'shoot them in the legs' of warcrimes
TheOnion and u.s. officials, as noted by the paper of record
simply shoot the children with smaller guns 
People who really want you to buy their new and improved cluster bombs, obviously.
What is a cluster bomb if not a very large collection of smaller bombs?
In this rules based order, the size of the bomb upon detonation is all that matters.
Silly tankie, you know nothing of civilized warfare.
Instead of killing 100 with 1 bomb, they'll kill 200 with 50 bombs.
Think of how this will benefit weapons manufacturers
we've done it. we finally pushed Biden to the left.
smaller but more bombs
clusters of them perhaps
"surely these guys aren't targeting children and families on purpose right?"
Stopping Genocide
Adjusting the Granularity of the Genocide
Ehhh I’m reducing harm jack
i'm REDOOOOOOOOOCING
the 80-year old REDOOOCER
The genocide reduction candidate 
Beyond parody
"We have outlined several steps to Israel to cause civilian casualties in-"
Aide handing me a note just saying "Reduce!"
"That is to say, we have oulined several steps to Israel to reduce the civilian population in-"
Aide frantically whispering "Less people dying!" in my ear
"The US wants lesser people to die."
They're actually doing the centrism meme where you have the right wing saying "I want to do genocide" and the left wing saying "I'm against doing genocide" and then the centrist liberal says "Let's compromise by only genociding half".

While the United States has increased the amount of intelligence that it is sharing with Israel, U.S. officials stressed they are not helping Israel pick targets for strikes.
absolute lies, contradicted by the NYT's own story 2 days ago about how the US is flying reaper drones over gaza to 'look for hostages' and are giving israel leads
And anyway even if it were true - "Yes we know you've shown zero propensity to give any fucks about civilian lives, and sometimes it seems that's actually your aim, but here we'll help you anyway. The civilian casualties are totally on you bro."
It's the moral equivalent of setting up an open bar directly outside of an AA meeting.
This is the harm reduction I voted for 😁
"You don't need to use large bombs, small bombs will suffice because children are smaller and generally have a weaker constitution than adults."
Kinder, gentler ~~machine gun~~ bombing hand
Does this mean the US will send them non-lethal lethal aid in addition to the lethal aid?
Harm Reduction ✅
Thats a protest chant right there. What do we want. Smaller bombs
This is the moderate politics we need
INCREMENTAL PROGRESS! YEAH! I'M SWIFTLY MOVING TOWARDS A SOLUTION THAT PLEASES NOBODY!
This is their attempt at quelling the growing sympathy towards Palestine.
Even this lame-ass shit is probably too much for Israel.
Damn, thought that was an onion article for a second.
just a little one, as a treat
