Somewhat true, but what Israel recently did was not technically a war crime. Mercenaries, militias, and fighters out of uniform do not recieve any geneva conventions protections. Meaning if the 3 men are who they say they are then there is no warcrime being committed.
The perpetrator invited the confidence or belief of one or more persons that they were entitled to, or were obliged to accord, protection under rules of international law applicable in armed conflict
By pretending to be civilians (not to mention killing an unarmed person in FUCKING HOSPITAL) that are committing a war crime. The victim’s uniform is irrelevant
The IDF raided the hospital disguised as medics and civilians. Even using a baby carrier in their disguise. This alone is sufficient war crime tier.
One of the killed men was in the hospitals for three months following a drone strike. He did not just set up camp there. Israel does not medically treat anyone they strike with drones, they only block ambulances. So that man naturally ends up in a Palestinian hospital.
The IDF terrorists raided at 05:30AM when everyone was asleep. They didn’t try to arrest them but executed them while they were sleeping with bullets straight through their heads.
Killing people in hospitals isn’t allowed no matter their credentials. If Putin entered a Ukranian hospital to kill soldiers that would be a war crime as well.
You can’t justify everything afterwards by saying “we’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys so it’s fine”.
…What? If Israeli forces conduct operations out of uniform their war crimes don’t count? I’m sorry, but there’s no way that’s true. This sounds like something from a clickbait article. “The ICJ hates this ONE WEIRD TRICK that let’s you commit atrocities!”
"Diamond shot video of a three-hour tour of the area, including a descent into a tunnel, but said the IDF wouldn’t allow him to verify whether the tunnel entrance led directly beneath the cemetery.
In an article at CNN.com about his investigation, Diamond wrote that “Israeli commanders failed to prove their claim during a three-hour visit to the Bani Suheila cemetery and the surrounding area.”
They shot people on their hospital beds, one was paralyzed. Literally hospitals are of protected status even if militants are there if they are there for treatment. Enough excuses.
Fuck Israel from the bottom of my heart today and everyday until the end of time.
Is this an excuse to commit war crimes or break IHL? Does Israel think it’s above the law? Does Israel think it can be as bad as Hamas and get away with it?
"The hospital’s director, Dr. Naji Nazzal, said the Israeli team entered the hospital at around 5:30 a.m. and made its way stealthily to the third floor, ringing the bell to enter the ward where the men were sleeping.
“They executed the three men as they slept in the room,” he told Reuters. “They executed them in cold blood by firing bullets directly into their heads in the room where they were being treated.”
Hours later, a bloodied blue hospital pillow pierced by a bullet remained on a bed, while a folding bed nearby was also stained with blood, apparently from a shot to the head."
No, they are getting downvoted because shooting unarmed people (including militants) in a medical facility while asleep while getting treatment as some kind of execution for crimes they didn’t try them for is a breach of international humanitarian law.
And fucking hell, like Hamas sucks, but the freedom fighters in the West Bank are often the only thing standing in the way of IDF and Israeli police bulldozers and helicopters coming to demolish homes and take life.
This is what we all wanted in Gaza, so of course they destroy Gaza and then show that they could have done it all along and they just killed 25000 people for nothing

That’s heavy.
Do we know the credentials of the three that were killed?
Edit: Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
There are no good guys in this story.

You can’t justify everything afterwards by saying “we’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys so it’s fine”.
No, they’re both the bad guys. I was very clear.
Fuck the IDF
Fuck Hamas
Fuck Islamic Jihad
No, you weren’t, at least not from where I’m looking.
“there are no good guys in this story”
this isn’t about a single incident

That’s ok they made up for that by desecrating a Muslim graveyard.
Funnily enough, turns out there was a tunnel under it. Hamas loves hiding behind civilians, (which is a warcrime) and now it doesnt work.
Funny enough the CNN report shows otherwise and raises more questions than answers.

You have proof of that?
For all that they like to say that, I haven’t seen any unedited video that could prove it
That’s not how fucking war crimes work, George W. Bush.

Almost as bad as slaughtering civilian’s at a music festival.

Not just paralysed.
The IDF put guns to their heads and executed them while they were sleeping.

My favorite part is where you get downvotes for objective truths. Classic Lemmy.
