Amnesty International accuses Israel of war crimes
The reputed (maybe because of its technocratic and lawyer style) watchdog Amnesty International has finally said that Israel comitted war crimes in the attacks against Gaza in the last days. Specifically it has been the use of white phosphorus in civilian areas what is considered a war crime by international treaties.
Ironically AI does not mention other weapons that are as dangerous or even more for civilians, like DIME explosives or depeleted uranium shells, as well as conventional ammunition when fired against civilian homes or directly to their bodies, as has been the norm in this democide.
