I swim with sharks in the neon dark
I'm quick to make a joke
Stay too busy to fall apart
Can't talk about it
But I can put it in a song
Maybe no one will get it
But at least they'll sing along
Any minute now, I know it's gonna blow up in my face
Slow dancing on land mines
It's only a matter of time
Oh but I can't resist, oh I can't resist
Slow-dancing on land mines
Love is a target with my heart painted on it
Love is a target with my heart painted on it

Sarajevo Airport, August 8, 1997 - Princess Diana, The Princess of Wales, arrived in Bosnia and Hercegovina as the guest of Ken Rutherford of the Landmines Survivors Network and Norwegian People’s Aid. The Princess visited Tuzla to meet victims of landmines on a tour that served to remind the world of the continuing danger of land mines in BiH and elsewhere.

It has been a while but I am back on my quest to cover all of @vexwerewolf's Lancer Memes in my best impression of Dave's Spokesman (which is probably just me trying to deliver everything in the style of the character instead of going for a voice copy). Sorry this took so long, but I had some issues such as my computer's hard drive dying. Today I covered the Iskander, although I did skip the little bit at the end where Vex discusses taking a break to write a campaign:

You want to do WHAT?!
Secure the homeland?!
From WHAT?!
From WHOM?!
What.
30 to 50 feral HOGS????!!!!!!!!!
Sauron’s armies?
Is this a side effect of your gun worship acting up AGAIN?!
What, are you gonna start buying landmines, mortars and BM21s next?!
Away with that shite!
Fucking siege mentality bullshit!
The US-Mexico border isn’t some frontier warzone or no-man’s land. And there isn’t any perpetually besieged fortresses keeping watch or any Night’s Watch bullshit what you and many other fragile, (usually) white, middle aged mediocrities (and their self-loathing useful idiots in other communities) might otherwise like to fantasize about in perpetual paranoia and eternal derangement!
(I’m saying this as someone who hates the Mexican cartels btw)
Oh no!
The feral hogs are coming!

Six more provinces are scheduled to be declared landmine free in 2023, including Kampong Speu, Kratie, Kampong Thom, Siem Reap, Mondulkiri, and Ratanakkiri provinces, after 12 provinces were previously declared mine free.
Senior Minister Ly Thuch, First Deputy Chairman of the Mine Authority, said in a press conference on the morning of July 18, that for more than 30 years, Cambodia has been very successful in clearing mines on more than 2,794 square meters with millions of munitions, including more than 1 million anti-personnel bombs (1,177,000), more than 26,000 anti-tank mines, which left more than 60,000 people affected by explosive remnants of war.
More than 4 million explosive remnants have been found by the mine authorities over the past 30 years and have been completely destroyed while 2,794 square kilometers have been handed over to farmers.
Senior Minister said that so far, 12 provinces have been declared mine free, while in 2023, the mine free status will increase to 18 provinces.
Among the provinces announced, some provinces have received the support of the Prime Minister’s project, called “Providing Safe Ground, Creating Smiles” project, up to 3,663 rounds of ammunition were found, including 50 mines and 7,000 unexploded ordnance, and nearly 200,000 people were affected.
The remaining 358 square kilometres of landmines are minefields to be cleared in the upcoming seventh mandate; cluster munitions cover about 700 square kilometres; and explosive remnants of war cover about 500 square kilometres. The mine authority plans to clear 358 square kilometres, which requires $78 million.
The senior minister confirmed that the results of demining from 1992 to June 2023 under the auspices of Australia, Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, China, Ireland, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Hungary, India, Canada, the United Nations, the EU, Spain, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Hungary and Denmark, as well as civil society organizations, the private sector and philanthropists.

Embedded explosives in the ground are pretty much the definition of landmines. The Jenin terrorists are burying landmines in their own town, where their own people could be killed.
If the mines can be triggered by a person, they are considered illegal under the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention.
It sure looks like many of these IEDs can indeed be triggered by someone stepping on them. Here is a relatively small one being detonated by the IDF.
I have yet to see a condemnation by any NGO or state about Palestinians putting their own people at risk of being blown up by these IEDs. 
Israel's clearing of the mines is considered a bigger crime than the mines themselves. 
Which tells you a lot.
UPDATE: The "State of Palestine" acceded to the 1997 Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention, which proves yet again that the only reason they signed these conventions was to be accepted as a state, but had no intention to actually do anything to adhere to the various conventions' rules. (h/t Ian)
