"Israel used cluster grenades on civilians"

Check out this piece of objectivity and see if anyone has concern for ball-bearing filled rockets going the other way?

It is Al Jazeera but Americans doing the complaining.

Human Rights Watch is a commie org. Why our government lets these assholes in any war zone is beyond me. It's sort of like not cleaning the Justice and State Depts. of the Clinton people.

From the article (according to Al-Jihad TV's site):

""Cluster munitions are unacceptably inaccurate and unreliable weapons when used around civilians," Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch executive director, said in a statement.

"They should never be used in populated areas.""

But inaccurate Katyushas, infinitely more powerful than a grenade, are lobbed by the thousands into heavily civilian-populated Israeli cities, such as Haifa and the resort towns along the coast. But those are no problem to Human Rights Watch. In fact, this guy was interviewed on the radio the other day, and he actually said that the Katyushas weren't nearly as deadly as the Israeli munitions because they aren't launched at any particular target. I guess Israelis aren't a target.

The hypocrisy and spin is mind-numbing.
