WARNING: GRAPHIC VIDEO - Lebanese Doctor Says 'Phosphorus Weapons' Cause Suffering

[graymatter]

It's actually Iran = Hezbollah... Lebanon is just a stage for the play.

graymatter- ill give ya that one :thumbsup:

I'm pretty left wing usually but I have to back Israel on this one. Lesser of two evils maybe but when no-one else is doing anything about it....

[Aaron385]

hezballah actually has a bunch of teams of people operating underground with internet connections going on all the USA msg boards and trying to sway people to their side. I'd just have to bet that alot of these people that show up with 3 posts and just to talk about how terrible israel is (in bad english if you noticed) are probably hezballah.

[jamstigator]

Woohoo, a new conspiracy theory!

[birdgirl73]

Oh, God, not another conspiracy!!

Hmmm, somehow I don't imagine Hezbollah would bother infiltrating a cannabis site with people who didn't do well in English. They'd have to compete with too many plain old unaffiliated cannabis users to stand out!

I'm going to step out on a limb here and say that I have a hard time backing either side of the Israel-Hezbollah dispute. There's tremendously hurtful violence being instigated by both parties, and I find it hard to justify in any fashion. I don't say that because it's the safe stance to take but because I think anyone with any sense of something other than polarized righteous indignation must see that both sides ought to exercise restraint. Immediately.

LOL.....I'll give ya fore warning on this one here. I don't tolorate people pointing out members and calling them DEA, etc........in all fairness, your walking the fine line here. Hezbollah has by no means infiltrated Cannabis.com in order to recruit people to take up the cause.

lol.....What a sleeper cell that would be:
Hezbollah:We need you to go into action NOW.....plan C
Sleeper: Ahhhhh, o.k....right after this joint dude just got some fresh nugs:stoned:

Please, everyone.........HAVE A GOOD ONE!:thumbsup:

The point is Israel is using chemicals weapons, and against innocent women and children none the less. I've never liked the UN, but they would gain some points with me if they went into Israel and arrested generals, politicins, anyone involved with this war for war crimes.

and it's really kind of disturbing to hear excuses for the use of these, what can only be called, weapons of mass destruction...DU and white phosphorous...

all i hear is, they're so bad, so we've just GOT to drop these bombs on them that melt skin and give people cancer...to protect their freedom...

there's no justification for it on either side.

If they arrested generals and politicians for letting their troops use DU and phosphorus, they'd probably want to start the arresting in the U.S., since we pioneered the concept of using DU in munitions. Britain, France and the Soviet Union all also make DU munitions. They're probably sold to anyone who wants to buy them. Their purpose isn't for civilians though, they're for piercing hardened targets, a cheaper alternative to tungsten, albeit a more dangerous one. However, in the context of bullets, well...I dunno. I mean, how much care do you take with people you're trying to kill? Should we issue the enemy flak jackets and kevlar AND promise not to use depleted uranium THEN try to kill them? If they harm OUR troops, which they might, that's a totally different issue. If that's the case, they should be voluntarily banned immediately.

As for as white phosphorus, "Use of white phosphorus against military targets (outside civilian areas) is not specifically banned by any treaty." Sooo...

One might contend that lots of Lebanon is a civilian area. But if that's so, then why are militants firing weapons from those areas, mostly at civilians elsewhere? Doesn't armed conflict in an area, by both sides, mean that A) this is no longer a civilian area; and B) wake up, civilians, it's time to get out of here?

It's all moot anyway. Israel is obviously determined to destroy as much as they can of Hezbullah: infrastructure, militants, weapons, vehicles, buildings. I'm not gonna argue with that either, because I remember the day Hezbullah blew up 241 innocent civilians...Americans. I'm deeply sorry that the Lebanese let militant extremists occupy their country, and as a result, civilians are dying and suffering. Maybe next time, they'll be a little more cautious about letting extremists call the shots in their country.
