Is this an Israeli war crime?
Nov 22nd, 2012 at 5:37pm
 
Have a look at this picture.
It shows the result of an Israeli bomb that left a huge crater in Gaza.
It is from CNN here:
http://edition.cnn.com/2012/11/21/world/meast/gaza-israel-strike/index.html?hpt=...

Picture number 97.
Maybe this was a bunker buster bomb & to drop this an an area full of civilians
must surely be a war crime as it would have endangered the lives of so many civilians.
I don't know how many people it killed.
Aren't there any rules in war?
Is it illegal to drop such weapons on areas full of civilians?
I know they say that all is fair in love & war but this seems to be ridiculous.

Any military action involved with an illegal occupation is a war crime.

I wonder where they got the weapons of mass destruction from to do this ?

Yes Western - but are there any limits as to how big a bomb you can drop in a built up area?
Would a fuel air bomb be allowed?
That would wipe out about a square kilometer.

So much for precision surgical strikes & "we don't target civilians"
as said by Netanyahu - he's a liar.

For Israel?
Of course not.

They get away with dropping white phosphorous on UN schools so obviously they can get away with this.

The common tactic for Israel is to say one thing and do another, through different psychological methods they get people to never question what they say.

Hi Western,
That's a good point.
Are you allowed to burn the flesh to the bone of innocent school kids using phosphorous?

What are the rules of war?
I just see one war crime after another.
Hamas is not innocent either - they all nut cases in the Middle east.

Hamas is as guilty as the Jews who defended themselves against the Nazis.

The Islamic countries did not sign the Universal declaration of human rights because they violate islamic law.

They have to ratify the Rome statute along with many other conventions before they can prosecute anyone for war crimes,firing unguided rockets into civilian areas is also a war crime so they might have to answer for that if they want to be hypocrites when it comes to war crimes.

I doubt they would be using bunker busters it would be Jdam of various weights.

There are rules in war yet the islamic world does not agree with them and have never signed them because they are unislamic like Geneva conventions
This thread has a link for Ibn Nuhaas- the book of jihad which contains the rules muslims must fight by if they want those 72 houris and a everlasting erection to service them with, yes killing women and children is ok under Islamic law as long as they are not muslim.

Did you see those pictures of Hamas dragging a dead Palestinian around with a rope tied to a motorcycle, his crime was collaborating with the Israelis.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

Not when they are defending themselves.

Stop supporting terrorism.

Hi Western,
I am not anti Jewish,
The Jewish people I've met don't seem to be nut cases.
They seem to have a good sense of humour that reminds me of Seinfeld.
Somehow idiots like Netanyahu get into power & use weapons from the USA
that were designed for hard military targets like bunker busters bombs -
& use them on civilians houses - it's insane.
Hillary Clinton should have said something about it - otherwise the USA is complicit.
She's no better than an old witch to support that behaviour - where is her humanity?

These weapons were never meant to be dropped in suburban areas - it's a war crime.

Neither am I but all Jewish people are complicit if they are not speaking out when this stuff is being done in their name. Reality is that they are virtually the only people who can do something about it at present.

A lot of people from Israel have been heavily indoctrinated with a well oiled propaganda machine, which can make people look like nut cases; Avram being a prime example. In my opinion this does not excuse acts of terrorism tho.

It would be highly hypocritical for Hilary to say anything, the yanks drone bomb innocent Pakistani's on a regular basis, and they are their ally's....apparently.

Yes I did - that's a Hamas war crime.

If you oppress, abuse and occupy a peoples for over half a century their state of mind is altered through no fault of their own.
Its a fairly sound legal concept that if I alter your state of mind in such a way your not responsible for any actions as a result.
Hamas is a product of Israeli occupation and thus their actions are a product of Israeli occupation.
