Vopn á vopn ofan í stað friðar

Talar um frið en dælir vopnun til barnadrápa á Gasa

Hvenær ætla Íslensk stjórnvöld að mótmæla og fordæma vopnasendingar  Biden stjórnarinnar.

Það eru í raun Stjórn Biden sem er ábyrg fyrir barnadrápunum á Gaza.

 

Suður Afríka ákærir nú Ísrael fyrir Alþjóðamannréttinda dómstóli Sameinuðuþjóðanna sem bæði eru aðilar að.  Ísrael er ákært fyrir skipulögð þjóðarmorð á palestínumönnum.

 

Hver skyldi verða afstaða Íslands til þeirrar ákæru en við höfum viðurkennt Palestínu sem sjálfstætt ríki.

Mun Ísland eins og Biden tala tungum tveim og "dinglast" með sínum "vinveittu þjóðum" sem láta barnamorð í Palestínu viðgangast?   

Ypta öxlum og tala um að gæta "meðalhófs" í manndrápum?

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told Congress that he had made a second emergency determination in less than a month, covering a $147.5m sale of equipment to Israel, the State Department said on Friday.

“Given the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs, the secretary notified Congress that he had exercised his delegated authority to determine an emergency existed necessitating the immediate approval of the transfer,” it said.

“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against the threats it faces.”

The package includes ancillary items, including fuses, charges and primers that Israel would require to make the 155mm shells that it had previously purchased, function......

F“So, in that context – knowing that is what they say they want – they are now selling to Israel the exaction munitions they need to continue a high-intensity campaign.”

‘Morally scandalous’

"Israel will also be purchasing 155mm M107 projectiles, which are artillery shells that will cause widespread destruction in a densely populated area such as Gaza, Culhane reported.
