When Is Intentionally Targeting Civilians Not a War Crime?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

During wwII both England and Germany indiscriminately bombed civilians on both sides. We didn't have smart bombs to target military installations. We had to carpet bomb an area and hope we hit something.

Bullshit. The RAF deliberately targeted dormitory suburbs to get the workers and the US nuked non military cities.

You just posted more examples saying the same thing I did all bite crudely.

Try that post again in English, please!

If I were Israel I would just level Gaza, and be done with it.

Gaza has a population of around 2 million.

 

[struth]

Israel isn't a member of the UN Security Council and doesn't have a veto

That's quite funny really.

what’s funny about it?

That being said it's much different firing rockets when you don't have a hope in hell of winning the war. Then your just doing it to kill people not as a means to destroy an enemy or to win a war. Israel would be justified to cut off gaza completely. Allow anyone who wants to leave, leave without arms but not allow anyone to renenter the area. No food, no water, no power, no nothing.

I noticed a problem with the US's way of doing things that are alot alike how Israels way of doing things. They are both unwilling to do what it takes to win. Even when it's within their ability to do so.

What would you do with 2 million refugees that no one wants?

BTW, spellcheck is your friend.

The Big One dropped on Nagasaki and Heroshima was intended to kill as many civilians as it took to make the Bushido Japanese holdouts surrender unconditionally.

Dropping both of those bombs saved civilian lives.

When the target is Jews.


Feel good part of the story: Some rockets hit the Muslim controlled Temple Mount.

Omar and Synthaholic are celebrating. As are AOC and Tlaib.

Not really. If the US had gone with Operation Downfall and invaded mainland Japan. Millions of Japanese could have died.

Condemnation is always appropriate when targeting of civilians is intentional.

So where’s the Lefts precious UN while the Palestinianians intentionally target civilians?
Oh yeah. Condemning Israel for defending themselves.

That was not the only other option. It is still mere speculation.

I knew Marines and Air Corp who were preparing for the invasion, it was real.

erusalem was given to the Israelites by God. There is no such state as palestine.

God doesn't exist; Palestine does.

Everything you need to know about human rights in Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories

"Israel demolished 848 Palestinian residential and livelihood structures in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, displacing 996 people, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

"Israeli authorities said many of the demolished buildings lacked Israeli-issued permits, which are virtually impossible for Palestinians to obtain, or were in closed military zones.

"The law of occupation prohibits such destruction unless necessary for military operations."

Israel was basically uninhabited until the Jews moved in, then Arabs started showing up for jobs.

I agree with you. That even millions of Americans think that Israel is not legitimate is beyond me.

Don't be stupid. There were plenty of Arabs there. And Jews had re-immigrated and live there since the Medieval Ages.

No one said preparation wasn't real. Read my posts more carefully.

That you appear ignorant of which nation has vetoed UNSC resolutions on Israel's behalf. Funny that.

Of course it's speculation, but based on the data at hand.

Even worse, if the Invasion would have faltered we probably would have had to ask the Soviets for help, and they would have a price.

Picture a "North Japan" and "South Japan"

Imagine if Iwo Jima had never happened. How many more members might be here talking about their grandfathers?

The war crime is imposing gun control and disarming people who would otherwise be willing and able to defend themselves.
