It’s worth noting that ‘banned weapons’ never stoped the #US from using #ClusterBombs nor #Israel from using #WhitePhosphorous bombs in their illegal aggressions.
cognitively accessible math@RaymondPierreL3 I KNOW RIGHT ?!?!?
D Ingram@RaymondPierreL3 F24 fails to mention that the "ban" is only for countries that have signed the treaty, but neither Israel, Iran or the USA have signed said treaty. There are many states that are not parties to the treaty. https://www.clusterconvention.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/CCM-Universalization-Status-by-Region-updated-10-March-2026.pdf

True. Doesn’t let non-signatories off the hook though — bunch of vicious war-mongers.

@RaymondPierreL3 Agree 100%, cluster munitions are evil. However it doesn't make them illegal, especially when both belligerents are not signatories.

True. I guess there’s no getting away from the old saying:’all is fair in love and war’. It just riles me (yelling into the void) when one side is condemned for such usages when the other side does as well.

@RaymondPierreL3 And no surprise that Israel has not signed onto Article III of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (use of incendiary weapons).
