white phosphorus is not illegal. It’s perfectly legal to use it for cover.
it’s illegal to use it as a weapon against civilians or against military targets in civilian areas.
There’s no evidence that Israel is using it as a weapon.
America used it in Iraq, then denied it, then admitted and said they would stop using it in future.
And not a word of condemnationfrom them for 8 years or rockets. Its as if the whole world is blind.
MSNBC REPORTED TODAY THAT IT LOOKS LIKE ISRAEL HAS USED PHOSPORUS. MSNBC FURTHER REPORTED THAT THE UNITED STATES USES PHOSFORUS AND THAT IT IS NOT ILLEGAL TO USE. SCORE ANOTHER ONE FOR THE RED CROSS BEING FAIR WHEN IT COMES TO ISRAEL.
With all due respect to YWN
I was wondering why the general news was really lacking the last couple of days. Of course the number one issue on everyones mind is eretz yisroel but if the actual anchormen are involved in collecting the news your
Being on top of the yeshiva world in general will suffer!
Showing pictures and videos is great but you can’t be on top of everything if all your resources are busy with them.
Its almost like yeshiva world decided to go on a trip and somehow make it seem usefull for everyone! I would expect better from YWN!
He should have a Refuah Shleima.

what’s phosporus?
