    This is where a few things start to blur. Hamas is both the government of Palestine and a designated terrorist organization by everyone but the UN security council (impotent veto pricks).

    War crimes can only be committed in state-state conflict - Palestine v Israel, state - state. But at the same time terrorists cannot as it is not war - its conflict (actually the definition). So can Palestine be done for war crimes but its government and militants not? Terrorists don’t get protection in protected places like hospitals and temples and therefore remove their protected status, but they can’t be done for endangering civilians as they aren’t a state that has to follow the rules of war.

        Just say you don’t actually have an argument and resort to lesser insults than my 6 year old would use at school.
