CBS Evening News: Israel Admits To Using Dangerous Chemical; Says It Violated No Laws

[mrnrgmizer]

Israeli officials said they stopped the attack and siege on Gaza because they claim to have reached their objectives..
They don''t admit that intense international pressure was building against Israel causing them to stop their punishment of Hamas....Palastinians ...whatever...
They are showing themselves to be the bloodthirsty self righteous, manipulative, land thieving, ghetto builders they truly are.
They are forcing their own distant relatives, (who they deny as being their own) to live lives of despair and hopelessness under what can only be viewed as a tyranny....
To blame Hamas is easy....to live there is hard.
It''s the U.N.''s fault for this disaster...The U.N. made Israel...the U.N. must control Israel or that country will mock us all, and the Arab world will not abide by it''s rules.

""So, if Jews control America, as you imply, then you are saying that a tiny fraction of any Jew is more than a match for a weak, ineffective, limp-wristed schickerer Yock like yourself, max0074.""

In the middle of the Gaza carnage, our lawmakers shamelessly from reps to dems voted a BS resolution (whatever it was) in favor of Israel. The whole world had already understood that it was a punishment of the Palestinian population, as the worldwide press was banned war crimes were commited.Too long to list here.
Our lawmakers wagged their tails to show AIPAC they deserve they paychecks or campaign contributions.
This has nothing to do with how many they jews are in this country. If we follow your stupid reasoning we can ask ourselves how a few hundred thousand nazis could exterminte 6 millions people ? Were they wimp and weak ? Shame on you.

Welfare state ?

Whats the rest of the Arab world been recieving the last 40 years ? trinkets ?

catastrophic economy ?

Israel has one of the most thriving economys in the Western world.
What does the Arab world produce other than Oil ( with the Wests help) and suicide belts ?

================================

If Israel has such a thriving economy why are we Americans (who don''t have a thriving economy) being forced to contribute BILLIONS to them and also BILLIONS more as bribes to their neighbors Jordan and Egypt to do Israels bidding? Israeli support over the years has cost Americans trillions due to oil embargoes and wars with Iraq, not to mention the direct aid and loans....mostly borrowed from China.

Read the "Israeli Lobby" for insight.

@Gaye5

google white phosphorus, so you can find out what it really does. Yes it does illuminate, and causes smoke to hide the movements of troops not to see better.And the discs you are talking about can burn for hours. There are other types of ammunition that can be used, such as smoke rounds,star clusters to name a couple. They can say what they want WP is used to burn the enemy out and cause maximum casulties.

Maybe the money Christian Obama allocated for overseas abortions can be sent directly to the Hamas people?

Cut off all foreign and military aid to everybody, let them do it on their own.

My only hope is that Obama doesn''t become Bush when it comes to Middle East.
Obama should let Mr. Mitchell hit the ground and get the peace process working.

We cannot afford another four more years of blood shed in the Holy Land.All stakeholders including Hamas must be brought together to get the road map working.

There must be 2 states in Palestine.Israel living side by side in peace and security with Palestinians.

That is what all of us must be working to achieve.

The turmoil in the Middle East is not in anyone''s interest except the defence industry.

Jews (Isaac)and Arabs(Ishmael)=Abraham that is the truth. I am sure Abraham is not happy seeing his own grandchildren killing one another and fighting over what belongs to both of them.

You have to wonder, why would anyone establish their country in the middle of their worst enemies, who want nothing so much as to see them all dead.

Yes, this is exactly the situation with Israel. For less than what the USA has spent on them so far, we could give them say, New Mexico, Arizona, or even Nevada for their country.

I gather that this new phosphorous is dissolved and absorbed on a flammable disk. These disks burst into flame when they hit the air. So you only might get a contact burn if the disk hits you. These ARE intended to make targets with smoke, or obscure locations, they help them to see in darkness..

[pthinker]

No matter what you say what is wrong is wrong. There is no justification for Hamas to use civilians as human shields and must be condemned in the strongest possible terms.

In the same vain there is no moral justification for Israel to use WP against civilian targets and that action must be equally condemned.

The scale and inhumane destruction of Gaza can only be equalled to the destruction of Dresden by allied governments who have refused to condemn Israel for using such disproportionate force against civilians.

The IAEA should investigate any possible use of depleted uranium in Gaza.Israel should know that the use of such weapons will not be harmful to only Palestinians but Israelis who live next door to Gaza.

I am saddened by the fact that these cousins continue to kill each other.

Both Jews and Palestinians are cousins because they have one common ancestry-Abraham. How will Father Abraham feel seeing his own grandchildren killing each other over what land that belongs both of them?
