Just a day after the International Red Cross cleared Israel of charges of using white phosphorus against Gaza civilians, the world woke up to a shock: shells with white phosphorus were fired at civilian population (reports Israel National News). White phosphorous is a horrific weapon which sticks to human skin and continues to burn there under cut out. Photos of the victims of white phosphorous attacks are among the peace activists' strongest arguments. Strangely, this time human rights groups refrained from lambasting the perpetrators. The UN remained silent about the clear-cut war crime. No protests took place in Western capitals. Because the phosphorous shells have been fired by Palestinian terrorists at Jews. Palestinian terrorists fired phosphorous shells at the Israel Negev communities populated exclusively by civilians, no military presence whatsoever. The Palestinians were not deterred by large numbers of fellow Bedouin Arabs in the Negev. The shells struck Eshkol District where both Jewish farmers and Arab Bedouins live. Human rights organizations saturated Internet with condemnations of Israel after numerous phosphorous shells and canisters were discovered in Gaza following IDF operation. The International Red Cross Committee confirmed Israel has only used white phosphorous ammunition to illuminate the targets with no harm to Palestinian civilians or guerrillas. Despite the ICRC report, Palestinian groups stepped up the outcry over Israel's use of phosphorous ammunition in the attempt to deflect attention from their own use of it. In the latest case, Palestinian UNRWA personnel claims being attacked by phosphorous shells - despite the absence of burned victims.
