    Israel/Palestine, a magical land where access to PGMs determines whether or not a military is guilty of war crimes.

    Is it not insane how we have seen repeated war crimes from both parties for nearly an entire year, and here we are talking about whether you could avoid hitting a hospital if you had precision guided munitions?

      Both sides are guilty of war crimes, and that bombing is a war crime in my opinion. Still, The Hezbollah have a lot of other option other than building bunkers under civilian building. If they can dig under that, they can dig under a mountain, a field, or anywhere else where their presence wouldn’t put others in danger.

      So tell me, other than using it as a shield, why dig a bunker under a civilian building ?

        My point was that war crimes committed by insurgents doesn’t invalidate war crimes committed by a corrupt right-wing strongman and his fascist thugs.

        I have a bunker under my apartment building in Sweden. In some rougher neighborhoods, these bunkers are used by gangs to store ak47s. It’s tough to take Israel’s word that every airstrike on a home or a hospital has blown up a “hamas command center”, especially considering that many of these airstrikes have been ordered by an AI.
