In reply to the discussion: Israeli Army Occupies Gaza Homes - Then Burns Them Down [View all]The Magistrate
(96,043 posts)35. Perrmission From Whom, At What Level Of Command Or Court?
There's not enough to cry up WAR CRIME!!! comparing what information is supplied to the statute you cited. I do not state that it is not, merely that you do not, and in your position as news consumer and social media commentator cannot possibly, know that it is. WAR CRIME!!! is simply a worship word, a word of power, you imagine will cow disagreement with your view Israel is irredeemably wrong in its military operations against Hamas. It doesn't.
