I thought white phosphorus was banned by the Geneva Convention.

It probably was. I haven't had time to look into all angles of this (I am sick with the flu and saw this a few hours ago), but did notice that Saddam was blasted for using something similar. In the same Wikipedia link I listed above, at the bottom it says the U.S. uses some kind of rationale on why their using it is not a violation.
Yeah I think because they claim it's for night-time lightning when it's used in flares, but I think this is for practice/mock scenarios. Either way it doesn't seem like something that just goes missing and nobody is wiser.
From the Wiki article above:
Isreal uses it.
eg. : https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/oct/23/israel
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/mar/25/israel-white-phosphorus-gaza
I see that the Wikipedia link in my post mentions Israel admitting to using them in 2009. Guessing the average Israeli has about as much say in it as we here in the U.S. have had. Guessing as well it isn't an average topic that takes place for the majority to even have the conversation. I am not a huge fan on war, although I used to study history so read about it enough. I am still ignorant on these warheads, having learnt everything I know about them in the last few hours.
And @baah was correct, the wiki article does say they were banned in the Geneva convention. But when they say banned, it only seems to apply to "rogue" nations not part of the in countries.
Considering the recent UN Security Council's condemnation of Isreal's actions in Gaza, one could consider them a Rogue Nation.

These people are scammers taking donations for running around the desert inventing imaginary scenarios. I watched one of their videos and they were like "look a chair, that's where the human trafficking lookout sat". All I see is an old chair. They find hair dye and of course it's to dye the child trafficking victims hair, what else could it be for? Total nonsense.
They have never found evidence of anything but a homeless camp. There are real charities fighting real human trafficking, don't donate to these clowns, they are either batshit cazy or lying. Or both.
