[Marxism] ADC Calls for Investigations Into Reported Israeli use ofWhite Phosphorus on Gaza

[S. Artesian]

White phosphorous is terrorism practiced on the most miserable of grand 
scales.  Burns on contact with air, worse on contact with water-- will burn 
right through to the bone-- if it gets on you you can either try covering it 
with vaseline-- but if it has already burned into your skin that won't work, 
so you might as well slice off, literally, that part of the flesh.

Used in WW 2, Korea, and extensively in Vietnam, usually in artillery 
rounds, where the word was "Willy Peter will make you a believer."  Used by 
the US against the population of Fallujah, as punishment after the US 
mercenaries got strung up by their own guts.   I believe the US used an air 
dispersal method [rather than impact/explosion], to create a fire storm from 
which there was no escape.  "Crime against humanity,"  "war crimes," are 
obscene euphemisms when it comes to white phosporous.
