    So Hamas gets a free pass for war crimes?

    The post is referencing a war crime committed by Hamas. Yet people here are using it as if it’s a big gotcha against Israel. Really warped view on things when you witness a war crime being committed and you’re so blinded by hatred you just lazily criticize some phrasing around it because you don’t even see the war crime any more.

    The dehumanization that’s being done here is disgusting. This is why the Palestinian movement isn’t invited to speak in civil society anymore. Y’all are too warped by hatred.

      What exactly is the war crime here?

      If a person is operating a tank then they’re a legitimate military target. It isn’t a war crime to capture or kill a military target. Do you claim that Israel is committing war crimes and kidnapping when they capture enemy combatants? Of course not.

      You may have a preferred side, but calling ‘war crime’ on something doesn’t make it true. If you step into a tank and strap a rifle on your body then you are operating under an entirely different set of rules and are subject to be killed or captured by the opposing forces.
