Part II, Israeli White Phosphorous Attack on UNRWA School at Beit Lahia, Gaza , January 17, 2009

Part II,
Operation Cast Lead,
Israeli White Phosphorous Attack on the
UNRWA School at
Beit Lahia,
Gaza, Palestine.01-17-09, or more aptly put, the Israeli massacre of the
Palestinian people, by the Israeli armed forces from
December 27, 2009 to
January 18,
2010, shows only a minuscule portion of the unprovoked and totally unnecessary
Barbarous Israeli attack using White Phosphorous on unarmed, noncombatant civilians, primarily women, children
and some old men in a
United Nations safe zone agreed to by the Israeli
General command.
I thoroughly researched the available many documents, pictures, slideshows and videos on the Israeli attack on Gaza, Palestine, named Operation Cast Lead. It was a very time consuming endeavour to say the least It took hundreds of hours until the final PowerPoint
Presentation of Parts I and II was completed.
One thing glaringly stood out like a sore thumb. The truth about Operation Cast Lead was missing from the information presented by the
Israelis and their supporters including the
Administration and especially most members of
Congress and
Senate of the United States of
America.
Since You
Tube imposes a 10 minute limit for each presentation, I had to create two separate videos of the Israeli Attack on the
Gaza Strip,
Palestine from December 27, 2008 to January 18, 2009.
The first video on YouTube is entitled Part I, Operation Cast Lead, Israeli Attack on
Gaza 12-27-08 to 01-18-09.
This is the second video entitled Part II, Operation Cast Lead, Israeli White Phosphorous Attack on the UNRWA School at Beit Lahia, Gaza, Palestine.01-17-09
It is impossible to show and tell about all that happened before, during and after Operation Cast Lead in the 10 minutes that You Tube allows. I hoped to shed some light and present the truth within that imposed time frame.
The UNRWA school in
Beit Lahia was used by unarmed non-combatant
Palestinian families as a safe haven from constant Israeli aerial, naval and ground bombardment. UNRWA had given the
Israeli Military Command the
GPS coordinates for their headquarters, schools, warehouses and food depots to safeguard them from being bombarded as
Safe neutral zones devoid of armed
Palestinian fighting men. The
Israeli Military Command agreed. The Israelis then went ahead and bombarded them anyway. The Israelis have no honour and no integrity .
White Phosphorus is a toxic chemical agent that burns on contact with air and creates thick white smokes in order to hide troop movements. However phosphorus shells are largely indiscriminate scattering large numbers of fragments over a large area, which can cause severe damage to both human tissue and property.
THE GENEVA TREATY OF
1980 STIPULATES THAT WHITE PHOSPHORUS CANNOT NOT BE USED AS A
WEAPON OF
WAR IN CIVILIAN AREAS. However there is no blanket ban under international law on its use as a smokescreen or for illumination. However,
Charles Heyman, a military expert and former major in the
British Army, said: If white phosphorus was deliberately fired at a crowd of people someone would end up in
The Hague for having committed war crimes .
White phosphorus is also a terror weapon. The descending blobs of phosphorus will continue to burn when in contact with skin.
As usual the
Israeli military on January 4, 2009 denied using phosphorus, but refused to say what had been deployed.
Israel uses munitions that are allowed for under international law the spokesman added. Israel
LIED again.
On
January 21, 2009 Israel admitted after mounting international pressure that its troops used white phosphorus shells in contravention of international law, during its three-week offensive in the Gaza Strip
One and one half million
Palestinian refugees are living in the Gaza Strip since 1948, if one can call that living. They are penned in, within the worlds largest open air Israeli controlled concentration-camp-prison completely sealed off from the outside world by the Israeli military. And the
World has done nothing positive nor productive to solve this travesty and human tragedy for over 62 years.
Israel, supported by the
United States continues to defy the United Nations and the rest of the world
The Israeli Military machine, supported and supplied by the United States; by air, ground and naval attacks on civilians, deliberately murdered mostly 1350 ++ civilian men women, children and babies, 460 of whom were children. The Israeli Military machine deliberately wounded, injured and maimed 5450++ mostly civilians, men, women, children and babies.
