Human Rights Watch says burning phosphorus used in civilian areas

AP:

Human Rights Watch said Sunday that Israel's military has fired artillery shells with the incendiary agent white phosphorus
into Gaza and a doctor there said the chemical was suspected in the
case of 10 burn victims who had skin peeling off their faces and bodies

AC (correspondent to this blog):

Apparently, this poor child was such an effective human shield that the IDF found it necessary to bomb him/her, run over him/her with a tank, and deny paramedics access to the body.

    I found your 'Re-thinking Zionism' post on Huffington. tracked you here. Can't tell you how grateful I was to read it. Thankyou so much for your strong voice. I re posted it on my myspace site tonight.

    I put out a blog about this but I'm not Jewish. I don't have the power that you have to be heard. I appreciate your courage. Thankyou.

    I am agnostic so it does not shock me to see the holier than thou self proclaimed god's chosen people commit such atrocities against what some of their religious leaders proclaim to be an inferior people. But I am a human being and I cry for the victims.

    The "little fascist" Israeli picnicker in the link above also says, without any show of irony

    "I think it is the only solution. . ."

  6. A friend and I have found places for over 100 children from the Gaza Strip. The trick is getting them out of there.

    Please contact President Bush and ask him to urge Israel to initiate a ceasefire and to allow wounded children out of Gaza.

    From her accent, the "little fascist" was born in the U.S.

    When Zionism collapses, will we have to let these monsters back in?
