Throughout the Saudi war against Yemen, now in its seventh month, there have been a few shipments, by sea, of additional bombs and other equipment to the Saudi military. Suggesting the ever-escalating war may finally be taxing their inventories, Italy is reported to have shipped a large amount of additional bombs to the Saudis via commercial airline.
The shipment raises inevitable questions about the human rights consequences, particularly with the Saudis killing Yemeni civilians by the thousands over the course of this war, and seemingly making no serious effort to reduce the frequency of such incidents.
Though it’s impossible to know which of the bombings are carried out with which type of bombs, in recent weeks Saudi warplanes have hit multiple civilian targets, including a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders and a busload of civilians, adding to concerns about war crimes.
Amnesty International also reported the discovery of a Brazilian variant of the banned cluster bomb has been used in several airstrikes by some member of the Saudi-coalition, saying they’d wounded at least four civilians in Saada Province and had left unexploded bomblets strewn around farmland nearby.
Saudi Arabia previously denied using certain types of cluster bombs in the war, but has insisted that their use is not necessarily “illegal under international law.” This is indeed likely the case, though the use in civilian areas, which is seemingly every incident occurs, would definitely be banned.
In the worlds real politic the deaths of non important flesh that have no commercial value within them is of no concern;As the numbers killed will nevrr monetarily equal the paychecksvto white euro centric peacebloving peoples.
One bomb sold and exported allows a production line paycheck that can be taxed by the same national leaders who own the fsctories.
As white euros talk of humanity it seems they missed out on fact that even now their governments are removing their white butts in favor or brown immigrant ones, The very same ones they tried to kill with the bimbs their emploees once made.
Everybody is happy; weapons manufacturers, weapons dealers, Saudi kickback takers, etc. Only losers are the Yemeni and Saudi people, the former are dying and the latter are being cheated of their resources.
Shipping bombs by air freight seems pretty unlikely. It would be the height of stupidity to have high explosives moving through commercial airports full of civilians, and onto civilian aircraft. I'm not swallowing this one without much better confirmation than some obscure website.
The main point of the story, i.e.,, shipping bombs to drop on Yemeni civilians, is, of course, just another day at the office.
Most everyone who keeps abreast of the news is fully aware that this war on Yemen is because the new Saudi Dictator needs to instill fear in the hearts of his people and also needs to explode an abundance of Western war materials to instill affection in the hearts of a war loving Western society. Enough said.
what the hell is italy's beef?
What is the Vatican's response to the Italian government's support for war and death?
Perhaps the Syrian refugees should apply to the Holy See for citizenship (see: http://www.vatican.va/news_services/press/documen… ).
