Cause they've been saying it for the last 60 or so years, why break the habit of a lifetime?

Hell they're still miffed we built airbases in the holy land.

Fortunately though they can't attack them without it being interpreted as an attack on Mecca

Gotta hand it to the yanks they know how to manipulate geo politics well.

Another petition (official number 10 government one with over 12,000 sigs so far):

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Arms-embargo/

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to do everything in his power to impose an arms embargo on Israel in light of the recent Israeli offensive in the Gaza strip and to apply pressure on countries supplying Israel with arms that breach international agreements with the intention of restoring lasting peace to the region.

I have just refreshed and it seemed to get 200-300 sigs in just a couple of minutes!

Also:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Introduce sanctions against Israel.

over 17,000 sigs

but it is by any real definition - the fact that it creates smoke is irrelevant, its still a very dangerous chemical that burns any human tissue it comes into contact with.

Through incendiary effect, that doesn't make it a chemical weapon.

Tefal · 10 Jan 2009 at 22:14

so something like 0.002 % of the population?

Well as this is a democracy that;s failed.

Where do you propose we get the weapons and technology and licenses we get from isreal right now though?

fraps · 10 Jan 2009 at 22:15

boycott Israeli products, e.g.

bar code starting in 729

So what's that got to do with the Arabs now calling for us to do something about isreal, despite spending the last 60 years telling us to leave them alone?

*makes note to buy more stuff that starts with 729, over other stuff.

no, not through an incendiary effect - the phosphorous burns in air to make phosphorous pentoxide which forms various phosphorous-based acids when in contact with water, i.e. the water in your body and skin.
