  1. Using cluster munitions is legal under international law.
    Just a click bait headline by The Guardian, cluster munitions are being used by both Ukraine and Russia, Iran developed a ballistic missile with cluster munitions.

  2. impossible! some guy copypasted an AI summary where it was explained how IDF is most moral army. this must have been planted by civilians

  3. Heres the key part of the article.

    >To date, 124 states have joined the convention on cluster munitions, which forbids their use, production and transfer. Israel is not a party to the convention and is not bound by it.

    This is like complaining an 18 year old was drinking alcohol in Germany because that’s illegal in the USA.

  4. >To date, 124 states have joined [the convention on cluster munitions](https://www.clusterconvention.org/), which forbids their use, production and transfer. Israel is not a party to the convention and is not bound by it.

    The Guardian is complaining Israel uses a weapon countries that aren’t Israel promised they wouldn’t use.

  5. The reason they use cluster munitions is pretty interesting, they do it so that the videos look like ammo cookoffs so they can say “hey look, that house was a Hezbollah bunker after all!”

    Not to mention a significant percentage of them won’t detonate and act like land mines.

  6. Israel and MAGA follow no rules. They are constantly finding new ways to shock the world on how the old norms and values are discarded

  7. It’s always the people you most expect. Insane that any country is dealing with Israel at this point considering ALL of the evidence against them. Despite all of the protesting both regimes in my country have remained utterly silent. Cowards.

  8. I can’t believe that Hamas would run around and plant false evidence in an effort to besmirch the army of the most moral and ethical country in the world.

  9. Israel isn’t signed on any anti cluster munitions conventions, neither is US, neither is russia, neither is china, neither are most countries who have active militaries and not barely trained civilians who LARP as soldiers on UN pisstaking missions (which is most European militaries)
