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.
Because we want Israel to use wp. Wp rounds in guns are the “tracer” rounds and can be used to correct long distance fire… And with modern “smart” artillery shells you can have them hit a course correct in flight to hit a "hot spot* that a drone or operative lit up. This allows you to use artillery without having to flatten several city blocks to hit one target.
Without the use of these sorts of rounds artillery would have to fire significantly less accurate rounds. And like in the Ukraine War, Gaza would be reduced to nothing but rubble. Gaza is so small that Nort Korea has the ability to flatten it with its Artillery setup.
Reasonable. But what I mean is: we should completely deny any military help until they vow to uphold the same military standards as we do. And with “vow” I mean “sign”. In writing.
War is fucked up anyway so demanding upholding some standards isn’t too much to ask in exchange for help, IMO

We do. Our military uses wp rounds too.
The problem is not that wp rounds are used, but how.
Israel isn’t firing off whole volleys of wp rounds. That would be prohibitively expensive.
