Another War crime,

10 DAYS,

67 children and 54 women and more than 40 other civilian and counting.

If this was happening in any other part of the globe it would be called MASCARA.

As long as Occupation exists Peace will be missing.

It is amazing how little outrage there is. Too many people feel that those in government are doing everything they can to stop it when they are just letting it continue. I am ashamed of my government.

Israel is believed to be using controversial white phosphorus shells to screen
its assault on the heavily populated Gaza Strip yesterday. The weapon, used
by British and US forces in Iraq, can cause horrific burns but is not
illegal if used as a smokescreen.

death toll topped 500, the tell-tale shells could be seen spreading
tentacles of thick white smoke to cover the troops’ advance. “These
explosions are fantastic looking, and produce a great deal of smoke that
blinds the enemy so that our forces can move in,” said one Israeli security
expert. Burning blobs of phosphorus would cause severe injuries to anyone
caught beneath them and force would-be snipers or operators of
remote-controlled booby traps to take cover.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/50F847D5-260C-4814-988A-6045450883D0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
