Since October 7, more than 3,257 children have been reported killed, including at least 3,195 in Gaza, 33 in the West Bank, and 29 in Israel, according to the Ministries of Health in Gaza and Israel respectively. The number of children reported killed in just three weeks in Gaza is more than the number killed in armed conflict globally – across more than 20 countries – over the course of a whole year, for the last three years.

The ol' "you shot me in the foot so I burnt down your neighborhood and killed your entire extended family" defense. Unbeatable in the court of law.

I agree, except I think Israel is the one to both start and end this.
I burnt down your house and killed your family, but because you shot me in the foot, I'll burn down your neighborhood and kill your entire extended family.

Don't forget how they'll cry to all their friends and relatives that they were the victims all along.

That one doesn't hold up as well in court though...

there's a history of violence on both sides since the post-ww2 era. no one really has time or any real inclination to attend court

Ah the ol' "history of violence and I've got more killing to do, so ain't no time for court" defense. An interesting strategy. Suppose it depends on the judge.

it's got more to do with the accused/accuser - neither are going to visit a courtroom (ie: the hague).

come on man, you're not even following the format of the joke here.

my apologies

no need to apologize. Sorry if that came off dickish. I was trying to entice you into joining the black humor.
