No. But at the same time, If Hamas hides military equipment in a news building where other civilians work, then Hamas is committing a war crime.
And Israel has the right to attack this building while taking every action to minimize civilians bystanders casualties. As they did by giving 1hr notice.
- whimsicalism 5y agoIsrael routinely mixes civilian and military operations, particularly in Mossad, and uses civilians as cover for their work. Israel engages in illegal extrajudicial assassinations of civilians, and their occupation of Palestine is a war crime under the geneva convention. No evidence has been presented that Hamas was actually hiding military equipment in this news building. https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/06/israel-says-hamas-used-ap-al-jazeera-building-gaza-jam-iron-dome https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2021/06/israel-says-ham...
- helge9210 5y ago> and their occupation of Palestine is a war crime under the geneva convention This is not true. Military occupation by itself is allowed, but puts certain restrictions on the occupying power. For example, it's forbidden to transfer own population into the occupied territory, which Israel does.
- whimsicalism 5y agoI wasn't saying that occupation in general is a war crime, I am saying that the Israeli occupation as it manifests itself right now (ie. with settlements) is.
- helge9210 5y ago> And Israel has the right This kind of hides the fact, that a responsibility for war crimes is personal. Not everyone will be as lucky as Ariel Sharon who died before he was tried.
