      Yeah no. If we are being held in prison and we know we are getting bombed anyway, we gotta use pipes to build defenses rockets. That will fix the problem.

      The fuck you talking about? The article is about Lebanon. You don’t even distinguish between countries because they are all the same to you? That’s ignorant if not racist.

    Bullshit. They just used ordinary smoke shells. There’s no evidence of anything in this post. Amnesty is deep in Russian microdicks pocket.

    Israeli authorities denied that they used white phosphorus in their military operations in Gaza and Lebanon.

    Seems like they’re lying. All of that taken together seems like pretty damning evidence that they do use white phosphorous shells.

    White phosphorus is not considered a chemical weapon because it operates primarily by heat and flame rather than toxicity, making it an incendiary weapon. Its use is governed by Protocol III of the Convention on Conventional Weapons (CCW). Lebanon acceded to the protocol in 2017, but Israel has not.

    Oh. So they’re not bound by the treaty not to use it.
