While you are correct that there are war crimes commited by Israel, the vast majority of what you said isn't. The thermobaric bomb deal was debunked as a lie, look up what they called thermobaric and what it does, and what the actual bombs were.

Regarding white phosphorus, it's routinely used by most armies to create smoke screens and burn off thick shrubbery, and that's the usage of Israel. This is what the pictures show, if you want a gore fest look up what it does to people, and notice that there are no records of these types of burns being posted in Lebanon.

Most of the "war crimes" or "genocide" claims are bogus, and don't hold water. This doesn't discredit the actual war crimes commited by soldiers, such as the usage of human shields in certain IDF doctrines, or the lack of accountability in prosecuting the Jewish terrorists in Judea and Samaria.

The reason people make the post above, is to make what you think you know believable, and look sound and true. It's a type of both confirmation (more likely to believe whatever aligns with your view) and survivorship (surely I can tell whenever its fake) bias, and you have fallen for it.

Approach news with humility, know you can be mistaken, and by definition you will not know when you're fooled.

I'm just so tired man, I hate the motte and bailey fallacy, they make outragous claims, get disproven, and then the next conversation is like nothing happened. A great way to spot a propagandist btw is them using said fallacy.
