    Heh, you fucking moron, you FUCKING ABSOLUTE BUFFOON, it's not a "chemical" weapon it's actually an incendiary weapon.

    Anyways it can't be a war crime cause Hamas is technically everywhere so all targets are terrorist targets, read a book.

      "That middle schooler? She might be a Hamas leader daughter so kidnapping her and all their friends it's just a counter-terrorism measure"

      "Oh so we might have tortured and killed all those middleschoolers we kidnapped, do you have any proof of that? Like even where we took them? Anyways, Hamas always use middleschoolers as soldiers so if they ended up in a undisclosed mass grave that would be good anyways"

        The common argument when it comes to Israel is to just "mournfully" say that Hamas are hiding behind civilians and that it is on the civilians to get rid of them before Israel make the civilians into collateral damage.

          I had someone tell me that if Palestinians don't leave their homes when Israel says they will bomb them, its actually the Palestinians killing their own families.

          Resistance against tyranny is romanticised and praised in literally the whole fucking world except when it comes to Israel, where the right thing to do is to lay down and suffer.

        "Anyone who runs is Hamas, anyone who stands still is well disciplined Hamas!"

        "How can you bomb women and children?"

        "Easy, They shouldn't have been near Hamas!" psychotic laughter "Ain't this conflict too complex to take sides?"

    "Targets not majority civilian by proximity"

    that sounds like a lot of words for "yes we killed a few civilians"

    Even if it was being used as a smoke screen in this case, that still doesn't excuse the fact that it has been used as a weapon before and never mind the bombing campaign going on right now in the first place. These fucking dumb asses think arguing semantics on these little issues somehow excuses them.

    "Well you see the 50mm rounds were used as projectiles not bullets. They weren't meant to kill anyone just penetrate them."

    This is reminiscent of the Drone/Torture papers. Just ghoulish legal speak to dress up disgusting acts as legitimate.

    Just as a reminder that White Phosphorus got its start in use against civilians in ww2 by the American Army and Air Corps.
