Basic Rules of War: 1- Civilians & civilian structures are NEVER legitimate targets 2- Disproportionate & indiscriminate violence are prohibited 3- Collective punishment is prohibited 4- Torture & mutilation are prohibited 5- Detainees should be treated humanely

It applies to both sides...

Yes...

So wait, the civilian hostages held in Gaza are what then exactly? Butchering innocent Israelis is what actually? If you want to blame someone blame the Hamas, blame your own people, don’t point your finger on israel - we are simply protecting our existence! #israel

But no Jew is a civilian to you.

1- civilian targets used to launch rockets from or hide ammunition are military targets. 2- please define the proportionate response to the unprovoked barbaric slaughtering of 1400 Israelis and abducting of 240 incl infants, elderly and disabled. Would love to know what that looks like 3- clear. There is none going on. Israel gave warning. Hamas is holding Gazans hostage 4. Great. Hope you’re condemning Hamas for their documented torture and mutilation of Israeli terror victims. 5 - is that how Hamas is treating the 240 Israeli detainees? Unclear since the @ICRC isn’t allowed to see them. On Israeli side they have full transparency to see all prisoners.

Maybe you should tell your friends in Hamas

It’s not just about the tragedies we see; it’s about what’s done afterward. Israel takes its own to court for war crimes. Hamas celebrates them as heroes. That’s a world of difference.

Imagine thinking war has rules

We are fighting terrorists. Before you lecture anyone, check what Hamas has been doing over the past few years, and especially the last few days.

This you?
