Israel rains fire on Gaza with phosphorus shells

An entry posted on Laila El-Haddad's blog, 'Raising Yousuf and Noor: diary of a Palestinian mother' not only talks about the first hand experiences of Gaza residents who bore the brunt of massive Israeli onslaught from air, land and sea but also there are chilling descriptions on the use of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) by Israelis in their continuing operation in Gaza. The entry posted on January the 4th reads as follows:

"Residents in Gaza have been talking about an unprecedented amount of force being unleashed against them by the Israeli army- but they have also spoken about new kinds of weaponry. It comes as no surprise-Gaza has always been Israel's "testing ground" - from nerve agents used in Khan Younis in 2003 to Sonic Boom "phantom air raids". Now, there is talk of cluster bombs, depleted uranium, and white phosphorus. And these are only the ones people can identify. CNN corespondents stationed near the borders have also been talking about new kinds of explosions.

Norwegian medics say that some of the victims who have been wounded since Israel began its attacks on the Gaza Strip on December 27 have traces of depleted uranium in their bodies, according to Press TV.

There are also reports that the Israeli Army is using both cluster bombs in the northern part of the Strip, as well as White Phosphorus, an incendiary weapon used by the United States in Iraq (which would explain the large flare-like explosions unseen before in Gaza)."

If the account is correct than I request all who read this article to ask their friends and contacts to not only write to the Israeli ambassadors in their own countries but also actively take part in protests and demonstrations against Isreali killings and register their protests against Israeli use of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD's) in their continuing assault on Gaza.

This is indeed a serious issue now. Israel is acting beyond its limits. What possibly can our protests do? Only strong sanctions against Israel from the first world might help stop this act of terrorism.

What is UN doing?

Israel and NOT Hamas is the biggest TERRORIST.

I agree @maidiya! just saw the following story,'Israel rains fire on Gaza with phosphorus shells, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5447590.ece ', initially I thought that what Laila wrote in her blog may be a matter of opinion amongst journalists and defense experts but now I am 100 percent sure that the Israelis' are indeed using the chemical agents mentioned therein my story. This is a crime against humanity. The Israeli leadership must be made accountable for their actions in the International Court of Justice in Hague on war crime charges. Arif

i know citizen. The war has so many more motives.

as far as my knowledge goes, one of the reason why Iraq was attacked by US was because it was assumed that Iraq has WMD. Right?

Hypocrisy at its best! Israel is earth's god i guess! S:

If WMD is being used you are right they deserve to be investigated. They are taking it too a whole new level

At times like this i wonder... maybe mankind is meant to kill each other off... and in the process wound planet earth beyond repair. This is like going back in time... i feel like the world is about to crumble within itself and blood will flow, like the melting spring snow.
What happened to governments working for the people... it seems like the only thing that would make a difference at this point is if somehow millions of people realized that it is the masses that ought control their government and not the other way around.

Is there no more hope for us..? Have we passed the point of no return?

Posted By solitaire solitaire | 10 months ago
Even with so many protests taking place, no one (meaning UN/US) is taking notice of it! I wonder what the whole big plan behind this is. Conspiracy theories anyone??
Reply By muslimindia muslimindia | 10 months ago
@solitair...Conspiracy theory-the one comes to mind is this one: Israeli election war-meaning Presidential elections in Isreal is due in february. Likud Chairman Benjamin Netanyahu who leads in the opinion polls has pledged to topple the Hamas leadership in the Gaza Strip if elected prime minister in the February elections. http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1049724.html.

On the other hand the two-year-old Kadima party still lacks a clear political identity, and needed a formative political maneuver to shape its character. May be the Gaza Massacre may act as catalyst and bring it nearer to Israelis. In any case what it has done is not what it intended in the first place...to inflict heavy casualities on Hamas targets in Gaza, instead they ended up bombing mosques, schools, university, medical services including ambulances, hospitals and anything moving in sight.

Since the complicity between the US and Israel has been established beyond doubt including the green signal from President elect Barack Obama who was informed on a daily basis about the operational details; the only way 1.5 million Palestinian refugees living in Gaza to be saved from this annihilation is to intensify the pressure from the streets!

Muslim, i believe its part of a greater conspiracy then just elections and American Policy. It definitely is. I don't remember the exact post but i guess James wrote about it.

Nevertheless, the first theory is also sickening and deplorable.

I wonder what they plan on doing with all these 1.5 million people.. Holocaust anyone??? That is terrible, and America who claims to be so against the Holocaust is carrying one out right under everyone's noses... Horrible.
