  I think we’re just trading war crimes at this point

    War crimes don’t cancel each other out or something. You don’t add up the war crimes each side has committed and then if they’re equal everyone calls it fair game.

  What’s the bigger war crime, bombing civilians or taking civilians hostage to use them as human shields?

    You don’t get to measure one against the other and then, if the other side turns out to have done “more war crimes” then you’re exonerated. That’s not how that works.

      International law seems to disagree with this. If you use a civilian building to perform military actions, you make it a military building. Not saying that the situation is not messed up, I also think Isreals response is is disproportionate. But how crazy does one have to be to use their own women and children as meat shields?

  You act like calling it a war crime means anything
