      It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.

      Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.

      Which is a war crime.

      “Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…

        You are using a term you don’t fully understand to try to cudgle popular opinion without acknowledging your own hypocrisy of not acknowledging that this began with the slaughter of civilians to begin with. I’m sure countries like Iran love you for it,

        You don’t know if it’s a short time. The time is not specified. If Hamas uses human shields, is that not a war crime?

            Hey, you’re not allowed to talk about the decades of an apartheid state’s treatment of these people or the systematic destruction of their infrastructure to be stolen by illegal settlers or the fact that Israel is directly responsible for creating Hamas; all the history for this conflict started like 6 months ago!

              No, no, that’s a very long time filled with heinous acts that we cannot let surface. This conflict started 6 days ago.

            Where do you think Hamas is at? This happens every time. Hamas uses human shields of Palestinians. israel bombs their ass in the houses they hang out is. Liberals get upset and scream war crime. Israeli then stops.

            But, will that happen this time? By my reading the answer is no. Israel will make a full force invasion and much blood will be spilled on both sides.

            Instead of carrying Hamas water, you should support, as I do, the US Secretary of State who knows what is coming and is trying to setup humanitarian corridors for the humanitarian crisis that is sure to come.

          Yes if Hamas uses human shields, and that is actually a war crime, which I have to believe it is but loopholes and exclusions abound in treaties, then that IS a war crime. Full stop.

          Does that make it okay for others to commit war crimes?

          If someone rapes or kills someone daughter, does that mean that the father gets a free pass to rape or murder the original rapist/murderer’s daughter even though she had nothing to do with it other than by happenstance of being the rapist/murderer’s daughter?

          Just to reiterate, Hamas committing war crimes is Bad!

              Yes, that’s sort of how human Shields work.

              If you’re willing to kill an innocent to get your way you’re the bad guy in that situation.

              And just to be perfectly clear here, I do live in America, and we have been the bad guy many fucking times.

              I fucking hate it and I don’t understand why none of the rest of you can learn from our fuck ups.

                No country, not even the US, is not going to defend 8tself after being attacked. If human shields are used, you can try to take precautions but shit does happen when you’re being shot at.

                  The human shields they have are Israeli this time.

                  Not just those filthy palestine non human animals, so yeah I bet it does work.

                  I really hope at some point you become better than this, until then enjoy backing genocide.

                  I don’t care about the legal definition of that either just to save you some time.

                  Enjoy your warmongering and enjoyment of human suffering

                  As bad of a person as you are i still hope you never encounter anything as bad as the israeli you blindly support have done to the palestinians

      Forgive us sir, I didn’t realize that civilians getting burned with white phosphorus, highly NSFL/NSFW was such a boring event for you.

      But in reality you are probably just numb as all of us to what is happening because:

      • There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.

      • There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.

      But today’s word of the day is war crime, tomorrow’s word of the day doesn’t have to be.
