Wonder why I get echoes of "Israel calling - Israel calling" every time you post.
The report of their use has been carried widely, except in the U.S, apparently
However. Israel has not offered your excuse, nor have they denied their use.
You are now propagandizing on their behalf to save them the trouble
You are a rabid moron

The London Guardian reported Sunday that "The Israeli military is using flechette shells, which spray out thousands of tiny and potentially lethal metal darts, in its military operation in Gaza."[1] -- B'Tselem, the Israeli human rights organization, says that although these weapons are not banned per se, "other rules of humanitarian law render their use in the Gaza Strip illegal. -- One of the most fundamental principles is the obligation to distinguish between those who are involved and those who are not involved in the fighting, and to avoid to the extent possible injury to those who are not involved. -- Deriving from this principle is the prohibition of the use of an imprecise weapon which is likely to result in civilian injuries." -- The London Independent also wrote about Israel's use of flechettes.[2] -- So did the Belfast Telegraph, which also posted a graphic RT video showing wounded Palestinians and interviewing Mads Gilbert, a Norwegian doctor, who called Israeli attacks "immensely disproportionate."[3] -- A Google News search shows that discussion of their use also appeared in articles published in Israel, New Zealand, Canada, China, France, Lebanon, Iran, and Russia. -- We have only been able to locate one article published in U.S. media about the use of flechettes, published by Newsweek, where their use is presented as merely an unproven allegation.[4] ..
