This goes on for another 10 pages if you google "IDF flechette" Other keywords will get you slightly different results.
I am embarresed as an American that these weapons, supplied by us, are used in this manner. And the use may well be against international law.
Kill the bad guys, not everyone in the neighbothood.
I hope this lets you see where I am coming from, based on international news stories and from known 'critical' sources.
I don't believe their BS stories about the IDF. Where are the credible photographs of flechette injuries. #2 If these flechette rounds have been used it is very very rare and they are not used on innocent civilians but ones in fighting or in rioting mode

The above site seems credible to me and the IDF use of flechette rounds are justified in the rare instances cited. These maggots fire on the IDF from civilian populations. The IDF takes action. In your book they should do nothing.
I see IDF use of flechette in the recent Hizb'Allah war as justified. What do you think?
Meanwhile, you can't say SQUAT against Hiz launching attacks from among civilians - a direct war crime - which forces Israel to cause harm to civilians to get at the military targets in their midst - because Hiz wants just that, civilian casualties, so nitwits like you can gripe about horrible Israel.
