http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_(weapon) White phosphorus (WP) is a flare- and smoke-producing incendiary device[1] or smoke-screening agent that is made from a common allotrope of the chemical element phosphorus. White phosphorus bombs and shells are incendiary weapons, but can also be used as offensive anti-personnel flame compounds capable of causing serious burns or death.[2] The agent is used in bombs, artillery, and mortars, short-range missiles which burst into burning flakes of phosphorus upon impact. White phosphorus is commonly referred to in military jargon as "WP". The slang term "Willy(ie) Pete" or "Willy(ie) Peter", dating from World War I and common at least through the Vietnam War, is still occasionally heard. IP: Logged |

aljazeera :-))) ...that figures ...if white phosphorus has been used .. it will be evident from the type of burns .. btw: ~ Quinnie ~ there's a voting website where you can vote in favor for which ever side you want .. although traffic is so dense .. the voting system wasn't working when i visited .. ( sorry .. i'd post the link .. but i trashed it ) i find it amazing that when someone farts in that part of the world .. the whole planet goes nuts .. whilst on the other hand .. massacres and atrocities elsewhere hardly get a footnote in the media .. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ mideast at the start of the first world war .. ~ http://unimaps.com/mideast1914/index.html ~ after the war .. ( germany and her ally turkey lost the war britain and france moved in to what was the ottoman empire ) ~ http://unimaps.com/jordan-pal1923/index.html ~ probably the main motivation for zionism .. the russian pogroms of the late 1800's early 1900's .. plus the 1930's/'1940's in europe ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogrom ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ my grandad fled the russian pogroms .. and settled in the uk .

Happy Dragon why do you say ."Aljazeera, that figures"?There has been evidence of the use of white phosphorus in the type of burns people are suffering. Please tell me why you would not go nuts if your family, community and country was being attacked and slaughtered right infront of you. What do you mean by a voting system... This website you are talking about, is this serious? IP: Logged |

*** Happy Dragon why do you say ."Aljazeera, that figures"? *** intense distrust of arab media .. probably .. it's a cultural difference i guess ..if i could remember the name of a famous palestinian author ( lives in n.y.c. ) and a particular book he wrote .. explaining arab culture .. well the contents of that book would probably explain the above .. unfortunately i can't off-hand remember either the authors name or the book title .. was about 1980 or so when i read it .. if i do find the book title .. i will post the info .. *** There has been evidence of the use of white phosphorus in the type of burns people are suffering.*** if the evidence is correct then w.p. is probaly used in some munitions .. *** Please tell me why you would not go nuts if your family, community and country was being attacked and slaughtered right infront of you. *** i've no doubt i would .. my general feelings re that paticular area of the world .. if all sides could get along with each other .. it could be a paradise on earth .. but .. it will probably take a few hundred years to accomplish ..

"my general feelings re that paticular area of the world .. if all sides could get along with each other .. it could be a paradise on earth .. but .. it will probably take a few hundred years to accomplish"And in my opinion if neutral third parties stepped in to help it would be a matter of decades, if not less. The next generation could be more extreme (signing up to avenge their families deaths) or embracing change and peace (if helped by a third party). I do not care about ANY book. A human being is a human being and each has the right to defend themselves. Israel are violating that right and ironically causing a genocide. I am sick! I am disgusted with those statistics. Have amerians lost touch with reality and wht id truly important! Regarding the White Phosphorus Israel has neither denied nor confirmed that they are using it.

That voting system is it accurate? I thought the war was on Hamas and not Palestine. To be correct it should say Israel versus Hamas unless Israel really is comminting genocide ofcourse.IP: Logged |
