* Israel - Cluster bombs.
Apparently (as you probably know) the Israelis, during the last few days of their attempt to demolish the infrastructure of Lebanon, hurled an astonishing number of cluster bombs into the south of Lebanon as a kind of 'something to remember us by' parting gift. These unexploded bombs kill 3 or 4 people a day. The Israelis response to the query, 'What was all that about then?' is merely to point out that cluster bombs are not illegal (that is, if you are a nation state and have cluster bombs the rest of the worlds nations say that's OK).

* Cluster bombs are basically booby traps designed to discourage curiosity about things you may find lying around on the ground. Some misguided people have asked the question, 'Is Israel justified in their use of this weapon in this particular case?'.
The answer to this question is 'Yes', because to disagree with the policies of the State of Israel is to be anti-Semitic, a racist, or so I have been informed by the Chief Rabbi in England. This is not a label you want in this country where such matters are likely to lead to an appearance in court.
