Are you sure? Fox News hasn’t told me how to feel yet.
Are you like an idiot or something? How do you not get that I feel the same way as you do.

This is true of every war I can think of. Even Russia is trying to act like the good guy in the war they started. TBF, every side thinks they are the good guy. Which logically just can’t be true.

Thankfully they found a friendly person to show them a way through the mountains. Unfortunate that all those Spartans were never heard from again though. Such a tragedy.

Russia bombed plenty of hospitals as well, and that was widely condemned. The only countries that are allowed to bomb hospitals are the US and Israel.

Honestly I think people skip over the human aspect
Bombing a hospital in retaliation does nothing but kill innocent people. The people in that hospital have no control over Israel. Responding to murder with more murder doesn’t help anyone.

I’m just trying to clarify when it is and is not a war crime. Bcz some people seem to think it’s not a war crime at all. It confuses me, and I just have to sit here wait for someone to tell me when its good and when its bad, so I know how to feel about innocent injured people in a hospital getting bombed to all hell. Honestly, its baffling how anyone keeps all this stuff in their head all at once.

I want to be on the side of not killing civilians…
It is sad to see politics come before protecting life

It’s always a war crime. People will argue that’s exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.
