> How many were there after trial?
A littler over 20% [0].
And, is it really a trial when the conviction rate is over 99%?
> Your own source indicates that there are UN investigators who found evidence of rape being carried out by Hamas terrorists.
No forensic evidence, no survivor testimony.
The "credible evidence", when you read it, is that some people had their pants pulled down, and blood, which are both things that can happen when your own forces are firing tank shells at you [1].
And, pretending to ignore the fact that the most lurid claims of rape on that day were totally debunked doesn't make you look like you're debating in good faith, or willing to change your position when presented with new evidence.
> Israeli war crimes should be punished.
When? After the last 10% of Gaza is reduced to rubble? After they've built the "riviera" Trump keeps talking about? When a few more hundred thousand Gazans have died? When? How?
> Hamas is the aggressor that decided to launch a military operation from one of the most densely populated territories on Earth.

> Of course he has. He doesn't have to take the deals Hamas (and by extension, Iran) wants.
Deals negotiated in good faith, some of which he agreed to like the ceasefire he just broke by murdering hundreds of people, and stopping food and aid.
> He's a bastard and is leaning too far
Ya think? You sure seem to be carrying a lot of water for him.
> everyone who's anyone of consequence in the Middle East, save Iran, hates Hamas
Ah yes, because only the wealthy and political class are "of consequence", and the opinion of the actual population [2, 3] means nothing.
> The only way to immediately prevent further civilian deaths in Gaza at this point is for Hamas to surrender
Not going to happen lol.
And collective punishment is still a war crime and an atrocity. You really, really need to understand that point, because right now you're spending a lot of time defending the indefensible. Genocide is never justified, ever, ever; and that's not just opinion but international law.
> You can't do what Hamas did on October 7th and run back behind the skirt of international law to stop your opponents
International law is international law. If someone breaks it once, it doesn't give you the right to break it ten times, or a hundred times in response. Do you understand that? It really seems like you don't.
