Israel, he said, has a right to defend itself but not by “intentionally causing death, starvation, great suffering, and serious injury to body or health of the civilian population” which he said were criminal acts.
Which he said were criminal acts? Terrorising, torturing, starving, and bombing civilians are all war crimes. It’s pathetic how beholden mainstream media is to our economic and geopolitical interests.

Maybe I’m missing something, but when someone commits a war crime (or in this case multiple war crimes), are the things they have done not criminal acts? Did the BBC edit their article afterwards to assert they are war crimes?
They also write that Karim Khan calls Israel’s war a “war of extermination.”
