Israelis have a habit of saying one thing in front of the world but behind closed doors… from the very first day of Israel’s inception, never been interested in peace.

Religion and control go hand in hand. Spanish inquisition was Patriarchal control at the end the Feudal period
Not true, it can be used for smoke. The 155mm shells actually say WP Smoke on them.

Israel will claim it was only used in unpopulated areas. That's the same excuse she used for previous phosphorus attacks.
UK to deploy Royal Navy ships to Middle East to 'bolster security'
Two ships, surveillance aircraft, helicopters and a detachment of Royal Marines are being dispatched.

Edit - oh I see what you mean, nothing re: OTT Isreal bombings.
I get the sense that we are simply trying to cosy up to the US as their ally, rather than do anything ‘noble’.

Pressure mounting on Netanyahu.

only partially true. Its use in population centres where there is high risks to civllians is prohbitied under protocol III, however considering Israel didn't sign up to that I guess they don't care. Ironically enough Lebanon and Palestine did sign up to it. See @gazref link for reference.

I see. And what about the thousands of rockets launched at Israel? Were they meant to turn the other cheek?

airbursts of WP over what they claim is an unpopulated area in one of the most densly populated areas of land in the world........................ That's like the time I told my teacher that my neighbours dog ate my homework.

Won't happen now, he's formed a government of national unity and they are at war.
Soldato
no, but as the overwhelmingly superior military force they shouldn't use ordnance that is capable of dealing collective punishment style retribution when they have alterantives that do the same job without maming large swathes of the non combatant civllians, unelss of course you believe Palestine = Hamas and they should all be cleansed...............
Nope.
The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons – UNODA

Israel will just claim it was smoke used for marking, which seems to be the case. They did the same back in 2008.
What are people's thoughts, on the UK getting involved? - we're sending ships and planes to help Israel..
I'm not sure it sits well with me.
I feel more like we should leave that **** hole part of the world alone and stay the hell away..

I stand corrected.Nope.

is a thesis authored at the Universty of Anglia proposing ammendments to the protocol specifically around WP due to its potential for dual use as marker and incendiary.

The idea that any of the kit we're sending is going to (in the words of Sunak) "prevent further escalation" is laughable, we're sending a couple of ships (not actually Royal Navy but merchant Navy Royal Fleet auxiliary vessels) and a tiny number of marines which I expect are really going in the event we need to evacuate British citizens.
There's a US aircraft carrier group there, anything we send in comparison is just laughable.
Not really keen on it tbh, feels like its always the US and UK that are having to be the worlds police but I guess we cant be as insular in 2023 as I would like us to be when it comes to these sorts of things.

They can claim what ever they want but as in Fullajah a shake and bake mission isnt legal under the CWC. Israel have previous of WP on a hospital. Neither side is clean and 2 million innocents are trapped in the Gaza Ghetto.
I get that, but I think that's part of the point I'm making - in reality we're not really going to generate any impact, but we are painting a target on our backs by getting involved..,.
The 2017 terror attacks stick in my memory..
I get the US getting involved, they want to to use Israel to project their power over that continent, and Israel is full of yanks anyway...
But the UK.... I just don't like the idea of us getting involved.

The cynic in me thinks Sunak see's it as a vote winner and also provides him with a bit more politiking to say that based on Labours antisemitism connections they would never have done this and then paves the way for them to roll out an election campaign that revolves around saying vote for Labour = vote for Islamic Terror.

The UK has barely got a military it can hold together for its own needs let alone cosplaying as world police.

At the moment it looks like they're sending additional fire engines to support the fire brigade in putting out a tea candle.
I understand the reason for sending them however, but they need to be clear that this continuous bombing is wrong and Children dying - whether at the hands of Hamas or due to indiscriminate bombing - is never justified.
