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...

You forgot the "LOL"
Flooding of tunnels is not a war crime as long as the water used is not toxic and the people in the tunnels have the option to surrender.
Flooding the tunnels with a poison gas or other toxic substance would be a war crime. Water certainly is not.
If I’m not mistaken, the Japaneses used caves in the Pacific islands to hide in. The cave entrances were blown up thus sealing off escape and leaving the Japanese soldiers to die due to lack of air or starvation. This was never considered a war crime.
Those were used by soldiers on an island they invaded, and the Japanese refused to surrender. The tunnels in Gaza have civilians seeking refuge in them.
For a WW2 reference, flooding tunnels in Gaza would be comparable to flooding the London Underground during the Blitz, killing civilians fleeing the bombing of the city above them.
“...And what the islamic savages did to Israeli women, and babies wasn’t a war crime?...”
Nope. At least not according to all the “woke” Campus Activists, and a good chunk of so-called “Mainstream Media”.
It’s either dismissed as “Zionist Lies and Propaganda”, or justified as a Heroic David & Goliath battle, where the “Palestinian Freedom-Fighters” are “Punching-Up” at the “Genocidal Apartheid Zionist Occupiers” with whatever means they have at their disposal.
One of the clearest examples of the pot calling the kettle black, i.e. rank hypocrisy, that I have seen in a while.
“The Israelis are being inhumane (sotto voce: YES, Nikita, level that city to teach the bastard Ukrainians a lesson!) to the Palestinians, and we demand that they stop now.”
“For a WW2 reference, flooding tunnels in Gaza would be comparable to flooding the London Underground during the Blitz, killing civilians fleeing the bombing of the city above them.”
Not really. The tubes during WWII were used by civilians to escape the Blitz: They were not stocked with weapons that were used to fight Germany; they were not filled with British Tommies gearing up to invade Germany, etc.
What is your source for that? That is a new spin.
How do you know civilians are in the tunnels and are not given a chance to leave?

He was a Ukrainian that served in a German Nazi SS unit against Russia.. Russia says Ukraine is still full of Nazis. We did see many such signs and symbolism at the beginning of the war that indicated that such was true....
He is afraid it will work.
