  • And here you are very wrong. Because Israel killed more than 60K people so far, and according to their calculations they killed 20K Hamas fighters, pretty much all the male victims above 16 years old from those 60K casualties. So according to their logic all the male victims are Hamas fighters, which is simply not true.

    And international law agrees with this. The reason why captured Hamas are treated as criminals and not prisoners of war is because that’s what international law considers them to be. https://www.icrc.org/en/document/FAQ-rules-of-war-ihl seems to disagree with you. And even if we give you the benefit of doubt. Who is saying who’s a terrorist and who’s a civilian without any proper due process. Without any court hearing, what happens with the everyone’s innocent unless proven guilty.

    That’s not how wars work. It is expected for a military to keep their own civilians safe by building their bases apart from civilians

    You mean exactly like IDF, whose headquarters is in the center of Tel Aviv, surrounded by Hospital, train station and a Shopping Mall. And mind you, that’s not the only exception.

    And speaking of terrorists, I am really wondering what you think of Irgun and Lehi, who were prescribed as terrorist organizations and then embedded in the IDF.

    I don’t have a problem condemning Hamas, the same way I would condemn any other terrorist organization. But can you do the same? And what is the justification of embedding radicalized elements in your regular army. This would be the same as post war Germany to use the same Nazis that were responsible for so many atrocities in their regular army.

    It is not illegal in war to hit a target because your enemy insists on using civilians to protect themselves.

    Recently Israel hit the same hospital 4 times killing scores of journalists and their whole justification was because Hamas had a camera there. They hit the same spot two times. Which by the way is a war crime.

    And why is Israel not allowing international investigations nor international press inside Gaza? What is your take on this.

    In Iran they proved capable of hitting a single apartment in a densely populated apartment building, but in Gaza they seem to have destroyed most of the civilian infrastructure and farmland, desalination plants, repeatedly blocked humanitarian aid, electricity, fuel deliveries, and food. Isn’t this a collective punishment?







  • And here you are wrong. There is a difference between Hamas armed wing and government workers. For Israel they are the same. According to international law they are not.

    For Israel every male in Gaza is a Hamas fighter which is so inherently wrong. They simply kill those males with utter impunity.

    And if we have a bit more critical thinking, even if he was a legitimate fighter, why didn’t they kill him when he was alone. Why did they kill him when he was with his colleagues. Because they never said anything about the other victims. It is almost like there is a clear trend of killing local journalists and not allowing international ones, so that they can control the narrative.
