    I think they would argue Hamas militants are unlawful combatants (they don’t follow laws of war) and the Geneva convection doesn’t apply.

    I find it funny how if you are fighting someone that doesn’t follow the laws of war you can not follow them too but you are not in violation, they are!

      Especially with how little damage Hamas has been able to do in comparison to the damage the IDF has caused Palestine for decades. Like, if a child hit an adult, no matter how “unlawful” it was, if the adult drop-kicked them into next week that’d be a huge problem. Now, the only people acting like children are in the Israeli government but you get the idea.
