocide!
    This genocide is different from that what happened in Africa, it is not a genocide with machetes, it is a genocide by technically high developed country with high-tech weaponry against civilians with stones and amateur rockets, defenseless people who are trapped in a place were they can not get away from to seek safety, were people are starving, are dying due to lack of water, lack of medications and above all, lack of freedom to live a peaceful live!

    If we do nothing, we the People of the World will become accountable too, and responsible for this genocide!

    ACT NOW! BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
