Allegations of the use of white phosphorus have been made against Israel in their attack on the Gaza Strip and firework-like explosions during the offensive like those made when using the chemical have been widely seen. Al Jazeeras Jacky Rowland spoke with Marc Garlasco, a weapons expert, on the border with Gaza about the viability of these claims.

Israel is an evil entity, they don't respect any law, they are racists, they steal land, they have clandestine nukes, they brutalise the natives... Israel is a pariah state among the nations of the world.

@racenemo - they have no weapons, no money, they are totally locked up against the shore

If one doesn't want to get hurt, it should not start a war. Whining afterwards it's useless. Gaza started the war. Hamas and their supporters are the only responsible for the dead and wounded on both sides.

Israel's Use Of White Phosphorus Not Illegal: Red Cross (Huffington Post - 01/13/09) - "Herby said that using phosphorus to illuminate a target or create smoke is legitimate under international law, and that there was no evidence the Jewish state was intentionally using phosphorus in a questionable way, such as burning down buildings or consciously putting civilians at risk.)

Israel's Use Of White Phosphorus Not Illegal: Red Cross (Huffington Post - 01/13/09) - "In some of the strikes in Gaza it's pretty clear that phosphorus was used," Herby told The Associated Press. "But it's not very unusual to use phosphorus to create smoke or illuminate a target. We have no evidence to suggest it's being used in any other way." - (Peter Herby is the head of the organization's mines-arms unit)
