Human Rights Watch says Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza, Lebanon - Lemmy.ca

Genocide
How? Hamas attacked Israel. So Hamas is committing genocide on itself? Seems like a leopard eating you face move.
We got a big brain over hurrr
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 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.

Got a source?
Yeah you’re literally commenting on it.

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 them children with holes burned into their bodies. You’re on Lemmy but incapable of figuring out a fucking search engine? I don’t have patience for morons anymore.

IDF is doing enough shitty stuff already I don’t know why you think we need to spread misinformation to muddy the waters. Nothing you added supports your previous statement. I understand there’s a lot of anger around but you’re playing into their hands
I literally posted a source of them doing it prior and the article you’re still fucking commenting on is claiming they’re doing it again but sure, give them the benefit of the doubt when we have evidence they’ve already been doing it. My anger is shared between Israel and the people trying to defend the IDF when shown clear proof of the war criminals they are. What else could they fucking do before you’re willing to condemn them?
This article’s only evidence is the witness testimony of a human rights group. Was there anything else? My point is the IDF is already pretty awful without having to make stuff up, otherwise we are just muddying the waters
