Human Rights Watch says Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza, Lebanon
Human Rights Watch says Israel used white phosphorus in Gaza, Lebanon
That last sentence pisses me off:
White phosphorus is considered an incendiary weapon under Protocol III of the Convention on the Prohibition of Use of Certain Conventional Weapons. The protocol prohibits using incendiary weapons against military targets located among civilians, although Israel has not signed it and is not bound by it.
Why the fuck do we give them any military support then? If their reason is true (“we need help to defend ourselves”), there is no reason why they couldn’t sign a fucking protocol for minimizing casualties.
