The Israeli blitzkrieg in Gaza rages on….. silently.
Reports of WMD’S in the form of cluster bombs and white phospherus bombs leaked out late yesterday…. today there is silence. Silence not due to the end of hostilities, but due to few or no reports getting out of Gaza. The few journalists that remain have no means of getting the truth out as communication lines were destroyed during yesterday’s attacks.
Phone lines are down, internet providers are not functioning…. Israel is literally getting away with murder today without witnesses for the trials that will take place in the Hague one day.
BUT…. the protests MUST continue against the madness….. the silence does not mean it is over.

Now the confirmation:
Comment: The AP photo above shows what appears to be a white phosphorus shell fired into Gaza, as was used by Israel in Lebanon. White phosphorus is an indiscriminate killer that ignites once it is exposed to oxygen, producing such heat that it bursts into a yellow flame and produces a dense white smoke.
It causes painful burn injuries to exposed human flesh, as discovered by Lebanon's Children at the hands of Israeli Phosphorus Bombs in 2006.
White Phosphorus is considered a chemical weapon by most governments around the world. Its use in civilian areas is banned by the Geneva Treaty of 1980. The United Nations considers such weapons illegal.

Of course, it would not be the first time Iz-ray-HELL has used such weapons.

"Norwegian medics told Press TV correspondent Akram al-Sattari 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. The report comes after Israeli tanks and troops swept across the border into Gaza on Saturday night"
