How Many Of You Feel Isreal Used A Banned Weopon?

I do not think Israel used banned weapons at least not in a deliberated way. In a war, no matter which country is involved, civilians will be affected as well as other issues that may break the defined process by the UN. Actually the UN defines a procedure to avoid the military conflict, which as far as I know, it was not followed not the UN, Hamas or Israel but neither by Russian and Georgia.

Weapons are Weapons, all the weapons used in the conflict were legal, missiles are legal, smoke bombs are legal.

There was NO mustard gas as the Iraqis used against their own people and against Iran as well as Egypt against Yemen.

I do not feel that Israel used a banned weapon. Regardless of casualties, white phosphorous is protected under the Geneva Convention for use as a smoke screen for troop movements. Israel made mistakes when they hit UN buildings and many civilians were killed.

Terrorist sympathizers will never point out the problems with Hamas and their routine disregard for the Geneva Convention. Point is, there is NO justification for wishing the annihilation of all Israelis and Americans in their mosques. NONE, not ever. I have no pity for Hamas and Islamic groups.

Okay I feel Israel used a banned "weopon" even when I have no idea what a "weopon" is..I have a heart because I'm typing.Did I win?

There is no credible evidence to suggest Israel used any banned weapons. And, assuming you're talking about the ever popular WP claims, logically there is no reason for them to have used it in the way people are claiming. The WP "weapons" they have are actually flares and smokescreens, neither of which is very effective when used as an offensive weapon.

Yes, I do.

White phosphorus... I'm not sure how can anyone can support its use.

"When white phosphorus lands on skin it burns deeply through muscle and into the bone, continuing to burn until deprived of oxygen."

It's been banned under the Genva Convention, however, Israel claims it uses it only as a smoke screen. They did use it in civilian areas, though. http://www.amnesty.org/en/news-and-updates/news/is...

which banned weapon do you believe they used? It really makes a difference depending on which weapon....
