NYT's Kristof's off the rail, including that ridiculous 'tail tale'

Nope.
It was a World War. The fate of mankind was literally at stake.
They sucker punched us. They deserved everything they got.
If we hadn't dropped the two nukes, we and they might have lost a million more people, according to estimates at the time.
It's amazing how two nuclear bombs going off can really get your attention, isn't it?
They then surrendered.

As I thought. War crimes are fine during war, but only if committed by the US and Israel.

As I thought: you're incredibly ignorant. You don't understand history whatsoever.

War crimes are not fine during war and that's why there were the Nuremberg Trials.

Those were crimes against humanity.

Fire-bombing Dresden? While excessive, is not a war crime. Neither is dropping a nuke. War crimes are things like using human shields in order to maximize casualties to use as propaganda. There's a reason that is forbidden. It isn't Israel's responsibility to provide safety for Palestinians during a war Palestinians started. That is Hamas' job or the PA's job.

Yet the US and Israel commit war crimes all the time, and you don’t complain.

Whatever Bibi may or may not have done has nothing to do with the choice Palestinians made on 10/7.

All Palestinians invaded Israel on 10/7? That's news to me

That must be why Israel sentenced all Palestinians to death.

By funding Hamas, doesn't that make Bibi the world's leading sponsor of terrorism?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

None of that happened.

Every claim is anonymous, none have filed formal complaints, and these allegations are only being levied because of the damning report showing the extent of Hamas and the Palestinians widespread use of rape on 10/7 and afterward with the hostages.

One would argue that "excessive" would fit the definition of the laws requiring proportionality, the ratio of anticipated military benefit to incidental harm.

There is also an argument to be made concerning discrimination.

It isn't Israel's responsibility to provide safety for Palestinians during a war Palestinians started. That is Hamas' job or the PA's job.

It is a joint responsibility.

We’ve had a lot of these Zionist bots join in the past year or so.
