It literally is for countries occupying other countries during a war.
That is a job of an occupying force that if it doesn't do is LITERALLY A WAR CRIME for exactly this reason.
The US, as bad as it was for what it did in the countries it invaded STILL didn't do this. Israel is looking for special treatment by not having to live up to this standard that other countries in combat have lived up to.
I guess I really shouldn't expect competence from a conscript army.
Northern Gaza, jackass. When you destroy distribution functions of a society, shit becomes non uniformly distributed.
Keep arguing with just utterly easy to show wrong responses based off of bad faith readings of what I'm saying, it makes my responses that much easier to write in an understandable format.
EDIT: Correction, I'm not wasting more time on a propaganda brained nationalist.
Once again, we have "propaganda is when someone disagrees with me"
Nope.
Things that you've done that make me think you are propaganda:
Argued in bad faith ( intentionally conflating per-capita measurements with gross measurements to imply the other person is stupid, never acknowledges points where the other person has to correct you and instead just ignores the areas that you've been proven wrong )
Believing only one source of information that is explicitly biased and comes from one of the combatants.
Ignores sources of information from independent sources. This ties into point one, as you also don't acknowledge any statements shown to be incorrect.
You're free to disagree with anyone you want to. When you do the above you are either paid, or a dumbshit teenager that still enjoys trolling for the sake of trolling. I don't really care which one it is, as you're doing on the corpses of innocent children.
Oh, that's right, from your other comments it is clear that you don't believe there are any innocents in the region. Guess you forgot that collective punishment itself is also a war crime.

Don't start wars. Wars are bad. Fuck Hamas and fuck anyone who supported them. I wish their kids had parents who gave a shit about them.
Putting things in stupid caps doesn't change international law. It also doesn't change what literally every other nation in the world is expected to do, and does, in times of war.
You're literally expecting different treatment for Israel, allowing them to commit war crimes, because they're ... special?
You do realize that having a different response to Israel doing something versus other countries is literally one of the definitions of antisemitism from the IHRA, right?
I wish the Israelis weren't intent on intentionally causing as much collateral damage as possible to intentionally thin the population to a minimum(An intention actually stated by Bibi.)
Yes, the response to Israel doing something is indeed always more severe than when any other country does it.
As to war crimes, I've never seen any evidence of intentional targeting of civilians as a matter of policy. I've seen evidence of individual soldiers doing that, and that's happened in every war. It's why war is bad, and you shouldn't start wars.
There is not a single country on this planet which would tolerate an organization like Hamas remaining in power after an event like Oct 7.
This is you doing the bad faith thing again. You knew what I meant. I can back it up with facts. But instead you don't engage with something that you can't back up, and just ignore the point I'm making.
Too bad the IDF is really just an air force that hasn't yet learned the lesson that an air force can't hold territory, and the only strategy they have is bombing civilians when the militants absolutely own most of the engagements they get into with the conscript army.
In other words, Israel has to learn to live with Hamas, because they can't handle them any way other then through genocide.
Also, you don't make peace with your friends. You make peace with your enemies. That is why it is called making peace, and why it is hard.
