    What about bombing humanitarian aide locations or using white phosphorus as a weapon?

      Same thing applies to humanitarian aid.

      If Hamas has hijacked or is operating in those places then they become military targets.

      As far as white phosphorus, it depends on how it’s deployed. If it’s deployed for masking, tracing or identifying then it’s legal.

      If it’s being directly used as an incendiary then that’s illegal.

        The point I’m making is both of those situations happened (good banks got bombed immediately after the convoy left and they have been using white phosphorus on people) and people are just looking the other way.

          The news media made the same claims against the US concerning white phosphorous and that was not true so my burden of proof concerning white phosphorous is so high it actually supports the opposing narrative without some damn good evidence.
