Russia said that reports of proposals to flood the tunnels were shocking and warned that "if done, this will be a war crime."
"Such flooding could be considered analogous to 'do not spare them' order, but it is not only about that and not only about civilians who may be in those tunnels," the statement read. "Of course, there most likely will be civilians, for where else would they go from the indiscriminate bombing of Gaza."
Over the last two months, Russia has repeatedly condemned Israel's actions in Gaza, with Vladimir Putin initially blaming the Hamas attacks in Israel as a "clear example of the failed policy in the Middle East of the United States."
Analysts consider Moscow to be exploiting the turmoil, since it has taken scrutiny off Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine...
While Russia has criticized the UN's vote [to reject a ceasfire], as a permanent member, Moscow has also vetoed resolutions condemning aspects of its invasion of Ukraine, one being its declaration that it had annexed four Ukrainian territories...

But we still have people here justifying Russian support of Hamas. Don’t you know we made them do it? We make those murderous bastards do everything evil don’t you know?
What the hell are you about you quisling?
If you’re even in the West.
The topic was your filthy Russia and Hamas.
Funny that Russian murderers always change the subject.
No, Russia is attempting to deflect the world charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity by trying to claim Israel is just as guilty
The Russia lovers here are more guilty of associating them selves with real war criminals than any Israeli action against Hamas
The tunnels hide Hamas soldiers and weapons
War crimes is the topic of the article, and Canada is fresh in my mind. Why haven’t you addressed it?
why so angry?
Fight like an Egyptian
They flooded the tunnels used in Gazacfor smuggling with sewage
There are tunnels and there are other tunnels.
The hostages are beyond help now that the death of Hamas is imminent and even more compelling
The Hamas leadership remaining alive is never going to release any more hostages.alive
If anyone follows the “be one to know one” Russia fills that bill.
Curious if there is a war crime Russia has not committed
In a different topic, heard an interesting take on why Russia at the very least should not be on the security council with veto powers.
Soviets were on the council, Soviet Union does not exist. There is no automatic means for Russia to have assumed that seat, and there is precedent for others countries that have broken up like Yugoslavia and the new countries created…..
But like any law or rule not enforced does it really exist?
I’m tired of hearing all the self defense tactics of Israel are ‘war crimes’ while actual terrorist war crimes are constant and constantly documented
BTW-if you’re defending your self against stateless murderers ... all bets are off, right??
Besides his own, I agree
Why would you kill anyone?
Most People would have plenty of time to get out.
I see the Putin Fanbois have appeared, and commenced the traditional Putin Fanboi non-responsive response playlist:
Yup those two are equal, stupidly praising this guy, and bombing cities just for the hell of it.
Is being stupid a war crime?
Apparently so /s
The people in Gaza built some sewers and Israel was nice enough to supply them with some water to flush the shirt out.
“The Soviet way - when you are committing war crimes accuse your opponents and their allies of doing the same and take the focus off yourself. Just yesterday or the day before I read a story of Russians gunning down a group of surrendering Ukrainians.”
yes, exactly this.
putin lies all the time. no person of honor should believe a word he says
It’s not a war crime.
They can flood them with Zyklon B for all I care.
******
That would be a war crime.
It’s called whataboutism and it is a classic Russian propaganda tactic.
How is it you personally managed to check off every item on your list?
