It’s something I’ve seen slowly starting to emerge over the course of the last year or so. Maybe even longer. There’s accounts that post stories to designed to shock people into thinking India is a terrible place. Like I get it. India does have issues. And it does have issues with sexual violence as well. But its a shame those conversations seemingly cannot be had without resorting to racism. I hope this site us different.

    international law has concept proportionality, which is clearly lacking within Israeli state and military. you should educate yourself.

      I await to see how you justify the apparently indiscriminate massacres of 1,139 people - 695 Israeli civilians (including 36 children), and 71 foreign nationals. Let’s set aside the possibility of rapes and sexual assault as they can’t be absolutely verified.

      In what way do you believe they were proportional?

          Yes. My claim wasn’t that Israel isn’t committing war crimes. It clearly is. Possibly genocide too. However, I’m of the opinion that the Hamas attack was a war crime too - hence parties

          I hope that’s helpful

            you are arguing in bad faith. just stop, nobody is buying it.

            public opinion has turned for Israel, so they better finish killing off the Gaza residents, I doubt another such chance present itself. Country will forever be stained with this shit.

              You’re projecting here, I think. I’ve been pretty clear on my position. You haven’t said why you think the Oct 7 attack doesn’t constrain war crime by Hamas.

                Hamas is a non state actor under international law. This is not a war, Israel is conducting reprisal against local population due to a terrorist attack. Just like US did after 911.

                Reprisals against civilian population is a war crime.

                  Fair point to the extent that Palestine isn’t a state, Hamas can never commit a war-crime. So that’s OK then.

                    Israel is not even killing Hamas. They just doing scortch earth policy on Gaza residents.
