Is Israel Guilty Of Using Illegal Weapons?



The Horror...........

Israel is not only guilty of outrageous abuse of power but quite possibly use of illegal weapons. 

I just don't get what on earth is going on in the collective mind, if there is such a thing, of Israelis. First a premeditated war against predominantly

civilian Palestinian targets under the feeble pretext of hitting Hamas rocket sites. It seems Hamas continues to fire various missiles out, even after this apocalypse that has been visited on Gaza.

Too strong a word, I hear you mutter beneath your breath – apocalypse? Well, how about that most of the dead were civilians? How about that most of the remaining Palestinian businesses still operating in Gaza were flattened? How about that schools, UN buildings, medics and others were targeted, intentionally or unintentionally?

And how about the fact that weapons of war that are illegal were used by Israel? White phosphorus was used against civilians. DIME (dense inert metal explosives) weapons were used. Other experimental weapons were also apparently used, all with devastating effects on the population. Even DU (depleted uranium) weapons were apparently used. 

And the Israeli response? We will protect our own, we will not prosecute our soldiers for these crimes against humanity carried out in the name of peace on behalf of Israel. 

This is nothing more than an unmitigated disaster that will only drive a wedge into an already riven society. The leadership of Israel has clearly been drinking at the well of stupidity. They have forgotten the lessons of history so recently visited upon their own. 

There is only one sane response. The words of an a man driven insane. Kurtz. The horror, the horror.
