You might note that there’s another more-or-less-unremarked reference to white phosphorous use in a Tuesday NYT story, on the destruction of the village of Juhr El Dik (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/21/world/middleeast/21village.html?scp=12&sq=&st=nyt):
“A giant artillery shell, knee-high standing upright and marked M825E1, gave few answers….”

An M825E1 155mm artillery round is one of the rounds referred to in the story above, which dispenses pads of felt soaked in white phosphorous.

The designation is actually an American one, but IMI, an Israeli arms company, also produces equivalent rounds. There may even be M825s produced under license… it would be interesting to know if there was any other text on the shell, and if so if it was in English or Hebrew. In any case, this is a made-in-America technology.

There’s more to the Israeli’s criminal acts: according to numerious witnesses, after eating their chocolate bars, Israeku soldiers asked Palestinians to get out of their houses. There was a grandmother carrying a white flag who came out with her 3 grandchildren. Israelis shot the children at close range killing 2 children and a 4-year old girld who was shot in the back is now paralyzed, she will never walk again. Just watch BBC news they show you everything – in USA, nothing. Israel has proven to be a rogue and barbaric nation. Should it be accused of war crimes, I hope this time President Obama will not use his veto. Bush is gone – I hope an era of peace and justice will prevail this time.

Yes well, we all remember the Jenin Massacre and how the BBC reported it in detail together with eye witnesses.

Yeah, I’m not playing by the rules of hating Israel enough. And I never will, traitor!
