Weapons of Mass Destruction

[TheHumbleWun]

The use of white phosphorus in and of itself is not a war crime, but the Geneva Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons does prohibit its use against civilian populations, or against military forces co-located with civilians.

Salaam,

Brothers & sisters do you see the contradictions in their law. What military purpose does this white phosphorus serve? Since it's so severe, shouldn't it be labeled as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction" (WMD), thus it should be banned from every nation to create it. It's a risk to the innocent.

"Weapons of Mass Destruction" is relative to the parties at war. When Palestinians who have nothing t-shirts and rocks in their hands to fight against the Zionists, who wear armored vests, are supplied by the U.S. with heavy artillery such as Bradley tanks, Zelda 2 tanks, F-161s, naval ships, C-RAM, assualt rifles and submachine guns that kill people and blow buildings instantly with the pull of a trigger....these are Weapons of Mass Destruction!

Many people have failed to understand the underlying logic behind those words, including the U.S., it's allies, the U.N., etc.
