But yeah, this is probably a war crime. 😞 You’d think Israel would know better with their history.
From the nakba, to their initiation of the six day war and the resulting ethnic displacement of some 400k people, to their 80s invasion of Lebanon and the resulting ethnic cleansing at Sabra and Shatila, to their siege on gaza since 2008 targeting civilians by cutting off food and building materials and regular bombings, to their reaction to the peaceful march of return protests (snipers targeting the elderly, children, and the disabled), to the current ongoing well-documented genocide, what is it about the history of Israel that makes you think they should know better? They’re literally built on war crimes and atrocities.
If you’re talking about the holocaust, that’s part of the history of Jewish people, not that of Israel. And many Jewish people do criticize Israel for its war crimes, precisely because of the holocaust. Israel is not the same as the Jewish people, and conflating the two is actually kind of antisemitic.
What a relief! , Here I was thinking it was an incendiary non-discriminate weapon that could horribly maim civilians if used in a densely populated city like beirut.
Is there an image available with a higher resolution? Because you can’t really see what is being bombed in the picture. Using white phosphorous is only a war crime if it is used close to civilians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munition#International_law
This is the image. (I use imagus or hover zoom which enlarges images all over the web upon hover)
There do appear to be civilian buildings with lights on in the image.
Combatants fight in civilian areas regularly.
Are you trying to say they’re targeting it at the combatants and therefore it is OK to use it in a civilian area?
Because the photo just above makes it pretty obvious that it isn’t a weapon that can be used in a targeted fashion.
It’s been replaced by a picture of Joe Biden, so I dunno. That said:
Israel has no credibility when it comes to war crimes against civilians.

I meant the fact that in the past decades a lot of them moved to Israel, because they fled from somewhere else.
That’s called settler colonialism
Could also just be thermite

Yay normalization of barbarity!
