This Will Be Unpopular.... * .... and I don't care.

Postulate: There are no rules of war.

Corollary: There are no "war crimes."

snip

In the context of the current mess over in Israel and Gaza I do not care if Israel flattens Gaza to a literal smoking ruin. War sucks and like it or not that's what this is and Hamas made the decision to initiate hostilities, so the IDF may as well get on with it. They gave fair warning to "uninvolved" civilians to get the Hell out of there. They made that decision and I respect it. It is a fact that derogating or outright ignoring everyone's right to self-defense and the defense of their loved ones is why the Hamas attacks were successful and why Hamas was operating in Gaza to begin with. There were and have been two groups there over the last decades; those civilians who support Hamas and those who were defenseless as a direct result of government policy prohibiting "at will" arms ownership. The former are complicit and the latter were prohibited from slaying the terrorists in advance of their operation and it was the Israeli government that did the prohibiting because they consider "Gazans" to be less-than-citizens. Evidence? They call those who live there "Gazans", not Israelis! Does Israel call those people living in Jerusalem Jerusalans?

Correct, for terrorists there are no such things as war crimes.

"I do not care if Israel flattens Gaza to a literal smoking ruin."

That is how it was in WW2 because it was Total War. Israel is in a tighter spot than the Allies of WW2.

When they dance in the streets like they did on 09-11-2001, and on Sunday 10-08-2023 over dead Christians and dead Jews, there are no innocents in Gaza

Actually, Gaza is a distinct political jurisdiction with Hamas as their elected government.

So I have no prob referring to “Gazan”, though I would rather call them “Gazanian Devils” or “Gazaniacs”.

Were Dresden or the Tokyo firebombings war crimes?

The problem with dealing with the civilians in Gaza is that you don’t know if the people they let go will come back as terrorists. They all need to be relocated. And prohibited from ever returning.

A war criminal is a war criminal. This fool is reacting to the media images exactly as they planned he would. Next we will have the fools on the other side reacting the same way when the horrors of Israeli retaliation are presented. The end result is a much wider war with war hysteria clouding the public’s mind. I will give this doofus a pass and assume it’s his media addled hysteria talking and he is part of the human race and really does care if a million innocent children are massacred.
