I haven't killed anyone in this conflict. I'm sorry you have affiliated yourself with Hamas but I have not done the same for Israel. I would also not conduct this war the same way but I also won't stoop to calling it war crimes. It's just war.
I'll ask again. Don't ignore it. What do you consider moral in war?
You already considered them this before the start of this conflict even in a limited war. They honestly don't care about what you think. They want to change the calculus through the dismantling of Hamas so this can never happen again.
They are at war. This is not a limited fight. They are conducting a total war to eliminate the Hamas power structure. Hamas showed them that any inch they give them will be payed in blood. The lesson they learned last conflict is that conducting a limited war literally makes no difference in the information environment. They will lose anyways there so they are conducting a legal war to achieve actual change.
I think you will find that absolutely none of these actually of war crimes will be stuck to anyone because the evidence is scarce at best, just like last time. The records match the decisions which match the intelligence. As long as no actual war crimes are committed, Israel could care less what you think of them this time.
Israel is not aiming to maintain the situation because that was what they were doing before. Their goal is to win the war and completely eradicate Hamas as a power structure. Everything is to further that end within international law.
Hamas is doing their best to embed themselves within restricted targets and Israel does not always have the ability to tell when a building or vehicle they are seen going into is a restricted target. That does not make it illegal. It is also a war crime by Hamas. It places the blame purely on the side with knowledge of the ground. I'm yet to see Hamas get blamed for this in this conflict yet it absolutely is on them.
They do not have this missile and we did the exact same thing as them when targeting militants that use those places for their operations. Any respectable military would because it is legal, ethical, and moral.
Funny you don't mention the fact that the area called refugee camp collapsed because of the tunnels under it.
I never said I worked for them. You make a lot of claims and provide little to no evidence that actually directly supports them. It also doesn't take a crystal ball to see that all your claims follow the exact narratives of Hamas. You are also the one posting the most about it on this platform indicating that spreading propaganda may be part of your professional work.
I'll just keep calling you out on it. It doesn't feel like wasting time to me.
Israel, who has much better intelligence, claims that Hamas is using ambulances for their logistics.
It comes down to who you believe. I know that one side has a better track record.
If Hamas is using ambulances for their logistics, as they have been known to do, striking it is not a war crime. They actively do this because it looks worse for Israel.
The use of ambulances for logistics is a war crime. What a boob.
Those buildings wouldn't collapse if there weren't Hamas tunnels under them. That's literally the issue right now and why entire sections are falling down.
When people are literally shooting at you persistently, what do you suggest they do? When nobody recognizes their war crimes and there is no where to go what do you suggest they do? When nobody recognizes that you are getting shot at despite plenty of proof and evidence, what do you do?
You say your piece and do your best to follow the laws of war despite the opposing side not doing the same.
You cannot honestly tell me that you trust Hamas more than Israel to follow the laws of war.
His narrative is that it was internationally recognized, which it was not. Words have meaning and he is a disinformer. It is worded intentionally to have you jump to conclusions that are inaccurate through different framing of the situation and decision to conduct the strike.
Your source does not distinguish between military casualties and civilian ones which is the center of the entire argument. It comes self reported from hospitals and then taken at face value that they were not militants.
Your source literally does not identify that as an identified or even unidentified aid convoy. You have posted disinformation on other topical posts and I'm starting to think that you are working on behalf of a state level actor.
Folks, before you elevate posts that conform to your biases, at least validate that they are true.
Don't reply if you're not going to provide a source other than your word. My bias is that I'm formally trained in identifying mis and disinformation within large scale combat operations. Sorry that you assume that bias is not taken into account in a professional setting. I'll just trust your "I know a guy" narrative.
What's more likely, Israel is a nation state troll with multiple western security apparatuses in support or there's at least a scheme of logic that people who actually look at the data can look at?
It's funny because everyone I know that is liberal and left who work in national security break with the rest of their demographic and you see it in the Democratic party establishment as well. I've never seen a more clear line between experts who work on the space and those that do not.
You want me to cite a source that says that you are allowed to conduct collateral damage and attack supply lines while at war? That burden of proof is still on you. Nothing in the Geneva Conventions forbids it.
They did not say they would not strike in the South and if you look at the spread of the strokes it is several orders of magnitude in the North. Nowhere in that article does it say where they were told to go in the south because they weren't told a specific location and they have been significantly removed from the bloodshed. Additionally, they gave been removed from any ability to actually validate independently that what was struck was in fact not civilians so you are again taking Hamas at their word.
I haven't killed anyone in this conflict. I'm sorry you have affiliated yourself with Hamas but I have not done the same for Israel. I would also not conduct this war the same way but I also won't stoop to calling it war crimes. It's just war.
