I chose my words carefully after verifying their definitions.

And I believe in "Never Again", in any holocaust, genocide, apartheid, and similar - they should never be done.

Israel's government is hellbent on all of those things pertaining to the Gaza strip and the Palestinians.

Again, I would have figured the descendants of "The Holocaust" would have recognized that even war has limitations, and would have actually held to the ideal of "Never Again". But it really was turned into "Never again to us".

And to your "You're in a war. Famine and bombs are a war.".... There are indeed limitations, which Israel is grossly violating.

international humanitarian law prohibits the starvation of civilians as a method of warfare (API Art. 54, APII Art. 14

The use of white phosphorus may violate Protocol III (on the use of incendiary weapons) of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCCW) in one specific instance: if it is used, on purpose, as an incendiary weapon directly against humans in a civilian setting.

You seem to be the only person with proof they used any incendiary bombs in non-permitted situations. Please post the source to these wild claims.
"Confirmed True" based on 2 tweets (one of them from the iranians) and a few articles that all cite the same sources... lol, textbook fake... Israel could have leveled Gaza in an afternoon... most countries would have done that... I kind of wish they did and this would be over.
