UN General Assembly

43. American support for Israel is not confined to this area alone. Rather, the United States takes it upon itself to supply Israel with all the means of committing aggression and inflicting destruction. Israel has received from the United States this year over 200 M-48 Patton tanks, and 90 F-104 jet planes and a number of Hawk missiles of the type used in the United States Army and the armies of its allies in NATO. 44. I wish to assure the representatives here that Israel is in no financial position to pay the cost of these weapons of aggression. They should also not be surprised to learn that these armaments have been supplied to the authorities of Palestine at a nominal cost; so nominal that the American Secretary of Defense did not disclose the price of these armaments when he was testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Divulging the fantastically low price would have no doubt uncovered the scandal and conspiracy involved.
