"20th July White phosphorous is nasty stuff,"
WP is not nasty stuff - it is poisonous, ands it kills and burns people; your description is insulting considering the damage it does - 'praising with faint damns' in fact.
You have stated categorically that the Israelis have not targeted civilians - not true.
Your postings are becoming hysterically confused - are you now admitting that the Israeli's use of phosphorus on civilian targets constitutes a war crime - please be specific?
"Jim, YOU have constantly denied to Israel the right to defend themselves"
No I haven't - I have said that an invaders should expect efforts to repel them. The Israelis are the aggressors here as far as I am concerned, they have used chemical weapons on occupied cities, they have invaded Palestinian territory with heavy weapons, tanks, armored cars, they have bombed civilian area, bombarded hospital and schools, even relief food supplies. Complaining about random shelling is like Goliath expecting David to throw away his sling.
"Jews stopped standing in rows to be shot after WW II. "
Once again you scurry behind the holocaust to make your argument - my grouse is with the Israeli government, not the Jewish people - and it never has been.
You appear to be doing what you have accused Hamas of doing - in this case, using the Jewish people as hostages.
