Check out the r/worldnews thread. Example:
They want praise for only committing like three separate warcrimes instead of blowing up the already occupied hospital.
Hamas is a non-state group which creates a loophole where this rule does not apply. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Ah yes, the famous non-state loophole, where you can just shoot people in their hospital beds and it's not a war crime. Just because someone is not part of a regular state military does not mean they have literally zero rights. Also dressing up as a doctor or nurse is a war crime. The occupation itself is a illegal as well, they shouldn't even be there.

It's simple; either this was a military action, in which case it was perfidy, which is a warcrime. Or it was a police action, in which case it was summary execution without due process, aka a Death Squad, which is a crime against humanity.
Further more, if this isn't an occupation, then it is an unspeakably, unforgivably massive crime against humanity that the people living there have not had their citizenship recognized and their rights as such recognized; far worse than Apartheid. You can't legally just take land and say "yeah, the land is ours, but the people living on it aren't."
Wow.
Are you some sort of reincarnated warlord? Ghenghis Khan, is that you?
