Double standards?

WAS John O’Sullivan (MoS letters, April 15) as outraged when Israel used white phosphorous on civilians in Gaza as he is about an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria?

Israel has never had a problem carrying out airstrikes on Palestinian hospitals, schools or civilians. Practically all countries have criticised Israel’s appalling treatment of the Palestinians.

People are rightly appalled at the situation in Syria, but where’s the outrage about the situation in Yemen, where Saudia Arabia, Israel’s new best friend, is using US and UK weapons to massacre civilians?
