    Literally the first thing the US does in any engagement is cut the power.

    It’s not a war crime lol

    With certain limitations, parts of a country’s electrical grid can be considered legitimate targets if they are used to power military facilities. This is true even if the targets have a civilian as well as a military purpose, so long as destroying the object would “offer a definite military advantage”

      Israeli authorities’ cutting off electricity to Gaza and other punitive measures against Gaza’s civilian population would amount to unlawful collective punishment, which is a war crime, said the Human Rights Watch on 9 October.

        Human Rights Watch is an activist group with no authority.

        You are free to agree or disagree with them. Clearly I disagree here, but I do agree with their condemnation of the Palestinian attacks.

          I don’t care about your opinion I care about the facts. Israel is very openly doing war crimes.

            That is not a fact. That is an opinion.

              Cool story bud. We done here?

              The original conversation was “the collective punishment Israel is engaging in isn’t a war crime”, you’ve moved the goalposts and I’m not interested in continuing this game.

                    It’s not apartheid to be at war.

                    Maybe chill on the anti-Semitism enough to know how ridiculous this ask is.

      As if the US gives a single fuck about war crimes. If we did, at least 5 people from George W. Bush’s administration would be rotting in prison right now.

      Yes, it’s still a war crime when we do it.
