'Palestinians' admit to using white phosphorus, claim they got it from Israel
The 'Palestinians' have admitted that they shot rockets laden with white phosphorus into Israel on Wednesday. The 'Palestinians' claim that they got the chemical from Israeli rockets that did not explode during Operation Cast Lead. An activists in one of the Palestinian organizations admitted in a conversation with Ynet that a number of the mortar shells fired on Wednesday into the Eshkol Regional Council indeed contained phosphorus. According to him, the phosphorus was extracted from Israeli rockets and missiles fired at the Gaza Strip during Operation Cast Lead that did not detonate.But Israel used white phosphorus as a smokescreen, which is completely legal. The 'Palestinians,' on the other hand, attempted to use it as a chemical weapon. But hey, what's another chemical weapon between friends?
However, according to him, the Palestinian organizations do not intend to make extensive use of phosphorus bombs. "We don't have the phosphorus the Israelis are speaking of," he said.

No condemnation from the usual suspects.
And no - you won't hear Judge Goldstone upbraid the Palestinians for this violation. Its a "war crime" only if the Jews use it.
Then again, what's a little hypocrisy between Israel's critics?
What could go wrong indeed
