For two days, Shaymaa Ziara has been seeing messages in WhatsApp group chats from family and friends in Gaza about how to keep themselves safe from white phosphorous bombs that are allegedly part of Israel’s airstrikes on Gaza.
Ziara, who lives in Markham, Ont., said her father, three siblings and pregnant sister-in-law are currently in Gaza, moving from building to building in an effort to avoid the constant bombardments from Israel since hostilities began after Hamas militants launched a stunning and brutal attack in Israel on Saturday.
Videos of white phosphorus munitions allegedly deployed in Gaza have been circulating online for several days.
On Thursday, Human Rights Watch said it has confirmed that these munitions are being used over the Gaza City port using videos posted on Oct. 10 and 11, and interviewing two people from the al-Mina area in Gaza City who described the strikes.
They know the West will support them no matter what. This is actually not the first time they use white phosphorus in Gaza, and nobody did anything about it.

Not actively trying to raise civilian casualties would be a good start.

Bro have you heard of Israel giving evacuation locations then bombing those locations? Bombing hospitals? Giving an evacuation order that, even if carried successfully, would cause untold amounts of death and suffering?
Well they kinda fucked themselves in accepting Hamas as the legitimate government which means they are in fact bound by international human rights and war crime laws.
Absolutely. Biden has been a Zionist for longer than I’ve been alive. The western powers can’t be convinced, not because of Hamas recent actions - but because it took a lot less to convince them, and they’ve held those beliefs before through and after Hamas’ most recent attack.
