You are being offensive and ridiculous now. Finally you mention numbers - but misleadingly, to give the impression to the unseasoned reader that Palestinians have killed millions of people.

It wasn't the Palestinians I was referring to. Holocaust Deniers are fixated on pushing the numbers down, as if only killing half a million Jewish civilians in cold blood makes it less of a crime against humanity. As I said: it is not a question of numbers, it is a question of intent. If an army bombs an enemy munitions plant, it is a valid target. The intent is to destroy the enemy's capacity to produce weapons that can be used in battle. If civilians living nearby are injured and killed, it is extremely sad, even tragic, but since it was not the intent of the raid, it was due to the hazards of war, not the intent of those who planned the bombing. That is why it is not a "war crime." Can you understand the difference between numbers and intent?

Why dont you be honest and tell the truth
The jews and others that were killed or targeted were zionists and communists trying to covertly take over the nation
The average jewish family such as ours was held for deportation as the japanese were held in camps in america because it was the japanese that were the subversives collecting info to attack because america illegally cut off their mo ey and oil
Im so tired if the lies to justify the barbarity of israel
Tell the damned truth
Onto the topic of weaselthal and his lies please
Now you are really going off the deep end. NOBODY was talking about the Holocaust. Holocaust "Deniers" is what you are "fixated" about.
Change the topic when you lose the argument!
Change the numbers when they don't work in your favor!

Again: if a bus driver loses control of his vehicle and accidentally kills twelve people, does that make him a worse criminal than a man who deliberately tortures one person to death?
"Again"? How many times were we talking about "bus drivers?
Who was EVER talking about torture?
Deliberately targeting civilians is a war crime.
You side-stepped my question one more time, it was about numbers.
Please stop this nonsense. If you do not want to have a reasonable dialog I will have your posts removed.
Are you reading my posts? People here are smarter than you imply by always pretending that your question has not been answered (just as you did with CorruptionExposed) until one is sick of repeating it, only so that you can say 'see I was right' ?

You have been evading giving me a simple answer, so I am making the hypothetical cases more dramatic.
I don't know what the "Pol Pot regime" is, so why don't you go and make a thread about that?
Why can you not see that war crimes, indeed, all crimes against humanity, are not a question of number, but intent? If the Pol Pot regime had murdered a few dozen less of its citizens, would it have ceased to be criminal?
"moral compass"? As if you ever had one. When you talk about killing civilians is okay because it was, OVER and OVER again, not "intentional"? "intentional" by YOUR definition and, well, bad luck for the collateral.
You seem to be sincere in trying to develop your moral compass, but you lack the skills necessary to tell the well intentioned from the ill intentioned. One thing that malevolent people do is set up false equivalences. Killing civilians by accident is not at all the same thing as killing civilians intentionally.
Another "hypothetical? Or another proof you have lost sense of reality. Or just spewing hate, you don't even seem to try to have any meaning in your words.
Failure to kill as many civilians as one wants is not moral superiority.
What you are doing is akin to yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater, except in your case it is "Anti-Semitism! They want to deport you to Florida! Kill them first!"
Now who is advocating censorship?

Your hypothetical is unrelated to the issue that we are discussing. You are proving that you have lost any sense of reality.

I got news for you: if the military shoots into an area that it should reasonably suspect to include civilians, and past experience has shown repeatedly that it does include civilians, and the military shoots anyway, THAT IS "intentional", the rocket did NOT go off by "accident".

If it is not a war crime, then it is not a crime, then it is okay. Your choice of words like "Collateral damage", by refusing to acknowledge that THOUSANDS of innocent civilian Palestinians have been killed, by denying it is a war crime to fire into populated areas, by excusing it by claiming it was a "ligitimate target", by accusing Palestinians of using "human shields". Infact, how can you know that the"collateral damage" is not a convenient, desirable by-product of eliminating the target? You have expressed so much hate here that killing of Palestinians must be a positive rather than a negative. If Israeli military does it many times over they are either stupid or the outcome is desired.

Why are you questioning my moral compass? Where did I ever say that killing civilians was okay?
And Mr. Clawson said "I am not advocating this" but it is crystal clear what he is advocating.
I said that the accidental deaths of civilians was sad and tragic.

You are taking my quote out of context. I was quoting YOU and Mr. Clawson to demonstrate how hateful both of you are.
