  3. I mean Russia has been using it in Ukraine for a while now. But no one said shit about it so now that Israel uses it, all of a sudden everyone up in arms…I legit saw incendiary munitions being used on Ukrainian towns with civilians still being there

  5. “white phosphorus” has become a generic term for anything that looks remotely scary to a civilian who might want to accuse a side of war crimes, and when that civilian has no idea of what constitutes a war crime. Someone doesn’t like that you shot a bird with a slingshot? White phosphorus. Kicked a dog in the street? White phosphorus.

  6. It’s not illegal. Probably using to light up an area so they can better see the targets.

  9. It may or may not be WP. It could be another type of weapon such as thermite. The usual characteristic of WP is the production of large quantities of smoke but that is difficult to tell at night.

  10. Incendiary ammo isn’t necessarily phosphorus, could be thermite who knows

  11. So apparently no one on social media has ever seen what white phosphorus actually fucking looks like….

  12. Israel don’t commit a war crime: impossible challenge

  13. These war crime accusations are getting silly. The very concept of a war crime is silly. If everyone followed all the rules all the time, no one would ever win. It would just be perpetual war.

    If the US had followed modern international law during WW2, the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese government would be in power.

    Obviously, civilians should not be intentionally targeted. There is no place for rape in war. Ideally, combat should not be conducted in areas where civilians are.

    Beyond that, war is hell. You gotta fight, and fight hard, to win. Israel, Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas are all guilty under the cheap toilet paper we call international law.

  14. So many people on this subreddit would shit a brick if they knew the US military uses the absolute fuck out of Willy Pete… along with EVER SINGLE OTHER MODERN FUCKING MILITARY. It’s not a war crime to use white phosphorus as a target marker, smoke screen, or even incendiary weapon against legit military targets. But “*white phosphorus*” is a scary buzzword that absolutely triggers the uninitiated.

  15. When I was in the Marines during training they pulled the pin on a WP grenade and placed it on top of a huge stack of empty ammo cans. Melted right through that shit, it was crazy seeing it in person. I would not want to be on the receiving end of that.

  18. Thermite? White phosphorus “produces dense, white, irritating smoke”.
