Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Monday, January 26, 2009

Israel appointed a team of international-law experts led by the nation's justice minister to defend its soldiers against any war-crime charges that may follow its 22-day battle against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. "Officers and soldiers sent on the mission in Gaza must know that they are safe from various tribunals and that Israel will help and defend them just as they protected us with their bodies during the military operation," Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said in remarks before the weekly Cabinet meeting today.

Israel admits using white phosphorus. (again)

Israel recently used White Phosphorus again in its attack on Gaza. This is a chemical weapon, which kill indiscriminately. Chemical weapons were used as a pretext to invade Iraq. It was a line repeated by William Safire and Judith Miller of the the New York Times. As it turns out Iraq didn't have any chemical weapons. But the US media had a frenzy trying to claim that they did.

Israel uses them freely and the press doesn't even mention t in the US.

"Well, hello there Irony! Come on in and have a seat. Even YOU ain't gonna believe this shit........."

These people should BURN over this......

And everyone knows that all weapons used by HamAss cowards follow the Geneva convention. I have always had trouble finding certain parts of the Geneva convention that outline the proper use of suicide bombs and firing missiles from inside civilian areas and under UN flags

Wish I could think of the right flag -- dead on, but too dark to be funny.

And everyone knows that all weapons used by HamAss cowards follow the Geneva convention. I have always had trouble finding certain parts of the Geneva convention that outline the proper use of suicide bombs and firing missiles from inside civilian areas and under UN flags

Didn't your mommy teach you that two wrongs don't make a right?

Besides, I thought we were talking about Israel?

Way to look guilty, Israel.

I have always had trouble finding certain parts of the Geneva convention that outline the proper use of suicide bombs and firing missiles from inside civilian areas and under UN flags

Its right next to the section permitting the bombing or shooting of UN staff and structures whenever you want as long as you first claim somebody is firing at you from them. Sub-section B allows the "okay, so I was wrong", pardon.

so what isreal ain't goin to pay un anymore attention then the hamas do

I have always had trouble finding certain parts of the Geneva convention that outline the proper use of suicide bombs and firing missiles from inside civilian areas and under UN flags.

After a bit of digging, I was able to find this in the Official UN-Approved Guide to Insurgency and Counter-Insurgency:

...

Section 3:
Suicide bombing is okay, as long as you don't wrap the bomb in shrapnel and clearly announce yourself as a suicide bomber in the language spoken by your targets, giving all civilians a minimum of 30 seconds to exit the area. Unguided missiles are okay, since it's not really your fault where they land. Kidnapping is okay, too, as long as you don't sexually abuse the person you kidnap or apply greater than 60 volts (DC) to the testicles of the kidnapped individual.

...

Section 7:
White phosphorus is okay, as long as the remains of the dead are charred to the point where you're not sure whether or not they were even human to begin with. Shelling UN buildings is okay, as long as they're empty and you pay for the damage (plus a little extra for the... eh... "Malaria" fund). Blockading food, water, and medical supplies is okay, as long as doing so creates enough corpses for your enemies to eat once they get hungry enough.


Do you guys ever read the headlines and just think..

No shit Sherlock!

Israel does not give a shit about the Palestinians

All they care about is their own people.

Which I do not blame them for considering the hand history has dealt them.

Honestly short of executing PoW's I don't see the use of any weapons system as a war crime.

The whole idea is silly.

I bet you any size mound of cash you choose that if you were to put a rifle in the hands of those who are complaining about war crimes then told them to storm a defended building and gave them the option of having it first softened with Wille Pete (white phosphorous) either from rockets or bombs, they wouldn't be anywhere near as high minded.

This is armchair quarterbacking at its worst.

And that quarterbacking is the express purpose of the rocket campaign that Hamas has been conducting. It isn't an effective campaign other than to goad the IDF into coming into Gaza and stomping around for a bit. It's a PR nightmare for Israel and you can guarantee that Hamas looks at the deaths of the civilians as the cost of doing business.

The advice I would give to all of the humanitarian hand wringers out there worrying about the "women and the children" is this.

War is hell.

Permissible tactics of terrorism permitted under the Geneva convention.

Suicide bombs are permissible so long as they are only detonated in areas where the body count will be the greatest, night clubs and restaurants are suggested especially if small children are inside. In order to be legal however the bomber must be out of uniform and yell Allah Akbar real loud 2 seconds prior to detonation.

Rocket Missal and Mortar attacks are permissible so long as the target is civilian and not military, also all weapons must be fired from civilian areas, UN headquarters or at least from underneath your wife's dress while she is holding your children this
Is to ensure RETURN FIRE and great photo ops for journalists.

Terrorist are encouraged to use hospitals and ambulances to transport personnel but they must be wearing civilian cloths or at least out of uniform, a doctor or nurse uniform is suggested.

israel and its lovers such as ataxpayer
will always defend israel by how bad hamas is

to bad israel is just as bad as a terrorist organization.

to even be compared that way to a terrorist organization should be disgrace enough for israel to try its war criminals

but a sin in the name of israel is not a sin
a rape in the name of israel is not a rape
a flat out murder in the name of israel is not flat out murder

Hey my old friend Klifferd I see you are still defending HamAss and the cowardly pussies that place their own women and children in harms way on purpose to get photo ops of dead babies. Klifferd if someone was shooting at you would you just stand there like a coward and do nothing or would you RETURN FIRE like a real man with some balls. I have no respect, tolerance or sympathy for HamAss or the stupid asses that elected them to power they love war and openly boast this war will never end because HamAss wants the carnage to continue as long as possible. There continuation of this war is openly supported by people such as yourself giving HamAss even more reasons to keep on killing you and idiots like you are part of the problem. Why not pull your head out of your ass and condemn HamAss for a perpetual war they openly boast will continue forever as Israel has no right to even exist. Do you not want peace in Gaza, this should be real real simple even for people like you. DO NOT SHOOT FIRE ON OR BLOW UP ANYTHING AND ISRAEL WILL NOT RETURN FIRE...

If Isreal gave back all the land they STOLE, Hamas wouldn't have anything to be upset about either!!

So everyone is going by a headline and not clicking the link I see. I can tell that because the link is not to any story at all, but rather says:

This is really funny! Obviously any headline that is against Israel MUST be true.

Iran, HamAss, Hezbollah and many others would disagree they have all openly stated Israel itself has no right to even exist. Land for peace is a myth, in my opinion Israel should give nothing back that was conquered in a battle started by other nations. Women and children on both sides will continue to die so long as people like you and Klifferd defend terrorist cowards that love war and death. The masses are told to keep fighting and you will go straight to paradise and collect seventy virgins, a real bitch if you are a female suicide bomber and your families here on earth will be paid cash for your martyrdom...

"to even be compared that way to a terrorist organization should be disgrace enough for israel to try its war criminals"

Why would they be embarassed by some jackass throwing around the word "terrorist" carelessly?

Israel has been more restrained than any other country on the planet would have been over the last 60 years. When the US defeated Japan and Japan refused to face reality, did the US give them 60 years to grow up? Did we allow them to attack us and conscript generations of Americans for 60 years while we waited for the enemy to figure out that it lost? No, we nuked the shit out of them and we were right to do it.

The Palestinians collectively function as a pack of self destructive retards and to pretend otherwise only encourages more of the same. They need to stop acting like children and face reality.

Dead balls accurate...

Westerners have a tendency to project their ideational process upon others, and then proceed as if that is reality. The Islamics have different values, and Islam is a martial and suicide cult determined to dominate the world. That they do not now do so is a logistical problem for them rather than being attributable to their restraint.

Mohammed the warrior recommends hudna while you better your position in the unceasing war that ends only when you triumph.

The West is unwilling to accept the premises upon which the Islamics operate, and indulge them as if they have other goals. The only alternative to victory and subjugation of the West that can interdict the Islamics' drive is their defeat, whatever that entails.

Islam does not seek peace. Islam seeks domination. Good luck if you don't get it.

The demographics of Arab fertility in Gaza will only result in more intense crises unless the UN stops treating the people there as refugees who must be supported in place. Relocation, repatriation of the Arab interlopers, who came as conquerors returning them to their place of origin, Saudi Arabia, is probably the only effective long-term solution.

Insofar as "war crimes" are concerned, this attempt to exert extra-geographical jurisdiction is farcical. Israel should retaliate in kind, and enact extra-geographical laws making it a capital offense for anyone anywhere in the world to accuse, charge, indict, or in anyway punish any Israeli for war crimes, and to render anyone who has the temerity to so attempt to do harm to an Israeli as subject to execution.

Hey terrorist bombings as in Spain, "fatwahs" everywhere have proven a deterrent to Western action. These bloviating Westerners have shown that they modify their proclivities in response to personal threats to their ease and comfort. Some of these "armchair quarterbacks" might find facing personal risk to be a reality check and decide to find another hobby to pursue other than hand-wringing over purported "war crimes."
