    Can you lot stop throwing out the word war crime to try and make things sound worse and get an emotional response.

    Killing civilians is not actually a war crime by itself.

    Israel does not recognise Palestine as a country or Hamas as a government, so they cannot be legally at war therefore it can’t be a war crime.

    Also as far as I’m aware Palestine is not a signatory to any convention on war crimes anyway.

        Can you name a single participant in a single (active) war that did not kill civilians? Saying all war is a war crime, kind of makes war crimes pointless.

        And then even if we accept im wrong on that point (which honestly, im willing to do) my other points still stand.
