The Observer in Britain Issues Correction: Israel Did Not Use Chemical Weapons in Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - The Observer in Britain issued a correction on Sunday after equating the use of white phosphorous by Israel in Gaza to the use of chemical weapons by Syrian President Assads. "Contrary to the impression given... white phosphorus, used by Israeli forces in Gaza in 2008, is not a chemical weapon as understood by the Chemical Weapons Convention, and its use is in itself not in breach of all international conventions." The spokesman for the Israeli Embassy in London, Yiftah Curiel, had asked for the correction, calling the request "an example of zero tolerance for disinformation."
