Israel WMD use in Gaza alarms NAM
Thu, 19 Feb 2009 18:41:01 GMT
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has condemned the use of "chemical weapons" by Israel in its recent operations against the Gaza Strip.

The NAM condemnation came after Tel Aviv was charged with the use of the controversial white phosphorous -- also known by the military as WP or Willie Pete -- shells during its recent three-week war on the Gaza Strip.

White phosphorus, classified as a chemical weapon by US intelligence, is used in munitions to mark enemy targets and to produce smoke for concealing troop movement. It can also be used as an incendiary device to firebomb enemy positions.

If particles of ignited white phosphorus land on a person's skin, they burn right through flesh to the bone. Toxic phosphoric acid can also be released into wounds, risking phosphorus poisoning.

Exposure to white phosphorus smoke in the air can also cause liver, kidney, heart, lung and bone damage and can even lead to death.

In a statement issued on Thursday at the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, the 114-member group called on the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) "to do its duty in this regard" and to help the Gazan victims of the Israeli aggression.

Addressing the conference, Geneva-based Iranian diplomat Ali-Reza Moayyeri urged the global community and the OPCW to launch an investigation into the use of illegal weapons by Israel in Gaza.

He further called on international organizations to step up pressure on Israel to halt its "weapons of mass destruction program".

International organizations and human rights groups continue to voice concern over Tel Aviv's use of forbidden arms, such as depleted uranium and white phosphorus, in the war on Gaza which has resulted in the deaths of at least 1,330 Palestinians and the injury of thousands of others.

Attacking Nations for spurious reasons has long been the US and Israel’s modus operandi; however, I have noticed that the projection of their own sickly shortcomings onto other nations is their preferred method of justification for violence.

Well okay then, do you suppose that Israel will remain the strongest forever? As history shows that proposal is not only short-sighted but infantile as well. Oh well back to the drawing board troll.

Exactly Hamid, the idea is to behave so overtly diabolical in order to illicit an emotive and anger driven response which can then be labeled as anti-Semitism.

Israel has defied more than 160 UN General Assembly resolutions demanding that obey international Law, demanding they return the land they have confiscated and they have defied More than 60 Security resolution’s 40 of which U.S. has vetoed.

Ben –Gurion Jan 01 1948 this is what the animal wrote in diary. “We need to be accurate about timing, place and those we hit. If we accuse a family we need to harm them without mercy, women and children included. Otherwise, this is not effective reaction… There is no need to distinguish between guilty and not guilty.” This is the first prime minister of Zionist Enterprise.

Have none of you read Herzl’s admission that world Jewry from 1897 on was to use anti-Semitism as its best weapon, a crude form of the Hegelian dialectic.

No, Hitler was wrong, so were Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin (Yuk), and any other so called leader that uses its population to propagate genocide. The enemy is power and greed. Why else do you think that all those European Jews had to die? How else would Zionism convince world Jewry to leave the relative safety of their respective homelands to live in a desert.
RIGHT
Fri, 20 Feb 2009 00:11:12 GMT
Was HITLER right? Actions speak louder than words. The JEWS will NEVER live in peace. They need to disappear. GO whilst you can.
BONDAGE

The JEWS should be returned to Egypt and put back into BONDAGE. They do not deserve to ever be set free. They are INHUMAN.
JUSTICE

How can the JEWS justify KILLING over 1300 people and use white phosphorous against helpless civilians? A time will come very soon when the JEWS WILL TASTE THEIR OWN MEDICINE. Watch them then scream. HITLER WAS RIGHT - the JEWS ARE SCUM.
JEWS ARE INHUMAN
Thu, 19 Feb 2009 23:42:21 GMT
The JEWS are in desperate need of their own medicine. How would they enjoy it if Israel was attacked with chemical weapons such as white phosphorous which they have used in GAZA? HITLER knew what he was doing! A good JEW is a dead JEW. NUKE THEM ALL!
Like AK-47's. RPG's, Road side bombs.

Suicide bombers, rockets and mortars.
White phosphorus is not WMD.
Thu, 19 Feb 2009 23:31:31 GMT
All explosives are chemical too. So lets label all chemical devices used in a military operation as WMD.
White phosphorus is not WMD.

Amnesty international said Hamas forces and militias were involved in a "campaign of abductions, deliberate and unlawful killings, torture and death threats against those they accuse as opponents and critics". It said at least two hundred had been shot by Hamas since the end of December Amnesty gave detailed accounts of some of the cases and said there was "incontrovertible evidence" that Hamas security forces and militia were "responsible for grave human rights abuses".
