Ironic how people take Israel and the US to task for not being truthful. Its hypocritical to try and seize the high ground by using the very same tactics they disdain (deception / honesty). As far as no one likeing a rat - thats not my concern. Im here to discuss / debate issues - this site is not a popularity contest.
Yeah if you did some research you would find that the white phosphorus was not used as a weapon but as illumination. That incident was investigated by the UN, and per that investigation it was noted Israels use of the phosphorus was not a violation of any laws.
As far as schools / Hospitals etc - They have a protected status when it comes to military actions. They are to be avoided at all costs. Again if people would continue reading, they would see that those protected locations lose their protection status when they are used by Hamas.
While you are on this topic, is there any reason you ignore the UN investigation into Hamas during that incident? Is there any reason you are ignoring the violations Hamas creates by firing rockets indiscriminately into Israeli territory? If you want to hold Israel accountible, then you must hold Hamas accountible.

BTW ..they didnt help .. they simply gave them from the US nuke arsenal

And Hamas used schools and hospitals so they were then legitimate targets, eh? That explains why Israel used white phosphorus weaponry on a UN aid station, right? Or why the IDF attacked a Canadian peacekeeper outpost in Lebannon, killing 2 Canadian soldiers, knowing full well what the target was.

PS: You do realize that Hamas is the DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY OF PALESTINE, right? Every time Israel attacks it without provocation, they are murdering members of the Palestinian government and their security forces. This is called "terrorism", just in case you've never heard of the term before.

Even if the US didn't supply nuclear weaponry or technology to Israel, the US doesn't seem to be doing too much to disarm them.

would it be fair to say Russia / China arent doing much to reign Iran in?
Follow up question -
Do you think Iran should withdraw from the IAEA and if so why?
Thanks
The part you missed is intentionally targeted.The media / pic shots are all airburst rounds = illumination.

I find it extremely disturbing how you justify the targeting of civilians with incendiary weapons by the application of some papers.

Regardless of what the bloody rules are, people were being deliberately set on fire by Israeli weaponry (US did the same in Iraq too). UN aid station burned for three days straight because they had to way of putting the chemical fire out, which meant that they couldn't treat wounded civilians or Hamas fighters. But the piece of people and Israel's refusal to ratify it legitimizes it all, right?

I dare you to say the same thing after you learn what a real flame feels like to your flesh. Maybe only then can you begin to understand what it feels like to be a Palestinian persecuted under Israel's wrath.

So then why would we need to reign in Israels imagined nuclear weapons program? The logic behind your argument here is flawed and one way only.
You really need to check your information and use the actual facts and not your opinion. Your over dramatic descriptions are humerous though. The UN aid station didnt curn for 3 days.
Lol... No problem.. In exchange we can force you to the ground, hands tied behind your back while using a dull knife to cut your head off in the name of allah OR we could wait for you to go to sleep with your family, and sneak in in the middle of the night and slaughter your family....
While neither side are angels, Israeli response are directed at armed militants. Those cowardly militants will use population centers / shcools / hospitals / mosques etc to launch their attacks knowing full well any Israeli response will take out civilians.

"Imagined" Israeli nuclear program? So imagined that they have their own nuclear missiles- the Jericho series.

Hilarious. Did you also learn this type of argument from the CIA disinfo agent textbook too?

These "cowardly militants" are the democratically elected Palestinian authority. They are the government swarn to protect the Palestinians from external threats. You don't seem to get that. You see them all as targets and you justify killing them all.

Im just using your logic - Countries say Iran has a nuclear program / nuclear bombs and you say there is no hard proof of that. Countries claim Israel has a nuke program yet their is no hard evidence of it.
You and I can specualte all we want, however the application of the argument is the exact same between Israel and Iran.
Jericho Ballistic Missile - Israel
Shahan Ballistic Missile - Iran
Both Ballisticc missiles, both capable of reaching each others territory, and both capable of carrying nuclear warheads. To correct your sentence, The Jericho is not a nuclear missile, its ballistic.

What you and others do, by the way, is make victims out of criminals, regardless of situation.
You guys can bitch all you want about US military / political involvement in world affairs all you want. When it comes down to the line though, its the US thats gets stuck dealing with the issue. Our mindset is to nip it in the bud before it starts
