are full of irrational people. And telling fleeing civilians that they can evacuate safely to certain locations and then bombing those locations doesn’t amount to war crime(s). WTF??? (See my last paragraph in my prior response to you). These civilians were targeted.

Was My Lai a war crime? It targeted innocent civilians too just like the actions mentioned in the above paragraph did.

I’m afraid I’m just going to have to disagree with you there, and on top of that consider that all those who consider the above actions to be war crimes to be fully rational people.

Btw, I never accused Israel of genocide.
