Israel Violates Law on U.S. Weapons in Mideast
Frida Berrigan, a senior research associate with the Arms Trade Resource Center at the World Policy Institute in New York, is equally outraged at the misuse by Israel of U.S.-supplied weapons."As Israel jets bombard locations in Gaza, Haifa and Beirut, killing civilians (including as many as seven Canadians vacationing in Aitaroun), it is worth remembering that U.S. law is clear about how U.S.-origin weapons and military systems ought to be used," Berrigan told IPS.
She pointed out that the U.S. Arms Export Control Act clear states that U.S. origin weapons should not be used for "non-defensive purposes."
The funny thing is, later in the article, the author of this article refers to the "'utmost restraint' that world leaders called for at the G8 Summit of the world's most industrialized nations, which just ended in St. Petersburg, Russia". Glad he's on top of the G8 Summit.
Apparently he missed this part of the summit (emphasis added):
G8 asks Hezbollah to end violence
The G8 leaders called on the Hezbollah to initiate a ceasefire and free captured Israeli soldiers.The leaders put aside differences and issued a joint statement at the summit in St. Petersberg, Russia, on Sunday. They stressed Israel's right to self-defense, initially voiced by the US.
