A slow genocide
In Hebron, where 600 Uzi-toting Jewish settlers live among 240,000 Palestinians, 85% of the water is diverted to the few Jewish settlers. The remainder is rationed among Palestinians.The reality is a cruel contrast between a people with swimming pools amidst green lawns and a people who must share bathing water.
Israel: a Middle East superpower
Did you know Gaza is a giant prison and the Israelis are still the jailers?
The U.S. provides Israel with the money and military financing that makes occupation possible. Because of access to American technology and financial support:
Israel has the world's sixth largest military.
Israel has become the third largest arms producer in the world*.
Israel is the world's fourth largest nuclear power.
Israel produces 12% of the world's arms. And it sells to countries few other want to associate with: Apartheid-era South Africa (where it trained the notorious security forces and helped develop the regime's nuclear program), Mobutu's Zaire, Liberia under Charles Taylor, the Burmese generals, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Honduras and Guatemala under their military dictatorships, the corrupt and brutal regimes of Central Asia and Rwanda, where it sold small arms to the Hutu before and during the genocide, then, without interruption, to the Tutsis immediately afterwards.
