The phosphorus shells had a computerized targeting system attached to a G.P.S. unit. The definition of indiscriminate is “in a random manner”, but the G.P.S unit reinforces the point that the IDF had specific targets for the phosphorus shells and did not fire them indiscriminately. Israel is among the most moral countries in the world; even at the risk if its own soldiers it routinely drops leaflets in war zones warning of imminent attacks in an effort to avoid civilian casualties. The United States admitingly used white phosphorus shells in its invasion of Iraq in 2003, yet no major controversy erupted from it. Israel is held to a higher standard unparalleled in the international community, so much so that pure acts of self defense are scrutinized. The IDF legally used white phosphorus according to its stated purpose, to create a smokescreen to allow soldiers to move into an area with a decreased threat of meeting unseen resistance.

War is nasty. If you don't like they effects of war, then stop hating each other. It don't matter what methods you use its called war. You people are blinded by so much these days because you live in your comfy environments and never really understood what it means to be in war. It's not a good thing. It's not great what Israel is doing to Gaza, but Gaza should have seen this coming and stopped resisting. If the Gaza civilian support Gazas actions then why should the result be against the other side. Think people lol. Welcome to war. War is nasty.

So, if there are jews writing against this nasty war, think they are reflecting to their better instincts of justice as human beings. If I remember correctly, it was a powerful jewish politician from CA, Howie Berman that said he was zionist before he was a democrat. The problem is there a lot of them out there in congress and in powerful positions that muffles the voices of justice. First, we have to recognize human dignity before we can call ourelf jews, christians or moslems. In response to Hillel, you have to be a human being before you can consider yourself a jew.
