"Jim, you have one old report about Sadaam's use of WP, "
Which identifies the fact that the US regarded white phosphorus as a "chemical weapon" and only 'de-chemicalised' it when they decided to use it in places like Falujah - not unlike re-identifying 'torture' as 'extreme rendtion' really!
As much as people wanted Israel to work following the sufferings of the Jewish people at the hands of Nazism, it has become the worst of all worlds - a terrorist state ruled by zealots driven by a two thousand year old fairy story, with a nueclear capability
It has shifted from being the victim to becoming the abuser and it is of no surprise that the only support it has at present in its opposition to a Palestinian state is that of another human rights abuser.
