25. No. it is not "if you feel like it" but international convention to which Israel has been signatory

since 1951. The Geneva Conventions--whether all combatants from all nations followed them or not was a life saver for many an American (and others) in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. Many of us might not be here if our grandfathers/great-grandfathers were left to die untreated by the enemy--even if some refused to provide that care.

Not to mention that disregard of these conventions as a signatory could constitute war crimes.

Not a "MASH episode" but an international convention that means something. Disregarding puts all the military of our own and our allies at tremendous risk.

Such a flippant attitude toward GC really upsets me and I can assure you every other medical professional (and general military members) who has been subject to and adhered to them.
