Israel and White Phosphorous

More horrors from the criminal regime of Israel.

Climbing on board with guys like Saddam and the United States by USING CHEMICAL WEAPONS in Lebanon
:

"The Israeli army dropped phosphorous bombs on Hezbollah guerilla targets during their war in Lebanon this summer, an Israeli Cabinet minister said yesterday, confirming Lebanese allegations for the first time. Until now, Israel had said it only used the weapons -- which can cause severe chemical burns -- to mark targets or territory, according to Israeli media reports. But Cabinet Minister Yaakov Edri said Israel used the weapons before an Aug. 14 cease-fire went into effect, ending its 34-day war against Hezbollah.

White phosphorous is a translucent wax-like substance with a pungent smell that, once ignited, creates intense heat and smoke. The Geneva Conventions ban using white phosphorous against civilians or civilian areas. The United States acknowledged last year that U.S. troops used white phosphorous as a weapon against insurgent strongholds during the battle of Fallujah in November 2004, but said it had never been used against civilians. Israel is a signatory to the Geneva Conventions."

Amazing how USrael just DISOBEYS and FLAUNTS international law, but god help you if you are Arab or Muslim!

Pffffffttttttt!!!!!!

"The Israeli military said in July its use of weapons conforms to international law and it investigates claims of violations based on the information provided... Yesterday, a cluster bomb left over from the conflict exploded in a southern Lebanese village, killing a 12-year-old boy and wounding his younger brother.

Also yesterday, Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz said air force flights over Lebanon would continue... the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon termed the overflights a clear violation of the cease-fire resolution (New York Times October 23, 2006)."

WTF?

Yup, Israel doesn't RUN the WORLD or anything, they just VIOLATE U.N. RESOLUTIONS WITH IMPUNITY!!!
