White phosphorus isn't a chemical weapon. It's an incendiary weapon.
This might seem like an irrelevant distinction but it's really not. Terminology and strict definition is very important.
Using incendiary weapons close to civilians is not even remotely akin to using nerve gas
directly on civilians. Don't try to make it the same.

But Syrian citizans are to be punished for the use of CWs - totally unproven to be used by their military but way more likely used by the terrorizing aggressors?

Wait wait, exactly who are the aggressors here?
