You Can't Rationalize The Inexcusable
Gaza victims' burns increase concern over phosphorus
"Photographic evidence has emerged that proves that Israel has been using controversial white phosphorus shells during its offensive in Gaza, despite official denials by the Israel Defence Forces."
the pale blue 155mm rounds are clearly marked with the designation M825A1, an American-made white phosphorus munition
"The rounds, which explode into a shower of burning white streaks, were first identified by The Times at the weekend when they were fired over Gaza at the start of Israel's ground offensive."
this is supposed to be a smokescreen, the ostensible reson for use
“The burns are very unusual. They don't look like burns we have normally seen. They are third-level burns that we can't seem to control.”

The media is giving Israel a free pass on this one, saying that this weapon is legal if it's used for illumination, not as a weapon. But if the effect on people is the same, what's the difference?
Using it for battlefield illumination - emphasis on "field" - is one thing, But using it in a congested are like Gaza is unconscionable.
This is why I dumped my previous life, abi. I feel the fascists are now out of all control and are trying to start WW3. This sick shit is forced down our throats to instigate total conflict, because that's where the fascists think they'll prosper.
