Israel has plenty of cluster bombs and Biden is sending them more, Israel is already being accused of using them.

“Is using them a war crime?
The use of cluster bombs itself does not violate international law, but using them against civilians can be a violation. As in any strike, determining a war crime requires looking at whether the target was legitimate and if precautions were taken to avoid civilian casualties.”

“The part of international law where this starts playing [a role], though, is indiscriminate attacks targeting civilians,” Human Rights Watch’s associate arms director Mark Hiznay told The Associated Press news agency. “So that’s not necessarily related to the weapons, but the way the weapons are used.”

They just don’t know it well enough yet. Give it time. They too will find out that it is a hangar queen full of quirks.

That is much of the problem. It is not run by engineers at all is it?

Not just smart but with a passion and talent. Great engineers live to build and solve problems.
