The AP photo above shows what appears to be a white phosphorus shell fired into Gaza, as was used by Israel in
Lebanon. White phosphorus is an indiscriminate killer that ignites once it is exposed to oxygen, producing such heat that it bursts into a yellow flame and
produces a dense white smoke.
It causes painful burn injuries to exposed
human flesh, as discovered by Lebanon's Children at the hands of Israeli Phosphorus Bombs in 2006.
White Phosphorus is considered a chemical
weapon by most governments around the world. Its use in civilian areas is banned by the Geneva
Treaty of 1980. The United Nations considers such weapons illegal.
I would hate to see a nuke being sent to Israel. Too many people would die and on top of that 90% of my family are there and there is too much history there as well. It would be a shame to see all that wasted. We should all learn from America's mistake when it comes to using nukes.

Yea and on top of that, 1 doesn't seem to be enough. a minimum of 10,000 to be considered a gold member.
Would it be wise to destroy Palestine, Jordan, Lebannon, Syria and Egypt just to give Israel a taste of it's own medicine? A nuke is not a back yard weapon and is a toy you do not want to play with, within 2,000 miles of any people you do not want to kill.
Israel might have nukes but they have no potential enemy far enough from them were they can use them without destroying themselves. I have often wondered about the reason Israel even wanted nukes, about the only safe target for them would be the USA.
