Impact of the white phosphorus on the human body from alleged Israeli attack

A second film reveals the impact of the white phosphorus on the human body. A 15-year-old boy is shown in a Gaza hospital receiving treatment for burns to his back and right arm which a doctor explains were caused by the chemical, which appears to have eaten into his flesh in several places.

Lying on his hospital bed, the boy tells how he was sitting with his family in their four-storey house when an Israeli bomb hit, killing his sister with shrapnel.

His testimony follows an earlier film by Qishta which contains graphic descriptions of attacks by Israeli forces in the same area.

Amnesty International said today that Israel has committed a war crime by using phosphorous over Gaza's densely populated residential neighbourhoods. The human rights organisation also said they had fresh evidence of its use.

"Yesterday, we saw streets and alleyways littered with evidence of the use of white phosphorus, including still burning wedges and the remnants of the shells and canisters fired by the Israeli army," said Christopher Cobb-Smith, a weapons expert who is in Gaza as part of a four-person Amnesty International fact-finding team. "White phosphorus is a weapon intended to provide a smokescreen for troop movements on the battlefield. It is highly incendiary, air burst and its spread effect is such that it that should never be used on civilian areas."

White Phosphorus was discovered, and used in war by the Byzantine Empire in 1669, just before their empire fell. The phosphorus was called "Greek Fire" by the Byzantines, and was used in their navy. They would launch it from primitive cannons at ships. It was terrifying, because no one had seen it in action before, and water couldn't kill it's flames. America did not discover it, nor were they the first to use it in war against humans.

Phosphorus made in USA and supplied to Israel by a gift from Puppet Obama, American tax-payers money hard at work, killing, maiming and destroying innocent lives, business as usual...

Perpetual global warfare, the Evil Zionist Banksters will stop at nothing until they own, control and enslave the world and then destroy everyone in it.
