I want Israel to show that they can solve problems without creating more of them, I guess that's not their forte... So more problems for them...
Wait... they might be onto their very own twist of a final solution. Cool...

Forced expulsion is a war crime. Israel ordered millions of Palestinians to move.
Nobody ripped anybody out their house and made them leave.
They humanely warned them that it would be in the best interests of their children if they removed themselves from the warzone.
NOT a war crime.
Israel has cut off water supply and electricity.
It is NOT a war crime to deny the enemy any kind of resource, not even oxygen.
There is no conclusion not even an investigation in relation to the attack at the Hospital.
France, the UK, the US and Canada have investigated and all found that it was a rocket from the terrorists that hit the hospital parking lot.
Those are the facts Chang.
Millions of people are doing exactly the same thing and they are protesting on the streets.
You keep putting this in every post thinking it helps your case.
It reminds me of a bumper sticker a friend of mine had which read..
“Eat sh*t, millions of flies can’t be wrong”
Do you now understand how your phrase is hurting, not helping, your case?

I’m starting to see through you and the other poster.
I think others here are as well.
Over and out
No they’re not all war crimes, you can bomb schools, hospitals and civilian dwellings if they’re are deemed a military necessity. I already told you that in one of your other 100 threads on the same topic. Do your homework before dishing out misinformation.

1) Complete siege of Gaza
2) Incitement to genocide
3) Collective punishment
4) Forced expulsion
5) Disproportional aerial bombardment of the civilian population
6) Attacks on civilian structures, hospitals, and humanitarian workers
All of the above are war crimes.
You won't be able to see them as war crimes and regardless of the laws when you engage in the promotion of state propaganda
The classification of a military act during conflict as a war crime depends on whether the act was justified. So the bombing of a school or residential building may not be considered a war crime if it was deemed militarily necessary. It is a war crime to use civilians as human shields which Hamas has and continues to do in spades. Here’s a novel idea…. Don’t put your military command post in hospital basements, build military tunnels around or underneath civilian dwellings or harbor militants in civilian dwellings, they will be taken out, legally.

Show any valid intelligence reports that prove unequivocally that is true, that Hamas was inside the hospital. If they could prove that and not look murderous, wouldn't they?
Otherwise it's still collective punishment, which is illegal, as established by the Geneva Convention after Ww2 to stop any other country from committing the acts the Germans did in war.
These conventions were written to prevent further genocide and loss of civilian lives,specifically those perpetrated against the Jewish people across Europe.
Make sure you do your homework too, bud.
Provide any level of citation for your quote, so anyone else can read it's origin and context.
Also, considering there is no active way to retaliate against Israeli airstrikes, there is no Hamas reaction to any of it.
Hamas is hiding in tunnels with their ransom.
Not standing in hospitals thinking they're safe.
Agitprop BS.

From the war in Afghanistan and the US-backed Saudi intervention in Yemen, to the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the Syrian civil war, hospitals have increasingly been targeted by military forces. The justification for many of these attacks has been uncannily similar: the hospitals were bombed because they were shielding combatants and therefore the attacks do not constitute a violation of international law. Hospitals, in other words, are now classified as if they are equivalent to human shields.
What ties all of these examples together is not merely the use of similar rhetoric, but more importantly the same underlying assumption: when health care facilities become “hospital shields” they lose the protected status they are granted by the Geneva Conventions. Thus, once framed as shields, these facilities can be bombarded without violating international law.
First, the logic of the human shields clauses can, it seems, quite easily be transferred to medical facilities. International law prohibits the use of civilians as human shields to protect military targets, but it also permits the attacking forces to kill human shields as long as they abide by the principle of proportionality. In this instance, then, international law ceases to protect civilians and actually becomes a weapon of the strong, protecting those who kill non-combatants. By extension, if hospitals are used as shields, they too can be bombed provided the principle of proportionality is not breached. Second, international law affirms that the protection to which hospitals are entitled is revoked when they are “used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy.” This extremely vague formulation lends itself to those who target hospitals. Unlike IHL clauses prohibiting torture, which are absolute, applying at all times and in all circumstances, the articles relating to the bombardment of hospitals are conditional. Therefore, in certain “exceptional” situations medical facilities do lose their protected status.

You cant expect that from hamas because they don't share the same values as the west... Israel does, but do they really?
