Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Jim, thank you for pointing out that phosphorus is a CHEMICAL. So is every other substance in the world Jim. Every explosion is a chemical reaction, so all weapons are chemical weapons. Right?
That is just sophistry Jim. By calling the smoke used in Gaza a chemical weapons attack, people would assume you meant chemical weapons as understood internationally. A deliberate and cynical deception to make the incident seem far worse than it actually was.
By all means discuss the Mid East conflict, but be honest.
