So I'm watching the news on CNN tonight and I see a mother bending over a crib in a hospital where her 2 year old daughter and 10 year old boy were seriously wounded by an Israeli bomb full of phosphrous designed to burn it's victims! The 10 year old boy was layihg in his hospital bed with half his body burned including both his eyes. He no longer has his eye sight and is hallucinating from the pain. The 2 year old girl has a wrap around her hand from it being blown off by the Israeli bomb. The baby was screaming in pain. By fair the most graphic and heartfelt footage I've seen yet in this conflict! Phosphrous burns all over these children's bodies!!! The pain is on going because once phosphrous is flesh, it continuously burns it like an acid burn! The international community has a band against such weapons that cause this kind of injury to people!! Yet here's Israel with a much more sophisticated army using this kind of merciless weaponry... Go ahead people and disagree all you want but if you saw that footage that I did tonight you're stomachs would be turning right now. Those images of that little girl screaming from the pain of the phoshorous burns will be burned into my mind for the rest of my life!

| White phosphorus is a common allotrope of the chemical element phosphorus which has found extensive military application as an incendiary agent [1], smoke-screening agent, and as an antipersonnel flame compound capable of causing serious burns[2]. It is used in bombs called phosphorus bombs, which burst into flames upon impact. White phosphorus has been called a chemical weapon by many people and organizations, including members of the United Nations. It is commonly referred to in military jargon as "WP". The Vietnam War era slang "Willy(ie) Pete" or "Willy(ie) Peter" is still occasionally heard. Phosphorus bombs are incendiary bombs and have been likened to napalm, although there are key differences. Despites differences, the usage of these bombs remains controversial particularly if used as an offensive weapon. The United Nations has claimed that if they're used according to their original purpose, to produce a smoke camouflage, it is clearly allowed. If used offensively, use of the weapon may however be classified as. illegal chemical warfare

| How many German babies did we mutilate on our way to conquering Hitler? If there was a television camera broadcasting WWII all day-everday in American living rooms in the 40's, I guarantee the nation overwhelmingly would not have supported the war.
