Why is #Netanyahu not in The Hague already for war crimes?

Why do so called ‘military lawyers’ consider white phosphorus fine when used to hide their own side’s troop movements - surely exposing them to toxic fumes and risk of chemical burns? But it’s illegal when used on opponent’s built up civilian areas?

Why is the enforced movement of civilians from opponent’s homelands considered a safe and responsible thing to do? Creating a ‘buffer zone’ is in what way legal?

According to a report by the Lebanese non-profit Public Works Studio, white phosphorus was used to burn more than 2,000 hectares (4,940 acres) of southern Lebanese countryside, “including 873 hectares of dense forest with gum trees and vast areas covered with oak and pine trees”.

#WhitePhosphorus can also lie hidden in the soil and spontaneously combust when uncovered by farmers, posing a continuing threat if the people of south #Lebanon are able to return to their homes.’
