White Phosphorus over Gaza: The Geneva Treaty of 1980 stipulates that
white phosphorus should not be used as a weapon of war in civilian areas.
The Israelis are clearly using white phosphorus incendiary shells on the
civilian population of Gaza. This is just one of the egregious war crimes
being committed by the criminal regime headed by Ehud Olmert. Why is
Obama silent in the face of such obvious crimes? Will Ehud Olmert and Ehud
Barak end up in The Hague?

Israel rains fire on Gaza with phosphorus shells in these photos, which are clear evidence of war crimes being committed in real time. Why is President-elect Obama, who happens to share the same Hebrew name, i.e. Barak, as the Israeli leading this criminal assault, mute about the genocidal war crimes being committed by Israel in Gaza?
"Israel rains fire on Gaza with phosphorus shells" is the title of The Times (U.K.) article dated 5 January 2009. It describes the evidence that Israel is using white phosphorus shells on the defenseless civilians of the Gaza Strip in what is a clear-cut war crime:
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.
As the Israeli army stormed to the edges of Gaza City and the Palestinian death toll topped 500, the tell-tale shells could be seen spreading tentacles of thick white smoke to cover the troops advance.

It should be noted that the Israelis have been using these white phosphorus shells since the beginning of the aerial assault on Gaza, which is obvious from watching the television footage from the first week of the assault - before the ground invasion began. That is criminal, as the Times article notes. CNN International, for example, has shown many clips of the jellyfish-like tentacles of the phosphorus bombs raining down on Gaza, but has never discussed the use of this criminal weapon on the defenseless Palestinians.
