    I respect the work you’ve put in to make your post, but the problem is, despite incendiary weapons being illegal, WP gets a pass because armies claim they’re not using it for incendiary weapons but for smoke rounds and tracers.

    Also, war crimes mean sweet fuck all these days. The only reason why Nazis were ever tried for war crimes was because they lost a war. Badly. And they didn’t have nuclear weapons. In modern times, any nuclear power facing a critical loss in war is likely to detonate their nuclear arsenal and bring about a worldwide nuclear holocaust which kills every single person on Earth through MAD.

      In much the same way that I can take a perfectly legal kitchen knife and go on a stabbing spree, Israel are transparently using WP smoke bombs as incendiary weapons - something they’ve committed to not do several times… For definitely not warcrimes reasons… After constantly lying to say they didn’t do it… For definitely not warcrimes reasons.

      Also, war crimes mean sweet fuck all these days.

      This says it all.

      I’m hearing so many echoes of the narcissists prayer in Israel’s defence…

      I didn’t do it

      But if I did it wasn’t a problem

      And if it was, it wasn’t my fault

      And if it was, then I didn’t mean it

      And if I did then you deserved it.
