      You’ll find that I’m critical of both sides in this conflict. I believe Israel and Hamas governments are in the wrong, have killed innocent people, and both should be dissolved and held accountable. This is the result of putting extremists in power.

        I think once you start using chemical weapons such as white phosphorus, a chemical agent so controversial Call of Duty had to remove it as a killstreak after backlash, you have lost the plot so hard that anyone willing to defend Israel after this are just transparently ignorant or monsters.

          White phosphorus is used in smoke and illumination kits. It is not only used as an incendiary weapon.

            It is only legal to be used in smoke or illumination purposes.

            It is being used for neither by Israel.

                  From the article:

                  Reuters could not independently verify the rights group’s accounts.

                  The fucking hubris on some of you guys is insane.

                    And you’re fucking retarded.

                    Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.

                    I don’t give two fucks what Reuters could independently verify. We have confirmed reports, images, and videos of children with holes burned into their bodies. They did this shit in 2009 as well. You’re on Lemmy but incapable of figuring out a fucking search engine? I don’t have patience for morons anymore.
