"THIS IS A NASTY BUNCH YOU ARE SUPPORTING - AND SUGGESTING THE PALESTINIANS SURRENDER TO." - Jim Carroll

Who is suggesting that the Palestinians surrender to anyone? Another idiotic, hysterical rant from Jim lad.

What the Palestinians want to do is to try a period of not attacking and killing their neighbours to find out what sort of result they get.

Oh by the bye on the subject of White Phosphorus here is the Convention on Chemical Weapons please show me where White Phosphorus is listed as being prohibited. Please show me where within this convention White Phosphorus is even mentioned.

Chemical Weapons Convention

Where White Phosphorus Munitions are mentioned:

Conventional Weapons Protocol III - Incendiary Weapons

The important bit extracted from the above:

"Protocol III lists certain munition types like smoke shells which, even if they contain White Phosphorus, only have a secondary incendiary effect; these munition types are not considered to be incendiary weapons."

Please provide details of IDF white phosphorus munitions used - (Only kidding I know that you won't do anything of the sort - they used the M825A1 which contains 116 felt wedges impregnated with white phosphorus which, once dispersed by a high-explosive charge, start to burn within four to five seconds. They then burn for five to ten minutes. The smoke screen produced is extremely effective, it is NOT classified as an incediary weapon - NO OTHER WEAPONS CONTAINING WHITE PHOSPHORUS WERE USED).

MGOH - over 8000 missiles, rockets and mortar bombs fired from Gaza into Israel since the IDF cleared all Israeli citizens from Gaza. There have been recorded instances of some of these munitions being filled with White Phosphorus (September 2010; March 2011 & August 2011) - Note filled with white phosphorus not impregnated felt wedges - these ARE INCENDIARY WEAPONS usage of which against civilian targets is illegal.

Now then Kevin you tell me how many missiles, rockets or mortar bombs would you expect the UK Government to accept landing in our green and pleasant land before retailiating? I sincerely hope it would nothing like 8000.
