Britain has been used as a staging post for major shipments of bunker-busting bombs from America to Israel. The Israelis want the 5,000lb smart bombs to attack the bunkers being used by Hizbollah leaders in Lebanon.

Two chartered Airbus A310 cargo planes filled with GBU 28 laser-guided bombs landed at Prestwick airport, near Glasgow, for refuelling and crew rests after flying across the Atlantic at the weekend, defence sources confirmed. The airport has also been used by the CIA for rendition flights carrying terrorist suspects.

The Government's agreement to the bomb flights was criticised last night by the Liberal Democrats.

"In light of disproportionate military attacks, the Government should take steps to suspend all arms transfers to Israel, whether directly from or through the UK," said Michael Moore, the party's foreign affairs spokesman.

President George W Bush appeared uncomfortable when he was asked if he regarded the simultaneous American provision of military support and humanitarian aid to Israel as contradictory. He said that America was honouring commitments to Israel made before the current crisis flared up.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are looking at our approach to these flights."

It has been reported that efforts to crush Hizbollah have been hindered by a lack of bombs capable of penetrating their command bunkers.

As these are radiological weapons (they use Depleted Uranium) then the UK is facilitating the export and use of WMD to an on-going conflict in the Middle East, and is in breach of various international treaties - apart, that is, from facilitating the commission of war crimes.

But I don't suppose Holy Tone, or Margaret ("look what a mess I made of British agriculture") Beckett give a stuff.

The use of DU munitions in the current conflicts is, if anything, more outrageous than 9/11 itself. IMHO, DU munitions should be banned as soon as possible - this stuff is going to be circulating around this planet for billions of years.

Have you looked at the official statements about UD weapons from the MOD and press etc its unbelievable they consider it completely safe and say there is no evidence that it is dangerous to use.

By shouting it's all the zionists (and having a silly picture of man with a gun) you are

1) completely failing to see the bigger picture IMO
2) provoking a sense of war mongering and increased tension between jews and non-jews (yes I know zionism does not equal judaism, but...)
3) playing straight into the hands of PTB, since that's what they want you to shout.

How many times does this point need repeating?

Peace
