Israel claims this morning that 70 tons of weaponry has been smuggled into Gaza since the end of the war. The claims come at a time of rising clamour for the lifting of the siege and Israeli leaders no doubt hope that there claims in some way justify the maintenance of the siege. Alternatively it shows that the siege has not prevented the resistance from accessing weapons to fight back with but has succeeded in starving the poorest Palestinians.
For the increasingly belligerent and racist general population in Israel it shows the slaughter should have continued beyond the 22 days of terror inflicted by the IDF.

Palestinian militants have smuggled nearly 70 tons of explosives and bomb-making materials and other weapons into Gaza since Israel ended an offensive meant to choke off the arms flow, a senior Israeli defense official said Sunday.
The assessment by the chief of Israel's internal security service, Yuval Diskin, reinforced a growing feeling among Israelis that the government ended the war too soon. From AP
