Saudi Arabia has been accused of using ‘cluster-bombs’ in Yemen:<\/p>\n

A human rights group said it has “credible evidence” the Saudi-led coalition has used banned cluster bombs supplied by the United States in airstrikes against Houthi forces in Yemen.<\/p>\n

Human Rights Watch (HRW) said Sunday cluster bombs pose “long-term dangers” to civilians and are prohibited by a 2008 treaty adopted by 116 countries. Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the U.S., however, did not adopt the treaty.<\/p>\n

HRW said photographs, video and other evidence have emerged since mid-April indicating that cluster munitions have been used in “recent weeks” in coalition airstrikes in Yemen’s northern Saada Governorate, the traditional Houthi stronghold bordering Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

The human rights group said it has ascertained through “analysis of satellite imagery” that the cluster bombs appeared to have landed on “a cultivated plateau, within 600 meters of several dozen buildings in four to six village clusters.”<\/p>\n

“Saudi-led cluster munition airstrikes have been hitting areas near villages, putting local people in danger,” said Steve Goose, HRW arms director. “These weapons should never be used under any circumstances. Saudi Arabia and other coalition members and the supplier, the U.S., are flouting the global standard that rejects cluster munitions because of their long-term threat to civilians.”<\/p>\n

HRW said cluster munitions contain scores of submunitions designed to explode after spreading out over a wide area, putting anybody in the area at the time of the attack “at risk of death or injury.”<\/p>\n

The group said many submunitions often do not explode, “becoming de factor landmines.”<\/p>\n

The munitions used in Yemen appeared to be the CBU-105 Sensor Fuzed Weapons supplied to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates by the U.S. “in recent years,” HRW said.<\/p>\n

The weapon is banned by the Convention on Cluster Munitions, but Washington permits its use and export because it boasts an unexploded ordnance rate of less than one percent.<\/p>\n

HRW called for that loophole to be closed and for deliveries of the weapons to cease. \u00a0http:\/\/www.voanews.com\/content\/hrw-saudi-led-airstrikes-use-banned-cluster-bombs\/2746512.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While the USA and Saudi Arabia want the world to think they have the moral highground in Yemen, the use of internationally-banned cluster bombs does not make them look good–it makes them look hypocritical.<\/p>\n

The Bible warns that ‘an hypocritical nation’ will be punished and taken over by a European power Isaiah 10:6; Daniel 11:39).\u00a0 The Bible also warns of an Arabic confederation that will be taken over (Daniel 11:40-43).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel<\/a> Are the Americans, Canadians, English, Scottish, Welsh, Australians, Anglo-Saxon (non-Dutch) Southern Africans, and New Zealanders descendants of Joseph? Where are the lost ten-tribes of Israel? Who are the lost tribes of Israel? What will happen to Jerusalem and the Jews in Israel? Will God punish the U.S.A., Canada, United Kingdom, and other Anglo-Saxon nations? Why might God allow them to be punished first?

\nWill the Anglo-Saxon Nations be Divided and Have People Taken as Slaves?<\/a> Will the lands of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand be divided?

\nThe Arab and Islamic World In the Bible, History, and Prophecy<\/a> The Bible discusses the origins of the Arab world and discusses the Middle East in prophecy. What is ahead for the Middle East and those who follow Islam? What about the Imam Mahdi? What lies ahead for Turkey, Iran, and the other non-Arabic Muslims? An item of possibly related interest in the Spanish language would be: L\u00edderes iran\u00edes condenan la hipocres\u00eda de Occidente y declaran que ahora es tiempo para prepararse para el Armaged\u00f3n, la guerra, y el Im\u00e1n Mahdi<\/a>.
\nIs the Future King of the South Rising Up?<\/a> Some no longer believe there needs to be a future King of the South. Others have many misunderstandings about him. Might Egypt, Islam, Iran, Arabs, or Ethiopia be involved? Might this King be called the Mahdi or Caliph? What does the Bible say?

\nObama Administration Pushing for an Islamic Empire?<\/a> Because of the rise of groups such as the Islamic State, the Obama Administration and others are pushing for a coalition of Arab nations along with Turkey. Does this resemble the final King of the South of Bible prophecy? Is there an Islamic antichrist? Does the Bible teach that terrorism and the sword will affect the USA and some of its allies? What does the Bible teach in Ezekiel about a confederation involving Egypt? Will an Arabic confederation end in destruction for those who strongly support it? Are the 10 nations in the Arab coalition the ten kings of Revelation 17:12-13? Are the 10 nations including the USA and Turkey the ten nations of Revelation 17:12-13? Who is? Was the pushing of the Obama Administration to do this predicted in 2009 in a writing by Dr. Thiel? What does the Bible show? are in the Middle East and North Africa that are part of the final \u201cKing of the South\u201d (Daniel 11:40-43) The Muslim Brotherhood wishes to have an Islamic empire with basically the same nations. This YouTube video explains what to expect from such a confederation.

What happens in the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord? Is this the time of the Gentiles? When is the earliest that the Great Tribulation can begin? What is the Day of the Lord? Who are the 144,000? Here is a version of the article in the Spanish language: \u00bfPuede comenzar la Gran Tribulaci\u00f3n en 2014 o 2015? \u00bfEs el Tiempo de los Gentiles?<\/a><\/em> You can also see the English language sermon video: The Great Tribulation from the Mount of Olives<\/a>.
