    Is that illegal or just horrible?

      War is hell, which is why starting one is just about the most evil thing you can do.

      There is a treaty banning the use of cluster munitions, but neither the US, Isntreal, nor Iran are a signatory. Any attempt to use moral outrage by Isntreal or US media is pure propaganda.

      Given that the abhorrent Zionist country occupying Palestine has never once followed “international law” in a conflict and just in the last 2 years has massacred thousands upon thousands of children intentionally, I’d say they have lost the privilege of “legal” warfare being waged against them.

      Not defending it or supporting, but legality is often ignored when the order for both sides is to scorch the earth.

        That does seem to be the case indeed. All these children being murdered on purpose these past years. It’s really taking the fun out of being a human being on earth.

      I’m not sure why you received the down votes you did, but I also seem to remember using cluster munitions being a war crime, or there being some treaty on it? Which is what this is, right?
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_on_Cluster_Munitions (to be clear, im not making a judgement on their use here)

        If you are using cluster bombs against an enemy that blows up more than 100 girls in a school, is it really a war crime or is in a war crime neutralizer?
