    This is the sort of collateral damage nobody talks about. Even for these cheering at the bombing of terrorists, you still have to take into account the consequences of your actions, bombing everything to dust has a price.

      The people claiming to cheer at bombing terrorists cheer at murdering brown people. The entire “war on terror” narrative has been a veil and continues to be a veil for white supremacists to enjoy murdering brown people.

        This may surprise you, but “white supremacists” 🙄 Aren’t all that fond of the jews, regardless of their skin tone.

    I admit, first time I read that headline I was like, “WHAT? Israel adding Asbestos to their bombs now? How sinister. What’s next - radon?” It took a minute to get up to speed.

      Same. Per the article, the structures being destroyed have asbestos in them from when they were built; this is the cause of it being released

      Edit: I’ve never before seen a comment like the reply to mine here below that was so clearly made by an AI bot

        Asbestos is a massive curse that the world should never have been put into their buildings. There are tons of buildings all over the world that still have asbestos in them.

          It has great material properties aside from, you know, destroying people’s lungs. So I can understand why the world was eager to use it before understanding the risks.

            The ancient Romans made it a point to not buy slaves from the asbestos mines due to their poor health, it has been known for far too long that asbestos is harmful. It also happens to be insanely useful.

      Because besides the pesky cancer side effect, it’s an incredible building material.
