This is not a popular opinion around worldnews where even in this thread there’s apologists trying to justify the initial terrorist attack by Gaza’s elected Hamas group.
Many would argue those atrocities of the past were justified.
Do evil things to prevent greater evil. If you disagree with that, that’s totally ok too. But what would you have had the Allies do in WWII? Just like, lose?
One of the worst war crimes of all this has been Hamas operating from civilian areas and buildings. Co-locations strip locations of their protected status and make them legitimate targets by international law.
One of the worst crimes that can be committed is co-location. The CIA has done it too with medical groups around the world… and those agents and anyone in that chain of command should also be charged with war crimes.
Doesn’t seem vastly different from the firebombing of German cities by the Allies.
War is horrible. But it isn’t always genocide.
Atrocities of the past don’t excuse modern day atrocities. Your whataboutism is meaningless.

War is horrible enough without war crimes. We don’t need to juice it

So then the bombing of Dresden was genocide?
Certainly a war crime. Yes.
