12. The burn cases you refer to do not appear to be from WP
White phosphorus burns thru flesh and muscle to the bone, leaving distinctive deep holes and smoldering wounds that cannot be extinguished with water. The skin-burn cases being used for the propaganda you refer to show none of these identifying signs. Even the Palestinian Doctors making this claim seemed to realize it wouldn't stand up, hedging their statements with a disclaimer that they didn't know what WP burns look like. The Red Cross does know what it looks like, and would not have made this statement if they had seen any actual cases.
