37. Why are you ignoring the clear letter of the law?

This was unsanctioned, hence wanton and unwarranted destruction of property.

We can't just ignore both the intent and the letter of the law because it doesn't suit us.

For those that are interested here are the laws that make what Israel is doing a war crime
