The Israeli military is reportedly using napalm-like white phosphorus shells in its all-out attack on Gaza, according to the conservative Times of London. The phosphorus in the smoke-emitting shells causes agonizing, unquenchable burns, sometimes searing flesh right down to the bone.

These savage tools of terror are "legal" when used as smokescreens to mask military operations, although their use as an offensive weapon is war crime. This is a rather ludicrous distinction when the shells are fired into heavily populated civilian areas, exploding and spraying phosphorus in all directions. Anyone who orders their use on cities and refugee camps knows with iron certainty that civilians will be burned, maimed and killed by this chemical weapon. That is to say, they know they will be murdering and mutilating innocent people in the most gruesome manner -- and they give the order anyway.

America's leaders also ordered the murder and mutilation of innocent civilians with chemical weapons in the brutal razing of Fallujah in late 2004 (among many other places). There, in addition to the wide use of "Willy Pete" in the city -- where tens of thousands of people had been sealed off after more than 300,000 had been driven from their homes -- American forces also poured in massive amounts of depleted uranium munitions, thermobaric explosives and jellied gasoline. The Pentagon also declared the entire city a free-fire zone, giving soldiers carte blanche to shoot and kill anyone they saw.

Fallujah was a new Guernica for the 21st century, an abominable crime that should have shamed the country for generations -- yet it passed virtually unnoticed by the American press and public, except for a couple of weeks of stories about the great military victory, and the occasional follow-up from embedded parrots of the powerful telling us how swell life is in the city these days, as America helps it rise from the ashes of its destruction by, er, America. (You can read similar reports in the slavish Russian press about the "new flowering" of Grozny. Apparently, the bones of slaughtered civilians make excellent fertilizer.)

Now it's Gaza's turn for the chemical weapon treatment, as the Times reports:

Israel is believed to be using controversial white phosphorus shells to screen its assault on the heavily populated Gaza Strip yesterday. The weapon, used by British and US forces in Iraq, can cause horrific burns but is not illegal if used as a smokescreen.
 
Jeez, dude, give it a rest. You sound like the sissies on here:

Gaza and Israel conflict

Times Online said:
The use of the weapon in the Gaza Strip, one of the world’s mostly densely population areas, is likely to ignite yet more controversy over Israel’s offensive, in which more than 2,300 Palestinians have been wounded.

The Geneva Treaty of 1980 stipulates that white phosphorus should not be used as a weapon of war in civilian areas, but there is no blanket ban under international law on its use as a smokescreen or for illumination. However, Charles Heyman, a military expert and former major in the British Army, said: “If white phosphorus was deliberately fired at a crowd of people someone would end up in The Hague. White phosphorus is also a terror weapon. The descending blobs of phosphorus will burn when in contact with skin.”

UGH, these disgusting jew-hating communists. What they and the fairies over at the UN (Geneva Treaty? Give my a fucking break) don't understand is that all there is in Gaza is a bunch of sick animals, and they will be slaughtered accordingly and with no prejudice. Israel must NOT rest until Olmert can drink the blood of every single man, woman, and child in that god-forsaken terrorist haven. Only then can they be free.

Besides, America and Britain also used white phosphorus. That must mean that it is perfectly humane, legal, and reasonable. In fact, it is the only responsible thing to use, obviously, if 'we' are using it.

Israel denies white phosphorus shelling

Israel denied claims Monday night that it had used white phosphorous shells in its assault on the Gaza Strip, resisting claims that the Israeli military had contravened international conventions by using the weapons in heavily populated areas....

...

Some military experts insisted that, judging from the pictures, some form of white phosphorous might have been in use.

“Although, I can’t say with 100 per cent certainty that these are classic white phosphorous rounds, they appear to have some form of white phosphorous content,” said Charles Heyman, a former editor of Jane’s World Armies. “If that is the case, this is bad news and the Israelis will lose out in terms of their international standing.”

According to Dr Sandra Bell, an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London, white phosphorous is regularly used in battlefield situations and has been employed, for example, by US forces in Iraq. “These shells can be used as an effective smokescreen to obscure the advance of ground forces,” she said. “They can also be used to illuminate very large areas of a battlefield at night.”

Dr Bell said that the use of white phosphorous shells in a battlefield situation was legal,
and that there was no blanket ban under international law on their use as a smokescreen or for illumination. However, she noted that, according to the Geneva Convention, these substances are banned as a weapon of war in civilian areas because they burn skin. If the munitions were proven to contain white phosphorous, this could open Israel up to criticism because the Gaza Strip is densely populated.
 
Although White Phosphor is legal, I would be hard pressed to understand how anyone can make a white phosphor smoke screen in Gaza without burning people.
In light of their beeing much less aggressive smoke screen substances, I do not really see a good explanation for using it.

by protected you mean they should be held in a school building that was wired with explosives so they would die for Hamas propaganda purposes

right?

What if Hamas dumped all their rockets in the sea tomorrow? Would Gazans enjoy the same freedoms as other nations? Would they be able to open their sea port to foreign ships and rebuild and operate their airport? Would they be able to import and export and carry on trade and develop their economy and prosper like other countries?

Would they be allowed to exploit and develop their offshore gas field? Would their fishermen be allowed to fish in unpolluted waters? Would their young people be able to come and go and take up places at foreign universities?

Would Israel clear out of Gazan airspace permanently? Would the Israeli navy cease its piracy and stay out of Palestinian territorial waters? Would you and I be able to visit Gaza direct?

Fat chance. None of this would suit Israel. So Gazans would be no better off. Their tormented half-existence would continue.

There are no rockets coming out of the West Bank. Yet the illegal Israeli occupation there continues and so does the ethnic cleansing, the land theft, the illegal settlements, the colonization, the demolition of Palestinian homes, the throttling of the economy, the abduction and 'administrative detention' of civilians and the massive interference with freedom of movement. Nothing has changed for West Bank Palestinians who DO NOT fire rockets. There is no sign of an end to their misery.

The bloody assault on Gaza therefore has much more to do with Israel's ambition to expand racial dominance in the Holy Land than crude and erratic rocket-fire. Hamas and the Palestinians holed up in Gaza are simply in the way of the Grand Plan and have to be removed or totally subdued.

The international community needs to keep their eye on the ball - the big issue – which is the ending of the occupation and Israel's withdrawal to recognized pre-67 borders as required by international law. In short, they need to stop wringing their hands and start delivering justice, which is long overdue.

Palestinians in Gaza will hardly wish to give up armed resistance until they receive copper-bottomed guarantees of a normal life unmolested by Israel... and see concrete evidence of it.

If Palestinians/Hamas threw their weapons into the sea, the wall would come down, as would the checkpoints. Within short order Israel would return to '67 borders, if not the weight of the world, including US would be down upon them.

If Israel threw their weapons into the sea, they'd be attacked from all sides. By the time anyone would come to their aid, it would be moot. Including the US.

It's very doubtful that the victims of israeli savagetry are killing their own children for propaganda. To suggest such a thing pretty much confirms they will resort to any lie in a freudal attempt to justify the mass killings they are doing now, and did in Russia when Stalin (Jew) murderer more than one hundred million people.The truth will be standing long after all the lie are exposed.

thus proving you are an idiot and an antisemite because those are the FACTS JACK
 
The ridiculous anti-semite ploy, and the De Soto have more in common than you might think.
