Two quotes from you on the use of White Phosphorus in Gaza
"They are quotes of me NOT defending the use of white phosphorus in Gaza. "White phosphorus is used for illumination and making smoke, but it does burn.
That is how it makes light and smoke."

"Phosphorus is not that toxic.
In Gaza smoke munitions were used to create smoke."

"I said it was wrong and deplorable"
Where have you said it - you have claimed you have said it but you never have.
Here you are claiming to have said it?

"Failing to deny is not an admission Jim."
It most certainly is:
Flechettes are marginally allowable against combatants - against civilians they are a banned weapon.
Israel has them as part of their weaponry and it has used them before.
If it had not used them they would have denied carrying out a war crime - they have not.
i ask again BY WOSE AUTHORITY OTHER THAN YOUR OWN DO YOU DENY THEIR USE, OR EVEN QUESTION IT?
Your main defence of Israeli war crimes hs been that if they had committed them they would have been condemned by democratic nations - support by silence.
You appear to be wanting one rule for you and one for the rest of us again.
"What about all the suffering and death, on a vaster scale, over Israel's other border?"
What has this to do with what has happened in Gaza?
