BRITAIN RULES OUT ISRAELI ARMS EMBARGO
LONDON [MENL] -- Britain has again ruled out the prospect of an arms
embargo on Israel. British officials said the government of Prime
Minister Tony Blair has rejected pressure from Arab and Islamic
states to end British weapons exports to Israel amid its incursion in
Palestinian areas of the West Bank. "At the moment we are not taking
punitive action on either side," parliamentary leader Robin Cook
said. "We want to have respect on both sides so that we can get
across our message that the present way of tit-for-tat retaliations
is not going to break the cycle of violence." Last week, Blair met
Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat amid increasing British
criticism of Israel for the war with the Palestinians. Blair also
praised Arafat's efforts to implement a ceasefire with Israel. But
officials said this will not mean an end to arms exports to the
Jewish state. They said Britain exported a range of military parts,
technology and security systems to Israel over the last year. In all,
the Blair government approved more than 100 licenses for military
equipment to Israel over the last year. The value of the exports is
estimated at several millions of dollars. Cook also played down the
significance of British weapons deliveries to Israel. He told a
briefing of Muslim journalists on Tuesday that Britain supplied
"very few arms" to Israel. During the briefing, Cook defended
Britain's participation in the U.S.-led war on Afghanistan. The
parliamentary leader said the allies have evidence that links Saudi
billionaire fugitive Osama Bin Laden to the suicide attacks on New
York and Washington on Sept. 11.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
