Israeli officers disciplined over white phosphorus use in Gaza

Two Israeli officers "jeopardised" human life by firing white phosphorus shells at a compound run by the UN, according to a report by the Israeli Defence Forces.

Brigadier General Eyal Eisenberg and Brigade Commander Colonel Ilan Malka were singled out by a Israeli special command investigation, which found the two men guilty of "exceeding their authority in a manner than jeopardised the lives of others".

OooOOOoo. Two officers are getting "disciplined".

The officers have been handed a mild reprimand in the form of a "note" placed in their personal files noting their involvement in the incident, explained a senior Israeli official who called the punishment a "slap on the wrist".

Wow. More like, a note on their file that is seen as a positive, and a champagne party.

I am willing to bet that this will not hit mainstream American news either. Americans like to delude themselves and think that Israel can do no evil. They are God's chosen people.

Well, that argument doesn't make sense to me. Israel may have been God's chosen people. But remember who God's chosen angel was?? Hmm? Anybody? Bueller?

Yes, that's right. God's chosen angel was Lucifer.

That argument for their inherent benevolence doesn't hold water.

Why was the phosphorus even loaded onto the planes ?

Was that a oopsie too?

Or maybe lets ask why the USA GAVE them the white phosphorous bombs in the first place? What? Hellfire missles just not barbequiing your innocent civilians evenly? Well, youre in luck, white ph. will give you that all-over even grilling that youre lookin for.

the two men were responsible for firing shells at the UN headquarters, where more than 700 Palestinians had taken shelter.

These kind of stories make me sick. So not only were they firing WP shells into a UN building, they were shooting them at Palestinians seeking shelter. This is pretty low even for the IDF.

I think I just threw up in my mouth.

Well if you remember correctly, God cast them from the holy land for being a bunch of butt faces. (The story of Moses)

They can do wrong. They have been pretty consistent about it throughout history.

If they weren't set on fire, then it's not enough discipline. If you're going to proclaim yourself to be YHWH's special country, then you should live by YHWH's special rules - eye for an eye, charbroiled skin for charbroiled skin.
