righthand says: A shocking aspect of the war was Israel's firing of at least a million cluster bombs, old munitions supplied by the US with a failure rate as high as 50%, in the last days of fighting. The tiny bomblets, effectively small land mines, were left littering south Lebanon after the UN-brokered ceasefire, and are reported so far to have killed 30 civilians and wounded at least another 180. Israeli commanders have admitted firing 1.2 million such bomblets, while the UN puts the figure closer to 3 million. Israel's use of cluster bombs has been described as a war crime by human rights organizations. According to the rules, the bombs should have been used only in open and unpopulated areas – although with such a high failure rate, this would have done little to prevent later civilian casualties. A leaked army report to the Israeli media, discovered that the cluster bombs had been fired into Lebanese population centers in gross violation of international law. We are all slaves to Israel. We are all slaves to Israel.I'm not sure any more as to who is leading who. Neocons and the Jewish state are a dangerous mix. The stage is being set for us all to subjugate ourselves in submission to their control. |
