JFK from the Loose Change forum was able to do screen captures of some of the White Phosphorus attacks by Israel, against civilians in the Gaza Strip since 01/10/09.

Here's a compilation of the images from the last week.

DUde, the place is getting pounded by Phosphorus. This is insane. The CNN feed is the same feed that the Interpal station is running.

A massive series of explosions are going off and massive ground-fire exchanges and very close to the camera. This is the closest yet that I've seen it.

HRW: Israel's white phosphorous use indiscriminate

By KARIN LAUB – 7 hours ago

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel fired white phosphorous shells indiscriminately over densely populated areas of Gaza in what amounts to a war crime, Human Rights Watch said in a report Wednesday.

The New York-based group called on the United Nations to launch an investigation into alleged Israeli violations of the rules of war, including the use of white phosphorous, during its three-week Gaza offensive.

The Israeli military said Wednesday that the shells were used in line with international law.

"The claim that smoke shells were used indiscriminately, or to threaten the civilian population, is baseless," the military said in a statement.

International law permits the use of phosphorous weapons as flares or to create smoke screens masking the movement of troops.

However, Human Rights Watch said Israeli troops frequently fired the shells over densely populated areas. The firing "was indiscriminate and is evidence of war crimes," the report said.

The group documented only some of the cases, including white phosphorous shells fired at a Gaza City hospital, the U.N. headquarters, a school and a market. In six attacks, 12 civilians were killed and dozens wounded, said Human Rights Watch researcher Fred Abrahams.

Each shell bursts into 116 burning white phosphorous wedges, over a radius of more than 135 yards (125 meters). The wedges burn on contact with oxygen, creating intense heat, and can cause severe burns. The phosphorous kept burning for many days, and was still smoldering well after Israel's withdrawal on Jan. 18.

Abrahams said the Israeli military was aware of the destructive nature of white phosphorous. Army medical officers warned during the war that the weapons is "potentially extremely destructive to tissue," according to an internal army document attached to the report.

Israel's use of white phosphorous violated the laws of war, Abrahams said.

"They knew perfectly well what danger white phosphorous poses to civilians," Abrahams said. "Their own documents prove it. They know that these areas were densely populated. Yet they fired it not once, not twice, but repeatedly into densely populated areas."

Israel could have used less dangerous smoke screens produced by an Israeli company, Abrahams said.

He called for an investigation by the U.N. secretary-general or the U.N. Security Council into all of Israel's alleged violations of the rules of war, including the use of white phosphorous.

They were quite thoughtful and intentional in their useage.
Wonder if they could get away with that sort of war crime without support from
ObamaBiden and Clinton?
War Criminals all.
