This is exactly the shit people are talking about. ~~Palestine~~ The terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad blew up a gathering of people at that hospital, then everyone just takes ~~Palestine's~~ Hamas' word for it and yells at Israel for something ~~Palestine~~ Palestinian Islamic Jihad did.

The elected government of Palestine, Hamas. Yes, that organization. Yet they still are targeting Hamas instead of intentionally enacting collective punishment.

The elected government of Palestine by the only election since 2006, which at that time the US President is George W. Bush, the one who started the horrible Iraq War, Hamas. Yes, that organization. Yet they still are targeting Hamas ~~instead of~~ and intentionally enacting collective punishment by cutting off water and electricity, cutting aid from international humanitarian organization, and displace home for the millions.

Israel is at war. Collective punishment is no longer a relevant claim. They have declared war on the government of Palestine, Hamas. They are no longer in competition and are no longer attempting to use these controls to prevent violence. There is nothing illegal or genocidal about it right now while they conduct literal war.

Israel is at war. Collective punishment is no longer a relevant claim.

Geneva Conventions is literally the treaty meant for oversee war and prevent war crime. You're speaking out from your ass again.

Cite from it then. You didn't mention it before. Genocide is defined in far more than just the multiple Geneva conventions and so far no one has shown an understanding of it. Cite from it.

No, i already cite mine on another comment, YOU cite your source for your claim first. If you said it isn't genocide, then cite your source to counter mine instead of talking from your ass, like genocide-denial always do.

The burden of proof is on the claim maker. Kindly prove that you are not a robot made by fairies in Mordor if you think the burden of proof is otherwise.

The burden of proof is on the claim maker.

You claimed this:

Israel is at war. Collective punishment is no longer a relevant claim.

Now cite your source.

You want me to cite a source that says that you are allowed to conduct collateral damage and attack supply lines while at war? That burden of proof is still on you. Nothing in the Geneva Conventions forbids it.

You:

Israel is at war. Collective punishment is no longer a relevant claim.

Also you:

You want me to cite a source that says that you are allowed to conduct collateral damage and attack supply lines while at war?

Be sure not to hurt your back moving goal post like that.

Also:

Article 75 — Fundamental guarantees

The following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever, whether committed by civilian or by military agents:

a) violence to the life, health, or physical or mental well-being of persons, in particular:

i) murder;

d) collective punishments;

Maybe go eat a sandwich or something, i'm done with your tantrum.

Collateral damage is not collective punishment.

Collateral damage is acceptable when targeting legal targets.

Targets are only legal in a time of war.

Something tells me you don't do this for a living.

you're right, i'm not being a troll for a living.
