What bullshit is this? MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2025 #59

In your post denying anyone was defending Israel's bombing of children, you did exactly that. Ms. Toad Feb 2025 #69

Bullshit. MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2025 #75

Thank-you, that is exactly right. Hamas owns this tragedy. If they didn't do October 7, this would have never happened JohnSJ Feb 2025 #80

And those children would be alive today if Israel has not bombed civilian targets in Gaza. Ms. Toad Feb 2025 #83

I'm curious, MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2025 #84

When you violate a cease fire by crossing the international border, massacring 1000 civilians on the other side, Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #22

Well then maybe HAMAs shouldn't have broken a working cease fire MarineCombatEngineer Feb 2025 #61

Israel was caught conducting covert operations in Gaza during moniss Feb 2025 #28

Did any of those alleged covert operations involve taking hostages? Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #37

An argument can be made that covert operations restarted the war. intheflow Feb 2025 #45

That argument cannot be made: the fact is the covert operations didn't restart the war. Hamas attack on Israel did. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #47

Is spying illegal? intheflow Feb 2025 #50

Yes it is. So is jaywalking. Neither constitutes violaion unless it disregards the specific terms of the agreement. Beastly Boy Feb 2025 #90

Where do you get the idea spying is a war crime? sarisataka Feb 2025 #49

First, the Hague decision only applies to wartime spying. intheflow Feb 2025 #52

It can be illegal but it is not a "war crime" sarisataka Feb 2025 #53

Fair enough. intheflow Feb 2025 #54
