I don't know about you, but I'm finding it very hard to deal with this.
Please, be respectful -
this thread is not about the conflict between two countries - its about the people of Gaza and demanding an end to what they are going through.
The best way to end what they are going through is for them to stop trying to murder Israelis.
All the Gazans are really going through is the justified self defense against their own aggression.
No Gazan aggression = no need for Israel to defend themselves.

Before you get too upset over various charges being leveled against Israel, you should take into consideration that most of the charges are fabrications by anti-Semites.

Funny how they get accused of that in each war.
How many times does it have to be used before it is no longer a "new" weapon?
That said, there is nothing illegal about using a new type of weapon. Innovation marches on, and new weapons get introduced all the time.
And if we can step back from the propaganda for a second, the entire point of DIME weaponry is that it kills fewer civilians. One would think that people who want to minimize civilian casualties would find this a good thing.
