In some of those images you can see that Israel is using white phosphorous on civilian populations, which is illegal under international humanitarian law. You can tell it is white phosphorous, because of the tendril shape of the smoke. White phosphorous burns flesh to the bone and causes wide spread fires, and violates the humanitarian law to prevent any unnecessary damage to civilians. The use of white phosphorous is only permissible as an "obscurant" to cover troop movements and prevent enemies from using guided weapons. In these pictures it is clear that it is being used in densely populated areas.

It is clear that Israel has no respect for the lives of the Palestinian people, and they should be condemned.

nope... most of it is smoke being used and the use of willy peet is not illegal...

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.

The Battle of Fallujah was conducted from 8 to 20 November 2004 with the last fire mission on 17 November. The battle was fought by an Army, Marine and Iraqi force of about 15,000 under the I Marine Expeditionary Force (IMEF). US forces found WP to be useful in the Battle of Fallujah. "WP proved to be an effective and versatile munition. We used it for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight, as a potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in trench lines and spider holes when we could not get effects on them with HE. We fired “shake and bake” missions at the insurgents, using WP to flush them out and HE to take them out. ... We used improved WP for screening missions when HC smoke would have been more effective and saved our WP for lethal missions."

White phosphorus is not banned by any treaty to which the United States is a signatory. Smokes and obscurants comprise a category of materials that are not used militarily as direct chemical agents. The United States retains its ability to employ incendiaries to hold high-priority military targets at risk in a manner consistent with the principle of proportionality that governs the use of all weapons under existing law. The use of white phosphorus or fuel air explosives are not prohibited or restricted by Protocol III of the Certain Conventional Weapons Convention (CCWC), the Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons which may be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to have Indiscriminate Effects, which regulates the use of "any weapon or munition which is primarily designed to set fire to objects or to cause burn injury to persons . . ."

I found some of the comments on the blog more disturbing than the pictures themselves to be honest... Hate fueled by propaganda is never good and that blog is full of it.

So yes if Hamas had stopped firing rockets, this wouldn't have escalated to the scenes visible in the photos.

That is utter nonsense! That's like saying retaliation with a nuclear bomb for a cherry bomb is justified. What a disgusting attitude!

Scenes like this really do look like the end is coming. It would be nice if we could all find peace. The loss of any human life this way is a terrible and sad thing.

No it isn't. No nukes or cherry bombs were used.

I am at a loss for words. I jsut spent the past 30 minutes crying for the losses of life in those images. Maybe we do need to be wiped off the face of this planet. I thought I was a tough guy till I saw these images.

I would hope to wake in the wonderful world of Pandora (Avatar) at least there they love each other, and the planet. It was Humans from Earth, that came in and tried to destroy everything over money.

I will close in saying I really hope there is Karma. The people who start wars need to be dealt with and punished for these atrocities.

I could not bomb or shoot anyone, unless my life was directly effected.

This makes me sick. Maybe if MSM showed some of these images, people might change. I don't think so. We all need to go bye bye.

Mr Smith could not have said it any better:

Agent Smith: I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species and I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed and the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You're a plague and we are the cure.
Posts like that also make it harder to be positive.

End of Line......

It doesn't matter who perpetrated the crime. The MUSLIM WORLD CHEERED at our loses, and ISRAEL WEPT by our side!!!

Except those israelis that were arrested for cheering in the streets of new york....and the ones who were subsequently arrested over the next year +, and were not tried, but deported back to Israel.

Those ones didnt weep.

Open your eyes.... we have been over there killing and waging war for decades.... We create excuses to go over there and invade their homeland, in consequence killing their families, children, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends....

All because of reasons that the average person cannot comprehend. Wake up a little bit, do some research. Of course they are going to hate us and retaliate with violence. LOOK WHAT WE HAVE DONE!

And of course Israel supports us... we are their largest ally... We give them billions of dollars and help fund their military killing machine... And support their political beliefs...

Holy crap those are cluster bombs.

In a populated area?

Isn't this a international Crime???

Well, cluster flares or white phosphorous.
Since it didn't explode, it just burnt.

It burns yellow though. Doesn't white phosphorous burn pink??

So you purposely shot on women, children, civilians?

How do you look your kids, grand kids in the eye?

What a gutless post.

You are the one who should be ashamed. Attacking people who volunteer to serve in the military is beyond reprehensible. Are you so simple minded and brainwashed as to believe that the men and women who serve in the military purposely murder civilians?

Actually that would be the Islamic Extremists. They intentionally bomb civilians because they are scum. Hamas purposely uses the Palestinians as human shields.

Pretty tough sitting behind that computer eh?

Um.... yes, this has actually been happening for quite a long time over in Iraq... WAKE UP people! do your research!

There have been several instances when members of our military, yes the almighty US military, have purposely murdered civilians in all types of conflicts.

Actually he has major guts.

He is criticizing the monsters with guns who shoot at practically anyone they feel like.

I think hes got huge nuts.

Wouldn't kissing their rears the way you are doing, be the gutless way ? I mean its pretty cowardly to just bow down and all.

But standing up to the psychos with guns? Major Guts.

Your post was pretty clear.

We know what you are.

I have no interest in engaging in your childish banter. You are not worth it.

Wow.... just WOW!

Thank You OP for posting.

Maybe we could make an effort to make this go viral!?

You individuals trying to justify this should absolutely and completely be ashamed of yourselves!
