The IOF Storm Troopers needed to use about TEN TONS of ordnance for each Gazan they murdered? That's around 20,000 pounds of shells, bombs, grenades, bullets, White Phosphorous and Hellfire missiles used for each dead Gazan.Cast Lead wasn't just about murdering Gazans directly - it was about destroying their infrastructure, their homes, bombing their schools, their hospitals and their ambulances, their sewage systems and water treatment facilities, incinerating and poisoning their farmland, and so on, so that Gazans kept on dying well after the operation ended and the troops withdrew. That's why they needed all those U.S.-supplied firecrackers.
Each container was 20-feet long with a total estimated net weight of 14,000 tonnes. The shipment reportedly reached Israel last month at Ashod, 40 kiometres north of Gaza. The huge arsenal of munitions will replenish those expended in the Gaza War.
According to Amnesty International in the UK, the shipment included white phosphorous.
"We are sure that the consignment contained arms and munitions." We have a strong suspicion that it contained white phosphorous which has been used against civilians in Gaza," Brian Wood, head of Arms Control Campaign at Amnesty International in London said late this week.
"The cargo ship had been chartered and controlled by US Military Sealift Command. It left the USA for Israel on December 20, one week before the start of Israeli attacks on Gaza. The vessel was carrying 989 containers of munitions, each of them 20-feet long with a total estimated net weight of 14,000 tonnes," he said.

The IOF must still be in a state of shock from getting its ass kicked in Lebanon in 2006, so much so, that their trigger fingers are shaky.
