Israel Unleashes Chemical Weapons in Gaza

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.

FOR THE RECORD

I AM IN NO WAY AGAINST JEWS OR JUDAISM

I AM AGAINST THE POLITICAL ZIONIST STATE OF ISRAEL AND ITS BRUTAL TACTICS WHICH HAVE ENSLAVED A WHOLE POPULATION.

How many more civilian deaths do we need before stopping this rogue state called ISRAEL Which is based on racism with its "JEWISH ONLY SETTLEMENTS ?

This is not the 1st time Israel has used chemical weapons against a population, you can do your own research on this mater.

These savage tools of terror are "legal" when used as smokescreens to mask military operations,

This is from your link.

Do you suppose that Israel is using these smokescreen bombs legally? OMG!

Show us the reference to any casualties.

The use of the weapon in the Gaza Strip, one of the world’s mostly densely populated areas, is likely to ignite yet more controversy

What has happened is that we have "ignited controversy"!

BTW your source is an anti Israeli organization based in Iraque. Not at all a trustworthy source!

posphorus bombs are really nasty. From my understanding water won't put out the flame. If a fragment lands on you it will bury itself into your skin and the only way to keep it from burning through your body is to dig it out with a knife.

I thinks its also the stuff from ww2 that The Luftwaffe dropped on London during the Blitz to burn the city to he ground. The allies also used it to burn Tokyo and Dresden to oblivion.

I saw an interview with an American soldier who witnessed white phosphorus being sprayed over Fallujah by helicopters. He reported seeing both fighter's and civilian's bodies burnt, yet their clothes were ok. It was called a "Papa Whiskey". Obviously officially a "smokescreen" too.

Nasty stuff.

Israel used White Phosphorus against HAMAS targets in Gaza during Operation Cast Lead in January 2009. This violated no international laws or conventions. White Phosphorus (WP), known as Willy Pete, is used for signaling, screening, and incendiary purposes. White Phosphorus can be used to destroy the enemy's equipment or to limit his vision. It is used against vehicles, petroleum, oils and lubricants (POL) and ammunition storage areas, and enemy observers. WP can be used as an aid in target location and navigation. It is usually dispersed by explosive munitions. It can be fired with fuze time to obtain an airburst. White phosphorus was used most often during World War II in military formulations for smoke screens, marker shells, incendiaries, hand grenades, smoke markers, colored flares, and tracer bullets.

I woulds be more concerned with the bullets and bombs flying around than I would with the IDF deploying WP.

Phosphorus burns are a rarely encountered chemical burn, typically occurring in battle, industrial accidents, or from fireworks. Death may result even with minimal burn areas

The Independent is reporting “that scientists were studying samples of Lebanese soil after Israeli bombing during the July-August war showed high radiation levels, suggesting that uranium-based munitions had been used. Samples taken from two Israeli bomb craters in the Lebanese villages of Khiam and aL-Tiri have been sent to the Harwell laboratory in Oxfordshire, southern England, for further analysis.”

According to the International Middle East Media Center, the “damage caused by such weapons inflict vicious wounds, which will burst into flames when exposed to air, even after the initial infliction. The threat does not end there as the particles of uranium released from the weapon remain in the land and air causing cancer for years to come.” In addition, notes IMEMC, there is “suspicion that Israel is also using illegal weapons in Gaza

Mods ...

This is a duplicate topic in the wrong forum. Can't see how this is breaking political news, since it is not political and it isn't "breaking" since we've already been discussing it elsewhere for a couple days.

Thank you.

WP is what causes all the fireworks like flashes over the battlefield in the news casts. Very common. Used apparently to illuminate the battlefield and cause night blindness in the enemy.
