Heavy fighting is underway in the Gaza strip as Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak has pledged to continue the war against Hamas until “peace and tranquillity” returned to the south of his country.

Hundreds of people have been killed outright and others are still buried under the rubble.

The shameful landmark of over 1000 dead (and counting) in Gaza is a disgusting war crime. Human Rights Watch claims that the Israelis are using White Phosphorus (WP) against civil populations. And anyone who has watched the news reports can see that WP is being used. The use of this directed at civilians is, in its self is a war crime. Doctors in Gaza are reporting “new types" of horrifying injuries with no evidence of shrapnel. Could this be as a result of Dense Inert Metal Explosives? Just Google DIME Explosives to see the devastating effects that these weapons have. Has the US critsised Israel? No, it abstained from voting in a recent UN sitting. Of course we have to remember that the aircraft that are currently bombarding Gaza are supplied by America, as are their helicopters, rifles and countless other items of military hardware. As someone who is employed to go in after these conflicts end, clear unexploded ordnance and see the human suffering, I am appalled

Shame on the Useless States of America for allowing this carnage to continue.They have the power to do it,just not the guts to do the right thing,irregardless of whose to blame.God knows theres enough to go around. America would not allow this to happen in any other part of the world. Would someone please explain where this absolute support for Israel comes from. First in Lebanon now in Gaza. For humanitys sake stop this now
