While all weapons are potentially dangerous to civilians, cluster bombs pose a particular threat to civilians for two reasons: they have a wide area of effect, and they have consistently left behind a large number of unexploded bomblets.

One of the worst incidents involving civilian deaths and the use of cluster bombs was the 1999 NATO Cluster bombing of Niš [Kosovo War]. At least 16 civilians were killed and more than 80 injured in repeated attacks on housing flats and central Niš (19.4.1999, 7.5.1999 and 12.5.1999) during which NATO planes dropped cluster bombs.

1) As a matter of principle (in humanitarian respect), providing security for Israel is founded on political-ethical liability. I do hope, you will not deny that.
2) Labelling Israel as "Zionist state" seems to me both to reduce the reality of Israel and to express a negative preconception on Israel. I do hope, your attitude about Israel be not narrowed to this.

The EU is effectively supporting the state of Israel with its peacekeepers.

Bringing up this allegation is invidious and absolutely rubbish, especially in connexion with the video above. The unexploded ordnance devices that are being removed as shown, originate from the IDF, and removing them helps human beings (and, believe me, I don't give a shit on their nationality; they are human beings, and that's enough to know).

The other wolf is a wolf of greed, hatred, and corruption. The grandson asks "Which wolf will win?" The grandfather replies "Whichever wolf I feed."

Lebanon/Israel: Hezbollah Rockets Targeted Civilians in 2006 War
Attacks on Northern Israel Violated Laws of War

(Beirut, August 29, 2007) – During the 2006 war, Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets indiscriminately and at times deliberately at civilian areas in northern Israel, killing at least 39 civilians, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Human Rights Watch said that Hezbollah’s justifications for its attacks on Israeli towns – as a response to indiscriminate Israeli fire into southern Lebanon and to draw Israel into a ground war – had no legal basis under the laws of war.

Lebanon/Israel: Hezbollah Rockets Targeted Civilians in 2006 War

(Beirut, August 29, 2007) – During the 2006 war, Hezbollah fired thousands of rockets indiscriminately and at times deliberately at civilian areas in northern Israel, killing at least 39 civilians, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Human Rights Watch said that Hezbollah’s justifications for its attacks on Israeli towns – as a response to indiscriminate Israeli fire into southern Lebanon and to draw Israel into a ground war – had no legal basis under the laws of war.

The 128-page report, “Civilians under Assault: Hezbollah’s Rocket Attacks on Israel in the 2006 War”, presents more than 20 case studies based on extensive field research in northern Israel into rocket attacks that killed or injured civilians in Jewish, Arab and mixed villages, towns and cities. [...]

“Hezbollah’s explanations for why it fired rockets at Israel’s civilian population utterly fail to justify these unlawful attacks,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, director of Human Rights Watch’s Middle East and North Africa division.
[...]
Hezbollah rockets, some carrying anti-personnel steel spheres, repeatedly hit populated areas in northern Israel. Human Rights Watch found that numerous rockets were fired in which there was no apparent legitimate military target in the vicinity at the time of the attack, indicating that civilians were deliberately attacked. For example, hundreds of rockets struck inside Karmiel, Nahariya, and Kiryat Shmona, cities containing no significant military assets.
