You can use this line of thinking to justify any war crime that doesn't involve killing the adversary. "Well, we could've just killed them, better we dragged them to a black site to be tortured instead."
A scenario where Palestinians are permanently blinded for approaching the prison fences in Gaza or elsewhere is honestly horrifying.
- marshmallow_12 6y agoi take your point, but they're not prison fences. Lets be clear about that.

- skinkestek 6y agoRemember: the border used to be more open and I guess it will be in the future as soon as attacks decrease.

I don't think they've stood the test of time though, if things like drone strikes and AI weaponry are allowed. I would rather combatants be blinded than gunned down by a terminator. Istm like prohibition of violence against non combatants is orthogonal to the means.
