They are using white phosphorus on populated areas in South Lebanon. That's as vile as one can get.

Be that as it may, carpet bombing has a specific meaning, and it's not bombing one's not on board with.

		In the context of Iran I agree with you. Not so sure about South Lebanon. From whatever media coverage I saw, some look not that different from carpet bombing.

Evidence for the claim?

		Human Rights Watch claim it, and have analysed photographs put on social media https://www.hrw.org/news/2026/03/09/lebanon-israel-unlawfull... (they have also previously documented that Israel has done this in the past)

I always loved the "white phosphorous" stuff. The meme appeared on reddit out of nowhere, and once it did it made everyone who heard it completely utterly stupid. Suddenly it's a chemical weapon, the worst sort of atrocity anyone's heard of.

The meme will never die. Skynet could be hunting down the last of humanity hiding in caves, and those humans will be crying "maybe it will just be nukes, please god, don't let the robots white phosphorous us!".

		I have handled this stuff (from remnants of unexploded munitions) and I know what it is. It is not spectacular but it is vile and terrifying. No amount of your "rape, oh that's just surprise sex" will diminish what it is.
