...yup and toss the Muzzy's into it..

I'll hold the cattle prod and push'em in.
In case anybody wondered, Boomer just advocated a Holocaust for Muslims, and volunteered to participate.

I wonder if Colpy'll say that's wrong. I doubt it.

they used it in civilian areas, which is a war crime...

No, it isn't. Not unless they intentionally used it on civilians with no military objective.

b00mer is an absolute moron is close to getting ignored... he's not even interested in debating anything, just posting random images of unknown origins. it's for obvious reasons of course, he cannot argue successfully, no one can when you're defending israel.

No, it isn't. Not unless they intentionally used it on civilians with no military objective.

i'm not arguing facts with you, it's against the Geneva conventions to use in civilian areas..

Good. You don't know what you're talking about. The Geneva Conventions do not say one. . . single. . . word. . . about "civilian areas." It addresses treatment of non-combatants.

By the way, the GC are not the be-all and end-all of the law of war. There are a number of other conventions. Of particular note are the Hague Conventions of 1905, which require neutrals to deny the use of their territory to belligerents.

you don't see how civilian areas and non-combatants go hand in hand?

I see it quite clearly. You, on the other hand, are making the classic mistake of comparing international law, including the law of war, to domestic law. They don't compare. Do you want an explanation, or do you want to yell about how horrible Israel is? I'm not going to waste my time explaining to a True Believer.

On that note, did Hamas fire rockets into civilian areas, or did they not? I just kinda wonder because I don't recollect you ever mentioning that.

it's against the Geneva conventions to use white phosphorus on civilians, where civilians live. Israel has been guilty of this more than once.

probably because only 4 israeli civilians have actually died vs close to 2000 Palestinians.. .. taking priority over what is most tragic.

Ah, so your legal position is that killing four civilians is OK, but killing 2000 is a war crime?

What's the cutoff? 100? 250? 500?

THIS PHOTO SHOWS IT BEING USED OVER A RESIDENTIAL AREA, IN CASE YOUR EYES AREN'T SO GOOD.




This calls for a Colpy reality check.

it's not a legal position, more of a moral position. 2000 civilians take priority over 4.
Hamas rockets isn't a significant enough of an excuse to be killing civilians the way Israel has.

Ah, so invoking the Conventions is a moral thing, not a legal thing? OK, I can work with that.

So, your moral position is that being a vicious, murderous incompetent who only manages to kill four people is fine and dandy, but being a vicious, murderous competent who kills hundreds is EEEEEE-VIL?

Can't say I really understand your morality, but I don't wanna impose nothing on y'all.

Yawn - Conventional warfare vs terrorist urban warfare, which is what Hamas does.. hiding among the people, hiding arms, guns and ammo in sensitive areas, such as hospitals, schools and so on.

Just like an Israeli settlement in West Bank Palestine whose sole purpose is a State funded Israeli terrorist outpost surrounded by women and kids as a human shield.

I guess you advocate showers for Jews then, right Tecumsehsbones?

Oh yeah, I forgot, with you, Christians and Jews are the enemy, so my question is answered.
Considering the showers were fake and they were part of the sympathy campaign that got Jews the 'land of Israel' you should be grateful. You seem to be as fond of Christians as you are Muslims and Jews can do no wrong and you are the non-racist one in the group? That's a lot of posts you having a bad day?

Pounding Gaza because they are Muslims and giving brand new war equipment to ISIS (Israeli Service is Sweet) because they are 'your Muslims' is going to make for some very bad PR.

And Katyusha rockets on civilians isn't. Yeah, I got your drift.
You are aware that this 'upgrade for Hamas' just happened in time to test out the new Iron Dome missiles developed to intercept this very size. Before that the grad rocket was the one being used and the Iron Dome funding was for that size rocket. So far it is 10% effective which means it's useless.

The map below shows that even the 'ungraded rockets' are symbolic in that they cannot travel far enough and more importantly not one has has an exploding warhead and do you think a 'mortal enemy' would forget to put that part on or, wait for it, . . . Israeli security grabbed that part but missed the missile part itself.
Sooner or later a lie is going to be impossible to hide and when a liar is found out it is not the ones that have been calling them a liar that are the maddest it is the ones who swore up and down that they were not liars.



Yeah, yeah,in a retort to dumbeaver advocating Gas Showers for Jews in Gaza.. :roll:
This is a typical tactic of the collective. The last time it was Iran saying that this government in Israel will not survive the pages of time got twisted into death to all Jews worldwide or some such thing.
That's how it happens, first a little fib and then you need one to cover that one up and pretty soon not one thing is a pure fact anymore yet you expect the world to ignore that as it is being done for our own good. If somebody needs to grow up it starts with you being the first instead of the last.
