"Israel receives billions of dollars in military aid from the US each year, much of it spent on American weaponry which US law says must only be used in self-defence.

But experts say there is little chance of cuts in aid to Israel despite its military operation in Gaza.

Al Jazeera's Nick Spicer reports." [Al Jazeera]

Good find. I didn't know about the self-defense clause for USA's foreign aid to Israel.

I would say that this video does not belong in the Islam channel, as there is no mention of it in the video. Islam is related to the conflict, but not the be-all end-all reason for it.

I agree. I just figured someone else would assign it, so ...

Israel laying an 18 month long siege of Gaza has provoked enough of a military (not terrorist) response from Hamas to be able to send in the F16s and bomb the shit out of the Palestinians, whist keeping their American funding.

This is exactly the reason I was sickened when Obama was in Israel giving speeches about fighting terrorism.

There have been huge pro-palestinan protests and demos in the UK in the last week, I have yet to see a single one of them be reported on any of the TV news channels.

There will be no peace until it is profitable for the politicians. That means an overwhelming demand by the common citizens on all sides of the conflict, and an ability to resist the rhetoric of politicians who want the people riled up. This is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes, if ever.
