Reply #1: Gee, remember the BIG DEAL that Colombia made a few weeks ago, about recently finding

Swedish weapons bought by Venezuela in the 1980s at a FARC guerrilla camp in Colombia, and claiming that Venezuela was arming the FARC?!

Turned out, though, that they found old guns from twenty different countries at that camp. And they never took their wild accusation back, the fuckers, nor did our corpo/fascist press attempt to correct this goddamned lie about Venezuela.

And here is Israel--if Colombia's screwball logic is to be believed--doing the same thing--arming some group of troublemakers or criminals somewhere; not an authorized shipment (apparently); probably just privateer weapons traffickers, stealing state of the art Israeli military weapons and profiting nicely in the trade. (Or in any case that's what Rotters wants us to believe.) (The Philippine authorities also seem a bit...I don't know...wide-eyed about this? 'Oh, dear, weapons! Tsk, tsk! What if they got into the wrong hands?!')

The world is awash in weapons--the U.S. being the worst culprit in this. In fact, U.S. tax dollars, funneled to Israel as military aid, probably bought those multiply-profitable rifles. War and killing are our only growth industry. Very saddening. We could have been a better country.
