Israel has said it only deploys cluster bombs in accordance with international law-
\nbut what about American law that governed their sales to Israel?<\/p>\n
“Arms Export Control Act, Tittle 22, Sub Chapter 1, Section: 2754:
\nDefense articles and defense services shall be sold or leased by the United States
\nGovernment under this chapter to friendly countries solely for internal security.”<\/p>\n
David Siegel, of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, on its use of cluster munitions
\n“To halt Hezbollah’s unprovoked rocket attacks against our civilian population centers.”<\/p>\n
Let us have the whole truth David Siegal (the whole world was watching)
\nIsrael filed the FIRST rockets into Lebanon! The Israeli\/Lebanon war started over
\ntwo Israeli soldiers being taken as hostages and Israel came down with the
\nvengence of a God – destroying infrastructure and 1,000’s of Lebanese lives,
\nand a few Israeli lives.<\/p>\n
“In November 2006 , a new international law came into force requiring countries to
\nundertake or facilitate clearance of explosive remnants of war and to provide
\ninformation on location of explosive remnants of war in order to make this
\nclearance possible, but the law includes no specific obligations on cluster
\nmunitions, which are not mentioned in the text of the instrument.”<\/p>\n
That chicken won’t pluck! Cluster munitions leave “explosive remnants”.
\nNot only has Israel not complied with this international law,
\nthey still refuse to tell Lebanon where they burried land mines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
