Human Rights Watch on Thursday accused Israel of using white phosphorus munitions in its military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, saying the use of such weapons puts civilians at risk of serious and long-term injury.
Can I understand why Hamas would want to do this, sure , because I have empathy by the bucket load and can understand that having your land taken from you over decades and nothing changes could leave them to believe they have no choice.
Is it still wrong? It sure is.
Does that give Israel the right to use white phosphorus on the most densely populated place on Earth? I think not. What do you think?
So I haven’t checked the whole story on the Willy Pete. I can’t conceive of a reason to use it, frankly. The reason the US used it in Fallujah, Mosul, and Raqqa was to clear canopies sometimes put over the streets in that part of the world. I wouldn’t think it’s anymore terrifying than airplanes dropping JDAM and such. I’ll take a look.
so that justifies the bombing of civillians?

Answer my question first.
Both sides are terrorists, yes. Glad we could agree on this.
You still don’t answer the question. Is terrorism justified?
I’ll answer that.
No it is not justified.

Thans for at least an answer.
Oh, you asked me a question…

I don’t know why my comment is not showing, nor your reply (only shows as a reply in my inbox but not on the post). You didn’t answer my question?
I’ve edited and answered. This sub seems to have a problem with me
It’s probably because you’re a dickhead.
