Why, i haven't stated a number, i have asked a question; that being how many rockets COULD have been fired in the one attack last january. the obvious inference from myself being that it would be very very few when considered against the total number fired against israel in the last few years.

Why is my geography bad, it's hard to tell because your skill at linking is even worse, but i'm going out on a limb to guess that it is because i am using gaza figures when discussing the number of attacks from Lebanon........ so what?

Typical.

I strongly advice you not to follow the link to the lifeleak-video because it's quite gruesome.

edit, lol, the socialist party naturally put it on their blog, when it turned out it was a fake it was still Israel's fault because they don't allow journalists.

How little has socialism changed since the thirties.

Phosphorous? Nice...

Not, I hasten to add, it is being used against the populace. No - it is being fired to screen troops where the populace happens to be, which is completely different. And hence not a war crime.

In fact, Israel isn't saying it is phosphorous... but they're also not saying what it is.

One of the most densely populated placed on the planet where the people can't even leave if they wanted to are having canisters of munitions fired at or near them (I doubt where the Palestinians are matters that much) that on contact with the skin causes chemical burns that will descend to the bone.

Looks like flares to me

What are flares usually made from? Phosphorous. Rather large flares. Don't appear to stay in the sky as disperse in different areas of the city. World War 1 flares were better than that - as an explanation it doesn't stand scrutiny.

That might be so these look much cooler

As if the IDF didn't have a very lenghty history of what might politely be termed "intentional carelessness" when it comes to Arab civilian casualties... the cynical would also add description like "malign neglect".
Hard to term the rather unrestrained use of tanks, air strikes etc. in combat in residential areas anything more diplomatic, anyway, without going into out-and-out euphemisms and newspeak.

And that's for the period after they stopped playing at what were little short of flat out death squads...
