They are using white phosphorus on populated areas in South Lebanon. That's as vile as one can get.

Be that as it may, carpet bombing has a specific meaning, and it's not bombing one's not on board with.

  In the context of Iran I agree with you. Not so sure about South Lebanon. From whatever media coverage I saw, some look not that different from carpet bombing.

  Human Rights Watch claim it, and have analysed photographs put on social media https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/03/09/lebanon-israel-unlawfully-using-white-phosphorus https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/03/09/lebanon-israel-unlawfull... (they have also previously documented that Israel has done this in the past)

  I have handled this stuff (from remnants of unexploded munitions) and I know what it is. It is not spectacular but it is vile and terrifying. No amount of your "rape, oh that's just surprise sex" will diminish what it is.

  Reasonable people know to take your flippant tone for the colorful warning of a rotten, toxic brain.

      > White phosphorous is a way to light up the night sky during warfare Lol No. Hilariously no. The thing to use to light up night sky is Magnesium (mostly, also aluminum. nowadays specialized resins). The primary use of WP is for smoke, but it is used illegally as an incendiary munition. For someone who talks so much about WP I did not expect this level of ignorance. Empty vessels sounds much, I suppose. Use of WP is banned * in warfare by international treaty, on the grounds of avoiding unnecessary cruelty and suffering. There are other banned weapons, for example, dumdum bullets. *There is a specific exception made for WP, which the Israeli army habitually and illegally abuses. No other army is known to be a repeat offender with regards to WP. It's use in an area with civilian population is strictly prohibited. Cliffs are not. Given the number of false equivalences you have been drawing you sound like a shill.

        >but it is used illegally as an So prove it. Prosecute those people. Whining that bad people do illegal things is asinine. >*There is a specific exception made for WP, which the Israeli army habitually and illegally abuses. You mean it's not actually illegal. I'm honestly not a big fan of Israel, but until we can locate all six of their submarines that launch the Popeye Turbo nuclear cruise missiles and destroy them (at sea, hopefully) with megaton nuclear first strikes, Israel gets to do whatever they want. They'll Samson all of Europe, North America too. But that might be a little too harsh... you're still hoping to shame them into behaving. Or something.

  > The meme appeared on reddit out of nowhere (...) I have no idea where you came up with that. White phosphorous has over a century of use in industrial warfare. It's widely used as incendiary weapon even in anti-personnel roles. This is direct violation of the Geneva convention. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_phosphorus_munition You can't argue this fact away by claiming it a reddit meme.

Indeed, Israel and the US are quite vile. I have said so many times on placard which have then been ripped apart by the Israeli police. I only made a comment about the term "carpet bombing", as that is a specific term which means something else than "wide-scale bombing".
