For years we have had on our books the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) which is an attempt to ensure that weapons we sell to foreign nations are not used in war. The act requires nations receiving U.S. arms to certify the weapons are used for internal security and legitimate self-defense, and that their use doesn't lead to an escalation of conflict.
Most of Israel's armaments are made in the USA and there are a lot of them. Under Bush Israel got $19 billion of weapons, more than any other country. These armaments include planes, tanks, personnel carriers, bombs, missiles, etc. Do you suppose that any of these weapons were used in Gaza these past weeks? Will we move to enforce the AECA against Israel?
