White Phosphorus burns on a Palestinian boy reported by The Guardian

This film made by The Guardian reveals the impact of white phosphorus on the human body. A 15-year-old boy is shown in a Gaza hospital receiving treatment in 2009 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."

Zionists have treated Israel like a hired car and the gear box is now wrecked.

You give an inch and they have taking a mile.

The state of Israel has failed because of the warmongers running it.

Regime change and retreat is the only way Israel as a new country can survive.

Israel is surrounded.

Israel is paranoid because it knows it's done wrong.

Paranoia leads to mental illness.

No amount of US money can put that right.

WAR CRIMES.........Israel =GUILTY AS CHARGED.

[EMPIREofPUPPETS]

America went to war with Iraq, because we "said" they had weapons like this. They didn't.

Israel has them, and uses them, and America just sends them a check, every year.

@kalabicnikola Were you frothing at the mouth when you wrote that? Clean the spit off your screen so you can learn the truth. It's stuck at the top of this thread with the weight of mass public opinion keeping it in the top comments, you stupid stupid dick.

[IrelandHotels]

@Lifeisincredible911 LOL @ this kid is lying. That is the weakest fucking argument I have ever seen. You sir, are a shithead and a racist.

[IrelandHotels]

@Lifeisincredible911 How does one year in the comments section without any thumbs up feel? Maybe the old 'We're at war with terror' isn't working anymore? Maybe it's you that needs to wakeup. Israel hit that kid on purpose when they dropped WP out of an American helicopter. It's that simple. It didn't fall out by mistake, it didn't happen to be on an aid plane and fell out. The day is coming when Israel will answer for these crimes.

[IrelandHotels]

Damn! The voting system on YouTube seems to reflect world public opinion better than the UN Security Council does. Israeli is a terrorist army with a country attached to it. The world knows it.

The people will have their day in court.

@91177info Both PALESTINE and ISRAEL need to clean up their act. Hamas needs to stop shooting from innocent Muslim's homes causing Israel to rocket those homes, and Israel needs to stop occupying some land so the Muslims can live. Hamas needs to quit Attacking Civilians, Israel needs to give more rights to Muslims. This is no one-sided conflict, both people are at fault here, It's like the Chechens, they kill Civilians to earn freedom, others earned it by protesting. Both are in the wrong.

[flightoftheunknown]

Its not a war crime when civilized society is trying to rid the world of evil by any means possible.

@returnofthekhera Friend, no one deserves to be murdered or burned. I saw NY city on 9/11 when 3,000 INNOCENT CIVILIAN children, men, and women, died, in way worse fire from MUSLIMS who did it ON PURPOSE. Israel did not hit this kid on purpose. WAKE THE FUCK UP
