Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
Keith A, I've read reports where the IDF has claimed to have fired WP rounds from 155 howitizers on "enemy positions."

I have read reports of schools, houses, aid and civilians which have been burned by airbursts of WP.

Janes is a good source of technical information, but this statement does nothing to make your case.

>>>he round so far specified as being fired are the M825A1 which is purely an air-burst white phosherous smoke projectile." the analyst said. 'It's construction and function is highly elaborate and I would say deliberately so to make it inappropriate for anti-personnel use'. M825A1 shell is not defined as an incendiary weapon by the Third Protocol to the Convention on Conventional Weapons because its principal use is to produce smoke to protect troops. <<

The phrase "so far specified" means there may have been other types of rounds used. Even so a 767 jetliner is also not defined as an incendiary weapon by the Third Protocol to the Convention on Conventional Weapons because its principal use is to fly people around. But those firemen and office workers in the twin towers are still dead.

You are a poorly informed apologist for terrorism and mass murder. I have nothing more to say to you.
