Did Israel Use A Banned Weapon?

A set of images of burning residue and white rocket trails are part of what Amnesty International calls "indisputable proof" the Israeli military illegally used white phosphorous in Gaza. The smoke-producing and incendiary chemical is banned in civilian areas because of its intense heat and fumes, CBS News correspondent Allen Pizzey reports.

The Israelis admit firing 200 white phosphorous shells, but deny breaking international law.

The last bombing raid in one part of Gaza was a week ago. The area is littered with pieces of shrapnel and bits of sticky, gummy brown material.

Rub it and it bursts into flame and emits an acrid smoke. That's a distinct characteristic, experts say, of white phosphorous.

Sabbah Halima's blister-covered hands are an example of the kind of wound white phosphorous inflicts.

"In hours it becomes much deeper and much whiter, plus smoke comes out of the wound," said Dr. Nafez Abu Shaaban, chief of the burn unit at Shifa Hospital.

The United Nations refugee agency says white phosphorous hit its warehouse in the city center.

"I think our people have said if it looks like white phosphorous, if it acts like white phosphorus, it must be, white phosphorous," said Karen AbuZayd, UNWRA Commissioner-General.

Jodie Clark, a logistics officer for UNWRA, risked her life to pull a burning shell from under a fuel tanker.

"As I ran to the workshops another shell landed probably 30 meters in front of me and then just fireworks burst up from the ground and sprayed pellets of a burning substance all over the place," Clark said.

Pizzey showed part of one of the shells.

"The fire extinguisher didn't put it out, it continued to burn and in fact when we went back an hour later to fight the rest of the fire it was still burning," Clark said.

The Israelis have ordered an inquiry. But human rights groups are calling for an international investigation.

Then the Jews should get the fkuc out of the U.S. and pay for there own way instead of relying on American weaponry and taxing our public for it''s sake. The U.S. stood by the Jews while they fukced up the region and have suffered economically deeply because of them.

Israel has spied on America and caused damage to national security more than the Russians ever did.


You want to be left alone? To what ends? To exterminate your distant cousins, descendants from the same founder Abraham? Maybe grab more Arab land also? How about building that new temple in Jerusalem? Problem is it''s occupied...but you have a solution for that don''t you ... a "final solution?"

If Osama binladin comes out and says, if you fukc with me or my people, i will bring down all your buildings and nuke israel.....so leave the fukc me alone. This would be a retarded argument in response to a retarded argument.
Dont forget this world is just in its own weard sort of way, tides always turn. If israel keeps this attatude and in 40 years when you and your children in israel are burned alive, your cries of another holocust will fall on deff ears.
Think of your actions and listen to your words before you make them public.....and fear God, for God is just.

colonieNY you using all capital letters makes it look like you are on a rant and does little to further your argument.The fact of the matter is the use of WP against civilian populations is wrong , the use of cluster munitions is wrong ,The firing of rockets against civilian populations is wrong . There are many actions being committed by both sides that are destructive of the peace process, and your rants in capital letters do little to illuminate any kind of rational discussion on the topic . Take a breath, then another one , before you stroke out.

CBS-- another biased report.
How about the TITLE " Did HAMAS USE TORTURE WHEN IT BURNED OUT THE EYES OF GAYYS ?"

"WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CHRISTIANS OF GAZA ? DID THEY ALL CONVERT WILLINGLY AND BURN DOWN THE YMCA ? AND KILL THE HEAD OF THE YMCA AND HIS FAMILY ? AND KILL THE OWNER OF A CHRISTIAN BOOK STORE ?"

"WHAT HAPPEN TO THE CHRISTIAN WOMEN IN GAZALAND ? DID THEY ALL CONVERT AND MADE HOME AND SEXX SLAVES BECAUSE OF A LOVE OF ISLAM ??

The Jews of the world have a right to demand reparations from the BATH party (Syria) and from all the ARAB countries that displaced their peoples from historical lands in Syria, Egypt, and Iran.


///The Grand Mufti was arrested for war crimes, in 1945 for the organizing of Muslims in Croatia, to fully support NAZI and Hitler, and killing thousands of Chrisians and Jews. He was released to have trial in Paris, but somehow ( probably due to bribes and diry OIL money) managed to escape back to Syria, and the BATH PARTY. Just google it yourself.

There are many reasons for Jews to be angry worldwide at the way the ARABS treated them, killing them, volunteering to kill Jews in Europe. And now, they want to world to feel sorry for them, after they screwed up GAZA ?? GIVE ME A BREAK

If we all used Arab logic....

[mrnrgmizer]

Heinrich Himmler wrote to their officers on August 6, 1943:

"...I hold all commanders and other SS officers, responsible for the most scrupulous and loyal respect for this privilege especially granted to the Moslems. They have answered the call of the Moslem chiefs and have come to us out of hatred for the common Jewish-Anglo-Bolshevik enemy and through respect and fidelity for he who they respect above all, the Fuehrer, Adolf Hitler. There will no longer be the least discussion about the special rights afforded to the Moslems in these circles....

Heil Hitler!

(signed)

H. Himmler".

The Grand Mufti was a British title...isn''t that ironic?

That was before Israel existed...The Mufti was never put to trial. He was against the European Jews coming to Palestine, therefore his ally would be Germany. He wasn''t anti semitic, he was acting to defend the Palestine he knew...

He said in an interview...We do not mind you natives of the country, but those alien invaders, the Zionists, will be massacred to the last man. We want no progress, no prosperity. Nothing but the sword will decide the fate of this country.

He told an interviewer, Ladislas Farago:

The Jews have changed the life of Palestine in such a way that it must inevitably lead to the destruction of our race. We are not accustomed to this haste and speed, and therefore we are continually being driven into the background.



So now what?

[colonieny]

Why are the Jews even more angry ?

.. you have your history wrong . The Grand Mufti of the ARABS was a NAZI and met with Hitler to plan better ways to kill more innocent Jews, including babies. BABIES. When Hitler was early on wanting to deport Jews only, the ARAB nations protested.
After the WWII ended, the NAZI of the ARABs were not prosecuted, because - once again oil- and the threat of Russia and Communism. Too bad, because this NAZI mentality con''''t in the BATH party, which runs Syria''''s now BATH = NAZI. The Jews have a lot to be very angry about with the ARAB nations and ISLAM, there is a legacy of NAZISM AND HATE . Many millions of Jews were displaced from Syria, IRAN and Egypt, without any right or return and certainly no compensation for losing all of their life''''s work and land.
WHAT PEOPLE CAN IGNORE SUCH A PAST ?
Until the ARAB Countries give up the Bath = NAZI party, until the Jews get their lands back in Syria, Iran and EGypt, and are paid for lost years, and reparations from the NAZI MUfti killing of Jews, there will be no peace.
No people would put up with such treatment.

Hamas and the people of GAZA could have had a beautiful on the sea land, all they had to do was be peaceful.
Instead they chose to make it a sssshitttt hole for Terrorist, and from which parade baby killers as heroes.
no, everyone knows, all of this is their fault.
Please recall, the ARABs fully supported NAZI''s genocide of the Jews ,sending "experts" to Europe to help kill even more babies. What people act like this ? When will they face their past ?
