      Its been reported 1000s of times for decades. Israel doesn’t deny it’s use either, they just lie about the purpose of it’s use.

      Majority of countries have signed onto international agreements to not use it during war because of how detrimental it is.

      Israel uses it on civilian populations but lies about its battle use to get away with harming civilians and the growing fields that they depend on.

      Edit: And to beat you to the hollow response, its been reported by the UN and the Human Rights Watch (UN Partners)

        If the UN investigates and determines that Israel is using white phosphorus, the UN could condemn Israel.

          The UN has officially condemned Israel well over 100 times. I doubt one more will make much difference.

            Did the US join the condemnation? If the UN determines that Israel has been using White Phosphorus in a way which violates the Geneva Convention, the US might join. Otherwise, Trump will have to explain the reason.

              That’s an awesome level of naivety. Dude, wake up, Israel is committing genocide in broad daylight and the Orange is enabling them. You think some phosphorus will change anything?

                Yes, because proving the use of white phosphorus in violation of the Geneva Convention is easier.

                What’s wrong with suggesting that the UN investigate? Meghan Markle says she is the most trolled person in the world. Her only offense is marrying Prince Harry.

                  The usa may join lol. The usa is still defending israel and refuse to acknowledge the genocide in Gaza. Like people also said it is already confirmed that israel use it

              Trump will have to explain the reason.

              Trump hasn’t had any sane explanation for anything he has done this term. He doesn’t care. He just mumbles some gibberish and attacks the next country.

                Even if he doesn’t care, he would still have to explain the reason he is not condemning Israel for illegally using white phosphorus.

                  You seem to have been misinformed about how things work in this world. Maybe try reading some newspapers.

          lol what is that going to do to a fascist imperialistic madman? It’s like Chuck Schumer’s “strongly worded letters” to Trump

            It would be embarrassing to Israel since they deny using it against the rules of the Geneva Convention.

              What’s embarrassing is that the country trying to be a Jewish ethnostate is committing genocide. If that is not embarrassing enough, a violation of the Geneva convention definitely won’t be worse for them.

                Both would be embarrassing but proving the illegal use of white phosphorus would be easier.

      It’s true, there were videos of it a few months ago. They’ve been using it for a long time
