  • Okay, and how is that relevant? Is it his fault or something?

    I really don’t get why you think it’s relevant at all when we are talking about a civilian’s death.

    Some idiot said “who cares” about his death because apparently Israeli civilians don’t deserve to live or something I dunno. I said that the victim was still a civilian.

    And you essentially just shrugged. The only way I can interpret that is that you think Israeli civilian lives don’t matter.

    Please just fuck off, people like you just make everyone else believe that supporters of Palestine are bad people (or as they put it “Nazis”) and that they think that Israel should be cleansed. I’m not saying you think that but you have a special ability to be a fucking idiot and say shit that some would possibly attribute to “Nazis”.

    TLDR: Just fuck off.


















  • Yes, that’s what the article says, but:

    #A need for legal clarity on use

    International law does not classify white phosphorous as a chemical or incendiary weapon, and its use in war is not prohibited, said Houchang Hassan-Yari, professor emeritus of politics and international relations at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ont. But its impact when used in civilian areas muddies the waters.

    “Generally speaking, the bomb is used to blind the anti-air system of the other side because the fume that it generates covers the attackers,” Hassan-Yari said. “But the consequence if the bomb is used against the humans, many believe is a war crime. So it’s not very clear cut … and there is a need for clarity by UN agencies to confirm whether this bomb should … be identified as a chemical weapon.”

    ##What counts as a chemical weapon and how to tell who’s using one

    According to groups like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the use of white phosphorous bombs, which ignite when in contact with oxygen, in densely populated areas — like the 365 sq. km Gaza Strip that is home to more than two million people — violates international humanitarian law.
