    It’s not a war because Israel doesn’t acknowledge it as a war. If it were a war, they would be treating Hamas as an actual military and be following the Geneva convention. Israel does not treat the thousands of Gazan hostages it’s abducted, who it nominally labels as “Hamas,” anything like what is required by the Geneva convention.

    It’s not a war because Israel has chosen not to treat it like a war.

      There is no thing forcing you to adhere to international law. You don’t have to follow Geneva Convention. You might be executed for it if caught outside of your country or if another country seems to stop you, but there is no compulsion there.

        So your defense of Israel is that “well aktually the laws of war don’t technically apply to them!”

        Fuck off with this genocide apologia. If you need to split hairs on the technical definition of the laws of war, you’re obviously doing something indefensible. Only Nazi trash feels the need to equivocate on something as unforgivable as genocide and war crimes.

        Seriously, you need a therapist or a priest. Your soul is clearly broken.
