"The M825 smoke rounds, fired from 155mm howitzers, have legitimate use on the battlefield, including signaling friendly troops, marking targets and producing white smoke that conceals soldiers from the eyes of enemy forces."
Pretty much sums it up. Thanks for another nothingburger.

Biden has gone full blood libel. If Israel has to go it alone, the Palestinians will suffer far more. I hope that doesn't happen, because I actually want what is best for the Palestinians, unlike (moderator edit):
Give up the eternal fight to ethnically cleanse Jews from the ME.
Give up the lies about history.
Give up teaching children to hate.
Give up weapons and terror.
Give up the hostages.
Give up Hamas.
Choose actual peace.
Choose a bright future for their children.
Choose democracy.
Choose rule of law.
What those people are saying in the videos is telling.

Oh wow. For those who say that it's all about the cruel treatment that Israelis perpetrate upon the poor Palestinians...

It's fair to say what you want. But it's not fair to speak for others, especially with generalizations and broad, sweeping judgments that quite frankly aren't true. I'm sure you can find examples of *extreme* leftists who may have said things that could be twisted into something that equates to the opposite of your list, but most of the people I know on the left would agree with everything you listed, with the caveat that they can't give up on the first 6 because they never supported them to begin with.

A lot depends on the intent of using the white phosphorus rounds. The US has used WP since WW II when it was discovered that it could cause injuries if people came in contact with it. Since then it has sometimes been used as a munition to cause direct harm, but it is intended as a form of smoke generation on the battlefield to aid in concealing your troop movements. When used in this way, it has some advantages over conventional smoke generators which is why it's still in the US inventory.
Using WP with the intent to cause injuries is a war crime. Using it for it's original intended purpose is not.
The PLO and Hamas are different entities. I wouldn't believe much of anything coming from Hamas, regardless. I would simply interpret that statement as a signal that Hamas is running scared.

Calls to genocide have been happening for thousands of years. They're widespread. The whole of the region is essentially Judenfrei, except for Israel, including every inch that the Palestinians control. What's your point?“Intifada” according to that anti-Israel organisation, the ADL
No mention of it being a call to genocide. However, no guarantee that it will remain like this for long. So I took screenshots.
If the Palestinians wanted peace, they could literally create the state they wanted. They could welcome Jews with open arms. "Come live with us in peace in the West Bank and Gaza. Come join us in Jordan and Lebanon, friends. We see you and love you." Also pigs can fly.
Latest poll taken last week - Palestinians (especially those in the West Bank) really dig Hamas and what they did on 10/7.
This is interesting too.

Sister of Miko Peled, Nurit Peled-Elhanan, on the Israeli education system & the social class system. Her daughter, Smadar, was killed in a Palestinian suicide attack in 1997.
I suspect some of the posters here are a product of the Israeli education system.
.. so I won’t blame them or even respond to them (I don’t want to hit my head against a brick wall).

Literally her first statement was "Palestinian Schools don't preach hate because even if they wanted to, they couldn't have because they are monitored by Israel.....World Bank.....European Union."Sister of Miko Peled, Nurit Peled-Elhanan, on the Israeli education system & the social class system.

Beyond delusional.
Don’t put words in her mouth and put out partial quotes. Let people see it and make up their own mind.
What I understood is that the Palestinian mainstream curriculum (including text books) and schools are funded by Western institutions such as the World Bank & the European Union. I am not delusional enough to think that such “reputed” institutions in the west such as the World Bank & EU will fund something without actually monitoring what they fund. But others are free to make up their own mind.
As shown above in my previous post, according to the ADL, saying “Intifada” is not antisemitic or even showing hostility to Jews.

I believe I quoted her accurately.
The anti-Semitism pumped out of UNRWA supported schools is well documented.
The Palestinians we see supporting Hamas and Islamic Jihad did not become murderous psychopathic death-cults without some major indoctrination.
