Following was first reported Dec.2006. This was never presented in major media and it helps to explain today's actions by the West-shameful behavior!


U.S. blocks arms, technology to Israel

The sources said the halt in U.S. weapons exports to Israel was designed to assuage Saudi Arabia. They said Riyad has increasingly linked regional cooperation with Washington to pressure on Israel to halt attacks on Palestinian insurgency strongholds in the Gaza Strip. “The White House believes that Saudi help is vital for the United States in Iraq,” a diplomatic source said. “There’s nothing like stopping the weapons flow to Israel to show the Saudis that the United States means business.”
