Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have collected evidence, including video, that Israel uses white phosphorus artillery shells, a veritable weapon of extermination, against the people of Gaza, in addition to bombs dropped from planes.
White phosphorus causes severe burns, often down to the bone, which are slow to heal and can develop infections.
If all white phosphorus fragments are not removed, they can aggravate wounds and flare up again when exposed to oxygen. White phosphorus burns on as little as 10 percent of the human body are often fatal.
Those who survive the wounds often suffer for life.
The death toll in Gaza so far is about 3,500, the wounded about 15,000. Given the lack of medicines and medical equipment due to the Israeli embargo, most of the wounded are likely to die.
Added to this are more than 1,300 missing people buried under the rubble, including 600 children.
As the shelling, which also hit a hospital causing hundreds of casualties, continues, the Israeli command has ordered one million Palestinians, half the population of Gaza, to evacuate the northern part to mass in the south.
Meanwhile, the Israeli army sends more tanks to Gaza’s borders in preparation for a full-scale invasion.
President Biden visited Israel to show the Ally “U.S. solidarity in the face of the brutal Hamas terrorist attack.”
Back in Washington, Biden let it be known that he will ask Congress for another $14 billion in military aid to Israel “for its war against Hamas” and another $60 billion to Ukraine “to fight Russia.”
This constitutes further confirmation of what was documented in episode 113 of Grandangle:
The Hamas attack on the Israeli population in the areas surrounding the Gaza barrier, which claimed a thousand lives, was part of an operation organized by the intelligence services (Mossad, CIA and others) similar to the terrorist attack of Sept. 11, 2001, which was the trigger for the “global war on terror” unleashed by the United States with the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
The goal of “The 9/11 of the Middle East” is not only to wipe out the Palestinian territories, but to open a war front, particularly against Iran, in a Middle East in which the United States and European powers are losing ground, particularly with Iran and Saudi Arabia’s upcoming entry into the Brics along with China & Russia.
