[UK Prime Minister Mr Gordon] Brown said British naval vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden would help to intercept weapons from countries like Iran. "This fragile ceasefire has got to be followed immediately, if it is to be sustainable, by humanitarian access . . . by troop withdrawals, by an end to arms trafficking," he said.
Wake the Flock Up's Commentary:
We just got done with three weeks of open warfare in Gaza. We saw white phosphorus (supplied to Israel by the United States), tungsten flechette rounds (supplied to Israel by the United States), miscellaneous incendiaries (supplied to Israel by the United States), precision guided bombs (supplied to Israel by the United States) dropped from aircraft (supplied to Israel by the United States), missiles (supplied to Israel by the United States) fired from helicopters (supplied to Israel by the United States) ... but we never saw any of these weapons Israel accuses Iran of supplying to Gaza.
More than that, for the limited times we had a live camera feed from Gaza we saw Israeli aircraft and helicopters circling back and forth low over the city, apparently well aware that the Gazans did not have man portable surface to air missiles with which to fight back. There are no reports that the Gazans were able to engage Israeli tanks with anti-tank rockets.
If the Gazans were smuggling anything in through those tunnels other than food, it would have been employed in the last 3 weeks.
It is time to enforce UN Resolution 242."
