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.

    So Israel wants to kill civilians in Gaza? How ludicrous! They must have been doing exactly that for all these years, every single day! I wonder what happened right now that their drive to kill civilians peaked so much! Palestinians are totally innocent and don’t want to kill civilians in Israel though, right? This never happened, or did I miss anything?

      Of course they don’t. I think you’re mistaking Hamas for the general palestinian population

        That’s only because hamas actively tries to be mistaken for general Palestinian population.

            Israel tries, as we can see. Hamas, on the other hand, doesn’t care about whether it is military or citizens.

              No… they don’t actually. Using white phosphorus on a heavily populated city doesn’t look like doing your best to pick out the good from the bad, it looks like killing everything that can die.

                Want to use one example to win an argument? I could do the same: using a baby doll to try to convince the public that Palestinian babies are getting killed by Israel makes you look like a lying scum instead of a victim.
