How many war crimes can Israel commit while our western leaders continue to stroke them? This is another fucking war crime. The families of journalists are not valid threats or targets.

At an international political level, the answer is all the war crimes. Most countries don't care enough to invade a different country, because of internal war crimes.

The best you can hope for is the threshold for economic sanctions. Which basically means you have to be unpopular with the Western political powers. Israel is very popular with the Western political powers.

We are unlikely to see any significant change in the treatment of war crimes here, until popular opinion in the US political sphere, Congress basically, starts to impact military support, economic support, and maybe even some sanctions.
