    What war crimes? There is a difference between war and war crimes and hardly anybody on this site knows the difference.

      This site?

      The perfectly homogenous lemmy?

      I’m talking about intentionally targeting civilian population which is a defined war crime.

      How do you figure it is not?

      • bombing civilian infrastructure which is likely to have families, children, non combatants inside is a war crime.
      • collective punishment is a war crime.
      • forcible relocation is a war crime.
      • ordering civilians to a new area and then bombing them en route or on arrival is intentional targeting of civilians, and therefore a war crime.
      • blockading a population within an area which you are actively shelling is a war crime.
      • depriving a population of non combatants of food and water and fuel is a war crime.
      • bombing a convoy of ambulances is a war crime.
      • bombing a refugee camp is a war crime.
      • killing reporters is a war crime.
      • use of white phosphorus on civilian targets is a war crime.

      Israel has done all of these things. There is no excuse for war crimes. It doesn’t matter how evil the enemy is, you are not allowed to do these things and not be a war criminal.
