[Vision2020] Right-mind, us Slams Emeritus Professor, Shaikh M. Ghazanfar

[Dr. S.M. Ghazanfar]

Interesting observation: "Bless his heart. Moscow’s Emeritus Professor 
must be getting his fake news these days from the far-far left, out of 
orbit progressive websites. He says that the USA, under Gen. Mattis, has 
used chemical weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan. And that Israel has been 
using chemical weapons in Gaza!"
Here are some sources for Dale and others to explore--right-mindedly, 
but more importantly, _open-mindedly_; no "fake-news," "no alternative 
facts," but _absolutely verifiable facts_.  Given his meritorious career 
with the U.S. Navy, however, one would have thought Dale would be quite 
familiar with these facts.
(1) A few sources that provide evidence about Israel's use of chemical 
weapons: 
http://www.clevelandchallenger.com/u-s-media-suppressed-2009-un-report-showing-israel-using-chemical-weapons-against-palestinians/; 

Haaretz, 10/22/06; New York Times, 1/21/09; "Israel used depleted 
uranium shells in Syria," Jerusalem Post, 5/6/13; also see 
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/may/06/syria-israel-bombing-moral-relativism;
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/greg-mitchell/evidence-grows-that-israe_b_158176.html. 
As for Israel's stockpile of nuclear/chemical weapons, see this BBC 
documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk_6CCZ0gCY
*A must--The following website provides pictures of Gaza children, 
killed by Israeli chemical weapons (phosphorous gas), summer 2014........*

(2) As for Fallujah (Iraq), see Wikipedia (with numerous references): 
"Fallujah, the Hidden 
Massacre"--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallujah,_The_Hidden_Massacre; 
See Newsweek, ll/22/04;
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/11/29/opinion/shake-and-bake.html?_r=0;https://verbena19.wordpress.com/category/incendiary-weaponschemical-weapons/ 
; The Fallujah operation was called, "Operation Phanthom Fury").  Also 
see The Independent (UK), 11/8/05; The Guardian, 11/15/05.
Also check Amnesty International reports, Human Rights Watch, Israel's 
Human-Rights group B-Tselem, Red Cross, etc.
One can also further explore these issues on various websites and other 
sources (including books, professional articles).
