UN says 800,000 people have fled Rafah as Israel kills dozens in Gaza
Israel says it recovered remains of one captive while Hamas claims several attacks against Israeli troops across Gaza.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Yes, the moment hamas started this war, they condemned the people of Gaza to a hellish decade or two.
So you're saying that even if an IDF soldier shoots a child in the face, it's Hamas' fault? Really?
Yes, because hamas is the reason for this soldier being there.
That's an interesting way to excuse virtually any war crime imaginable if Israel chooses to commit it. "It's Hamas' fault that Israel covered Gaza in anthrax spores, they're the reason Israel did it."
War crimes are crimes. If any happened, Israel will be held accountable.
But still, hamas are the ones who brought this on Gaza.
No if about it.
The right of civilians not to be arbitrarily deprived of life and the prohibitions against killing or maiming civilians are principles firmly enshrined in international humanitarian law, international human rights law and international jurisprudence. The prohibition of violence to civilians, including children, in particular murder, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture is a principle of customary international law, with universal applicability in all situations of armed conflict.

"They made us do it" is not a way around those laws.
All you're saying is that, to you, it's fine for the IDF to kill every single child in Gaza as long as someone has to pay the price for it in court later.

Under international humanitarian law and the Rome Statute, the death of civilians during an armed conflict, no matter how grave and regrettable, does not in itself constitute a war crime. International humanitarian law and the Rome Statute permit belligerents to carry out proportionate attacks against military objectives,[17] even when it is known that some civilian deaths or injuries will occur.
There is a very very big IF about it.
Hamas and their supporters attempted to genocide Israelis(and will do it again and again until they succeede). So yes, they made Israel go hunt the threat.
All you're saying is that, to you, it's fine for the IDF to kill every single child in Gaza as long as someone has to pay the price for it in court later.
To me, the IDF can do whatever it finds to be necessary to ensure the safety of the people of Israel. If hamas put children in their way, the IDF is not at fault.
If there is no limit to the number of children you kill to ensure your nation is protected, maybe it isn't worth protecting.
You are entitled to your opinion.
I feel the Palestinians who call for the eradication of Israel aren't worth protecting. I believe only force will crush this ridiculous idea.
But again, this is an opinion.
I see, so now you are saying that the children being killed are calling for the eradication of Israel.
Does this include the babies?
Now we are at the lowest point intellectually in these exchange.
Babies cannot talk.
But at the same time, they aren't the orb of Osuvox.
Premeture death terrible no matter who where or what.
Hamas targeted Israeli babies and then went hiding under their own. How can you fight someone who hates you more than they love their children?
Its insanity to support such people!
