Israel is now using White Phosphorus in Gaza. White Phosphorus is not an illegal weapon. It is however, to be used under very strict regulations. The most relevant of these is that it is not to be used on personnel. This includes the prohibition of use against military combatants as well as civilians. A person coming in contact with this substance will suffer horrific burns, and the heat will peal the skin from the bone. Having bombed UNRWA schools, hospitals, and ambulances, it is clear that Israel is intentionally targeting civilians. And now its clear they are even doing this with illegally used weaponry.

I blame both the people and the government. I blame the government because the law doesn't seem to apply to everyone, and not all of the law is applied. To explain this, here...

And here is the verdict: Coverage in my area was good, as long as the modem was near or outside a window. I live in Al-Jubeiha Area Bandwidth was near the amount I paid for but always less Torrent traffic is shaped, don't expect anything above 32KB After forgetting a couple of torrents uploading at full speed for a few days, I found out that I was getting around 56kbps, about the same speed a quick dial up phone connection If you reach around 20GB of total upload+download in a month, you will be dropped down to 128kbps, but you will be really getting around 56kbps On support Calling support is a hit and miss deal. Meaning that you may or may not get through Getting through to support is a hit and miss deal.
