Isn't pretending you're civilian like a war crime or something?

[-] [email protected] 149 points 7 months ago

Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.

It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.

They've had it for awhile, they're going for platinum at this point.

Yes, it's known as perfidy.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Yes, but I haven't seen the footage, I'm so incredibly busy you see. So I couldn't possibly remark on whether or not this is or was a war crime. And, actually, it's really quite gauche of you to ask, to be perfectly honest.

Edit: context

This doesn't bode well for Palestinian side

Just some more casual war crimes....

[-] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago

Casual war crimes are in this season.

[-] [email protected] 85 points 7 months ago

This is one of those war crimes you can know very little about war crimes and still identify. It’s just that fucked.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It's called "perfidy"

Quoting Wikipedia:

In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed.

[-] [email protected] 76 points 7 months ago

Well that's certainly a war crime. Wonder if the rest of the world will look the other way on this too.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

Oil is involved so... yes.:-(

Remember the Republicans in the USA are still salivating over how to stop funding to curb Russian aggression while simultaneously wanting to fund Israel.

We went from being one step away to joining with Ukraine to now being one step away from joining Israel.

They're just doing it so blatantly so they can show everyone they can get away with it. It's the same reason Putin kills his rivals in ways that obviously implicate him, he wants people to know it was him and nobody can do anything about it.

This is wildly fucked up. Why are they literally using terrorist tactics?

[-] [email protected] 54 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

terrorism is the war of poor

Hold up a mirror so the script gets flipped

'cause when it's in reverse it ain't wrong no more

Warfare's the terrorism of the rich

Because in war, the only goal is to remove the enemy by any means. Warcrimes mean nearly nothing if you remove the entire opposition. Victors write history books.

It's global nuclear war time 😎

The real terrorists are in the IDF.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Israel was literally founded by Irgun - a terrorist organization.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 7 months ago

Check out the r/worldnews thread. Example:

So let me get this straight.

Israel bombs hospitals to target Hamas terrorists. Everyone hates that because of the indirect casualties to civilian lives and direct damage to precious infrastructure.

Israel then does targeted attacks inside hospitals and ensures only Hamas terrorists die with very minimal damage to anything else. Everyone hates that because "they didn't do it right."

So then how are they supposed to get into hospitals to take these guys down? Is it a free terrorist shelter now? Is everyone inside a hospital safe from retaliation?

They want praise for only committing like three separate warcrimes instead of blowing up the already occupied hospital.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago

They seem to become more desperate now. Everything that they do will return to them someday.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

This type of actions are done on purpose to blurry the line between civilians and army so no one knows who is who. Everyone is paranoid so hamas kills more civilans, so Israel government can kill more civilans in retribution. Over all, Isriaelly goverment will win, since they are backed by US and they will take over all the land from Palestinians.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

This is a war crime. Israel is a pariah state

All the shocked Pikachus in here that never watched Munich.

I like how this one dude just storms in casually with his wheelchair like some Legendary grade loot box skin

Hey, a real example of evil being done by people in drag.

Wait, how can they disguise as women?

Aren't there any women in the Israeli forces?
