Yet there is a border that Gaza has with Egypt. There has been much talk of the Israeli siege of Gaza. If you want to be serious please answer following questions:ġ. Garbage.If it wasn't so sad it would be laughable. Do you sing "throw the Jew down the well" in the shower? Oh goodness here we go again."the Jews are responsible for all the evils in the world., they killed Jesus, were responsible for Genghis Khan and his horde of mongols and the massacres, they caried out 9/11, were responsible for the holocaust, stole the kids sweets, and didn't shout loudly enough when Tinkerbell was about to expire,were responsible for 2 world wars, the massacres in Tianamin square, Rwanda, the Iran Iraq war, Darfur, Zimbabwe,the Polar bears becoming extinct, global warming and the caste system of the Hindus". In recent years, the United States, Israel and Russia have used white phosphorus in combat. While the Chemical Weapons Convention does not designate WP as a chemical weapon, various unofficial groups consider it to be one.
White phosphorus weapons are controversial today because of their potential use against civilians. The slang term "Willy(ie) Pete" or "Willy(ie) Peter", dating from the First World War and common at least through the Vietnam era, is still occasionally heard.
White phosphorus is commonly referred to in military jargon as "WP". The agent is used in bombs, artillery shells, and mortar shells, short range missiles which burst into burning flakes of phosphorus upon impact. White phosphorus bombs and shells are incendiary devices, but can also be used as an offensive anti-personnel flame compound capable of causing serious burns or death. White phosphorus (WP) is a flare- and smoke-producing incendiary weapon, or smoke-screening agent, made from a common allotrope of the chemical element phosphorus. Letting Hamas and their supporters escape would be a tragedy, too. Killing everyone in Gaza would be an atrocity by any definition. I am just making observations on some of the terms and tactics discussed above. Unless you planned on killing all of them too, it would not be genocide.ĭon't get the impression that I am for any of these alternatives. There are many Palestinians throughout the mid-East and the world. Israel has said that it would not be the first to use nuclear weapons in the Middle East.Įven if you killed all the people in Gaza, by whatever means, it would still not be genocide. They are big enough and far enough away that nuclear weapons would not likely do significant harm to Israel (of course unless they too have nuclear weapons). Now Iran, the biggest sponsor of Islamic terrorism, is a different story. The radiation would probably kill as many people outside of Gaza as inside, perhaps more. In fact, senior international correspondent Nic Robertson says that within minutes of the resolution passing, sounds of fighting could still be heard from the gaza-Israel border.Ī nuclear attack on Gaza is not realistic. But they are in no way binding, and many in the past have been ignored by warring factions.
The resolution expresses "grave concern" about the growing humanitarian crisis and heavy civilian casualties in Gaza, as well as civilian deaths in Israel from Hamas rocket fire.Ī resolution from the council, particularly one that passes with such large support, can put international pressure on parties involved in a conflict. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice abstaining from the vote on behalf of the United States. The United Nations Security Council has just overwhelmingly passed an immediate ceasefire resolution in the Gaza conflict.įourteen of the council's 15 members voted in favor of the resolution, with U.S. It look less time than during the Israel-Hezbollah war of 2006, but will it work?
