Israel, with United States sponsorship is now using chemical weapons against the people of Gaza, including white phosphorous.

What did Saddam Hussein use in his Halabja poison gas attack, along with other chemical weapons?

The US used this very same chemical weapon in the attack on Falluja in 2004.

The Geneva Conventions make the use of white phosphorous as a chemical weapon illegal and when you read the effects of it, it’s easy to see why.

Israel insists that it is using white phosphorous as a smoke screen.
