US investigates whether Israel violated deal on cluster bombs

Even Papa Zionist could not overlook the crimes of their illegitimate child in Mashriq e Wusta.
This news item is another example of Zionist war crimes against Muslims. One day these Nazis will pay for every crime they are committing against us.

The US is investigating whether Israel’s use of American-made cluster bombs in Lebanon violated an agreement that the weapons not be used in populated areas, officials said yesterday.

Unexploded “bomblets” from cluster munitions have emerged as the most lethal obstacle to the return of refugees to southern Lebanon after the month-long war between Israel and Hizbullah. The UN said the fist-sized bombs had been found in nearly 300 locations and about two-thirds were American-made.

“We’ve heard the allegations that these munitions were used in Lebanon and we’re looking into it,” a state department spokesman said yesterday.

Another official confirmed that the sale of cluster bombs was conditional on Israel using them only against military targets in the open, away from civilian areas.

Details of that undertaking - dating back to the first sales of cluster munitions in the 1970s - are classified, but they are reported to include a pledge only to use them against organised armies and clearly defined military targets.

Israel’s use of cluster bombs in its 1982 invasion of Lebanon provoked a congressional enquiry, which concluded Israel had broken the conditions on their sale. Ronald Reagan’s administration then imposed a six-year ban on deliveries of the munitions to Israel.

Six year is funny. Isn’t it? What happened on the seventh year which changed Papa Nazi’s decision?
May be Papa said, oh we were just kidding. Here you go, son.

^^ Papa did say that and a lot more.

Israel is guilty of more than just dropping cluster bombs on populated areas, there is a huge list of crimes against humanity which can be read in some of Noam Chomsky's books. Incidently, that "accidental" bombing of UN truck/building during this current war isn't such an isolated case of ignorance but a repeated offence; same thing happened during 1971/72 war where Isreal attacked a UN envoy killing several soldiers.

Furthermore, Israel showed no respect for the hand that feeds it either; in 1967 war Israel deliberately attacked and crippled USS Liberty, a US Navy ship, while killing several sailors. Details can be found in "A body of secrets" about the NSA.

Did or will any of these events effect Israel in the long term? Ideally? NO!!!!
