“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

      Murder is against the law in western countries but of someone tries to kill you, you can kill them in self defense.

      So yea of someone is committing war crimes against you, you can fo ahead and fight back to get them to stop

        War crimes are war crimes, doesn’t matter if the other side started them first. Israel is stooping just as low as Hamas is with these tactics, you can and should fight in self defense without targeting Civilians

        It’s legally how the Geneva Conventions work. You are only bound to them if the other side agrees to it as well.

        However, Hamas is not the Gaza Strip, it is not Palestine, and Israel claims the Strip as its territory anyways so to claim the civilian population doesn’t accept the Convention so they aren’t bound by it is ludicrous.
