    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?

      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.

      acknowledging that this began with the slaughter of civilians

      Don’t forget the demolition of houses, and the stealing of land too.

        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!
