U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken is warning Israel that it risks destroying an eventual possibility for peace unless it acts swiftly to improve humanitarian conditions in Gaza for Palestinian civilians as it intensifies its war against Hamas.

      I think people have a really warped view of war on the internet. That’s exactly what any army on earth would do including and especially Hamas. Only the United States and Israel are known to not. Coalition partners literally think we are odd for taking civilian considerations into account as much as we do. You can find tens thousands of examples of this from the current war in Ukraine, ISIS fight, and any other going back to WWII.

      I don’t know what to tell you. You are just simply wrong about this. War is just bad overall. That doesn’t make it a war crime. That has a pretty high burden of proof. You can run this through any military lawyer of any military. I know more than my fair share and work closely with them.

        @galloog1 No, I’ve actually been to war, twice. So I’m good. Israel isn’t taking civilians into consideration, they’re racking up the body count by intentionally using the wrong weapons in a civilian populace.
        Oh and that’s in ADDITION to cutting off water, fuel, and medical supplies to the CIVILIANS
        SO you’re trying to bullshit people who now know that’s what you’re trying to do.
        Israel is LITERALLY making more “terrorists” than they’re killing with their disproportionate use of force
