International Law does not work for Israel, They suffered holocaust they are allowed.
Israel Launches Chemical Weapons Attack
- Thread starter Guile
- Start date
except it wasn't an anti personnel weapon. otherwise it would have been mixed with HE shells to make it remotely effective.
if its so clear according to "international law (lol)" wheres the court case?
actually international law doesn't work for anyone with nukes sailing round on submarines.
or any nation that ****s over one thats less useful than they are.
for instance Iraq, useless to the big boys compared to America or the UK, so no one cares.
Palestine, useless compared to israel to the western big boys so again no one cares.

Well it seems having nukes, well decent nukes not North Korea style which wouldnt even be able to lift off... Is the only chance to be taken seriously and not get screwed over.
No wonder Iran is not allowed to have them, even though Israel has them...
israel has more than us by most accounts....
once they've got them it';s impossible to take them away.
iirc israel wasn't really "allowed" them either, nor was south Africa but they colluded due to their relatively similar racist politics at the time and got them regardless.
but again they were more useful las an ally than to invade and destroy to stop them doing it.

Shame that soviet union collapsed really... At least there were some threat to western countries when they wanted to intervene but now... Its free for all really...
Apparently Iran is not allowed to have them because they are "terrorists" but then we have Saudi Arabia threatening Russia openly with supporting and leading terrorist activities during 2014 Olympics.

You should watch documentary on what are saudis doing with the Qur-an or how you spell it...
Basically they are "interpreting" it in such way that there is nothing peaceful left in that book and everything is jidahist and since they are so rich they publish it in Millions and send it out for free, so now it has become official quran just because its most wide-spread edition of it.

While we're on the subject of ANCIENT ****ING HISTORY, the US used nukes to massacre Japanese in 1945. What happened to their sanctions/trials/etc?
Honestly, some people just love to stir up trouble for the sake of it

When threads regarding subjects of this apparent importance and gravitas are posted in GD I know that the poster has neither the balls nor the intelligence to post it in SC.
What documentary was that?

White phosphorus is not a chemical weapon when used in the manner Israel used them: Smoke screens.
at least explosives are likely quick death relative to your flesh burning from WPAs opposed to nice cuddly high explosives
They shouldn't be dropping bombs on cities and towns anyway if they know civilians are still there

Firstly 2009 is hardly ancient history, nor for that matter is 1945. 1945 was by and large seen as what caused the end of the war, but by no means is universally considered not to be a war crime, infact it was. The problem with a world war is every side committed horrendous acts and many millions of people died. Ultimately the winning side both gets to write history(particularly the recent history, as time goes on more about what happened in WW2 has been established but many of those involved simply aren't around to punish IF there was the will to do so).
Second, they've also been accused of using white phosphorus in the past several months which has seen international outrage like the kind we are getting now.
It's relevant in as much as, when it pushes our agenda we care about it, publicise it(or just make it up) when it's a friendly state, we completely ignore similar situations. When we are having votes in the house of commons on if chemical warfare is a reason to go and kill many many people in a country in civil war for reasons that seem to be things we'd ignore if a friendly nation did it. It's hardly irrelevant to discuss such topics.
Our foreign policy is just absurd, unfair, disgusting and nothing short of trying to get involved in conflicts and wars for our own personal gain.
WW2 was such a situation as well, Germany being in power and likely coming after us wasn't good and we had a lot to gain but it was also the right call. Getting into a fairly localised civil war(which we probably helped instigate for political reasons) is not the same.
Either way, I find this whole chemical warfare outrage hilariously obtuse.
Use a drone with a explosives to utterly destroy a city block in Iraq killing hundreds of innocent civilians, children, families.... that's perfectly fine. Do it with chemical weapons with an identical outcome.... somehow its awful.
People like the states make a big deal out of chemical warfare and tell everyone it's wrong, to make their other methods appear more civilised when absolutely no logical reason can be found why killing people with chemical weapons is worse than killing them with "normal" weapons. It's absurd, like everyone who get's hit with gas will die horribly painfully and slowly yet everyone near a explosive bomb hit dies instantly and painlessly.... sure.
We can drone strike people all day long in places we've generated wars out of nothing with no consequence and it's seen as legitimate, yet we can fake outrage over chemical weapons because they kill people... harder... more, dead people are more dead when killed by chemical weapons?
Sadly, the first part of your statement is probably not too far from the truth, the Jordanian Hashemite's excepted. A quick look outside of my window at the near total lack of artillery strikes in the York area confirms that the second part of your statement is pure fantasy.
This is exactly the point and is what is precisely covered under article 2 of protocol 3 of the CCW
Use of incendiary munitions within civilain zones is prohibted due to their indiscriminate nature. Thus hot droping a crap load of WP into down town Gaza is actually, shock horror, ILEGAL ! People just don't want to admit to this.
More over the US actually described the Iraqi use of WP agains the kurds as a chemical weapon due to the targeting of civilians. This was part of US official documentation resulting form their intelligence / investigation

The nature of urban fighting no ? Maybe if Hezbollah had the well being of innocent civilians at the centre of their strategy they wouldn't launch their rockets from populated areas in the first place.
I could go in to power for 4 years and I seriously doubt you'd be seeing artillery strikes in the UK either. Doesn't make me a good politician.
