      A war criminal is someone we’re obligated by law to arrest. We are not obligated by law to arrest the president of Israel (only the prime minister).

        Yeah, let’s maybe not leave that up to the state/legal system to decide who is and isn’t a war criminal. They’re terribly biased and bad faith arbiters.

        “Why is Hitler a war criminal he didn’t pull any of the triggers”

        He’s literally the head of state of a country doing a genocide.

          Hitler was put on the United Nations War Crimes Commission’s first list of war criminals in December 1944, after determining that Hitler could be held criminally responsible for the acts of the Nazis in occupied countries. By March 1945, at least seven indictments had been filed against him.

          Hitler was actually the one ordering it. That’s Netanyahu’s role in Israel. The President is more like our Governor General, or the King. A largely ceremonial role.

                  Israel bad

                  Well, yes. That’s true.

                  And Israel’s president is, by all accounts, also a terrible person.

                  But he’s a terrible person with limited powers. Not like Israel’s Prime Minister, or America’s President.

                    No I’m saying Lemmy users aren’t smart, you are, but most Lemmy users are on par with Trump supporters, single minded, one eyed:

                    post says thing I disagree with, downvote >:| - average lemmy user
