No I've forgotten nothing especially in this case where WP was deliberately being used in residential areas. Also people are at far greater risk of death from shrapnel and deliberate small arms fire in the open. When being attacked, it is normal that you look for shelter, not expose yourself in the open. Obviously you Belgians do it differently.
You're kidding, aren't you? Who in the hell would stay in a house that's going to be bombed!!! Unless of course you share the same logic as Hamas and want those people to be killed so you can show them to the press, and to make things worse, throw in a few dead from accidents or failed Hamas rocket launches.
Again you deliberately avoid what was actually said and attempt to divert the facts. Please quote where I stated the the use of WP is illegal? (although it's use against civilians in this situation amounted to a war crime)
What I did imply was that because the Israelis realised the the world was up in arms over their deliberate improper use of this weapon as an antipersonnel weapon designed to cause maximum civilian casualties, (high airburst) in heavily populated residential areas, they immediately denied having used it. This lie was uncovered very quickly and once discovered, they announced an internal inquiry. (We all know about the impartiality of Israeli inquiries don't we)
"There are two types of white phosphorus (WP) smoke shells, one bursting and one with base ejection of smoke producing material. The bursting shells produce an immediate white smoke screen through the sudden oxidation of phosphorus in air. The base ejection shells emit larger discrete phosphorus-soaked felt that disperses and allows the phosphorus to oxidise more slowly. The ones that Israel are accused of using (so far) is the base ejection shells that are really only useful in producing smoke screens and not so useful for their incendiary effect. They are also safer in their usual deployment since the phosphorus is embedded in a carrier, making it far easier to treat incidental burn injuries."
The American Federation of Scientists fact sheet on white phosphorus describes it as having "low lethality" when used as intended. The fact sheet adds that "under that qualification, WP [White Phosphorus] is not necessarily considered an ‘incendiary weapon’ if it incidentally sets buildings on fire.
There is no evidence that Israel intentionally used white phosphorus as an anti-personnel incendiary weapon."
So if it were not improper to use this weapon, why was it's use denied,... then once the lie was uncovered, an inquiry was announced in a futile attempt to appease world opinion?
ROE were violated. Two IDF officers were disciplined for using white phosphorous in Gaza offensive.
And explain to me how having Israel as a democracy in that region is an advantage to us. Explain to me EXACTLY what Israel can do for the US that can possibly compare to what the US provides Israel?
As far as I'm concerned, Israel has been a really shitty ally. What do we get out of this one sided alliance?
Iron Dome, UAV (Israel was first), Israeli advisers are helping train US special forces in aggressive counter-insurgency operations in Iraq (2003) or read the
top 64 innovations developed in Israel, a lot of them are used in the US.
If Israel was not a priority for the US they would have already dropped it.
Your age is most certainly a problem, because you seem to want the respect due to an adult, while you think you can act like a spoilt brat making threats you can't back up, and whose lies are continually disproved. The fact that you would make veiled threats whilst knowing you are in no position to act on them is a typical example of your lack of maturity. Your problem is that here on the internet you are not protected by your corrupt police and government, if you talk sh!t, you will be treated accordingly.
I removed the image because it is in violation of the forum rules.
When are
YOU going to give the facts that someone is telling a lie, because all I hear is the same BS from you. You call everyone that does not agree with you a liar and start insulting them.
An ally that will spy on you, sell your technology to the highest bidder and shoot up your ships plus a bunch of pissed off Saudis to fly planes into your buildings, what more could you possibly want from a friend.
I am sure someone is getting something from your friendship it just may not be you.
will spy on you - and the US is not spying on them???
And now give
facts about :
- sell your technology to the highest bidder - what technology, when and to whom?
- shoot up your ships plus - what ships ? Plural!
- pissed off Saudis to fly planes into your buildings - give evidence!!
- what more could you possibly want from a friend. - elaborate
are you going to answer this or are you going to ignore it for a few days and come back with the same BS like it never happened.
Oh,I pass out again!
