Comment on Israelis critical of the government
wintermute_oregon@lemm.ee 6 months agoWhite Phosphorus is legal to use. Not sure why people keep repeating it isn’t.
White Phosphorus is used to create a smoke screen to allow your troops to move around. It is only illegal when used as a weapon and you don’t try to minimize civilian casualties.
Israel goes beyond their responsibility to minimize civilians casualties.

@wintermute_oregon Hmm. I never saw any clear confirmation as to why it was used during the war in the one case it was discovered.

Smoke. In an urban environment you need lots of smoke to move around. Otherwise you have to use more force which can risk civilians.
