One of the weapons Israel is alleged to have used in Gaza is white phosphorus, a dangerous chemical that burns its victims. Israel has not admitted using the weapon, which some human rights groups suspect comes from the US, and one small town in Arkansas. Al Jazeera's Mike Kirsch reports.

  • Jews celebrated on 9/11 too. They celebrated because they knew that after 9/11 they would no longer have to take on the Arab and Muslim world alone.

    Israel tried to pull the U.S. into a war with the Arab and Muslim world decades ago when it bombed the USS Liberty, a U.S. Navy vessel. Uh-huh, it's true, go check your history.

    It's so funny how Zionists portray themselves as so supportive of America and an ally of America but always seem to forget the whole USS Liberty thing.

  • myth 1. busted:1.5 million in 40 sq. km, that is more than 2000 people per sq. mile, this is the densest place anywhere on earth.

    myth 2. busted: 50% of those 1.5 million are below 18 years, making the highest mortality rate in the world, where half of those 400 killed in the gaza massacre were children, brush-fired at close range, smashed under boot, run over by tanks and deliberately buried under rubble.

    you should thank your God that you were not born in Gaza.

  • @miasma02 Your information seems to be flawed President johnson Ordered that ship to the bottom it ever says the isreal planes would not fire on it becuase it was a U.S ship.

  • @miasma02

    USS Liberty is all you Jew hating fucks can ever come up with.

  • they destroy more bombs then they make their and even if that arsenal didn't exist they would still be manufacturing the shells some were else.

  • I agree this is effective propaganda, but I am a sucker for good journalism.

  • The record on the uses of white phosphorus is pretty clear: the US used it as a weapon in Fallujah. This is forbidden. Now, Israel uses it as a weapon in Gaza- with aid from the US. The employees of the armory featured in this piece are complicitous in globally recognized human rights abuses, at least insofar as they understand what it is that they're engaged in manufacturing.

    Despicable acts on the part of Palestinians don't logically preclude war crimes on the part of Israel.

  • i'm sorry, but... you're full of shit.

  • Wow, this is one manipulative article, I'm impressed by the magnitude and cleverness of the skew. Nerve gas, chemical weapons, economic depression, a bunch of clueless hicks who allowed themselves to be filmed, bunch of heresay evidence and some anti-bush wackos, it all comes together for some pretty effective propaganda. Good job Al Jazeera, raising up more human bombs.
