all you folk who are utterly positive Israel is committing war crimes might just wanna read this
THREAD: Was bombing in Jabalia in line with international law (IHL)? Or a war crime? Does the loss of civilians, even if high automatically mean war crimes? Let’s look at what IHL actually says not the media, UN or NGOs. This same analysis applies to future strikes as well
"This concept of "expected" harm means mistakes (like errant bombs) or not knowing in advance how many civilians were present does not mean war crime. When UK killed 86 children in error during WWII attack on Gestapo HQ it is not considered a war crime."
"Proportionality is subjective. There are no civilian/combatant ratios as guidelines. Every situation is totally different & must take in all factors. Hamas leader promises "million" October 7 massacres so military need to kill Hamas terrorists is high"
The IDF focus on Hamas military, economic and political leadership are ALL targets from a military perspective and legal under the laws of war.
Same applies to Hezbollah.
This is where Hamas mouthpieces get owned.
Thanks, a good read.
