This is a war. What makes you think war is supposed to be proportionate?
How many American civilians were killed at Pearl Harbor? There were 68.
How many Japanese civilians were subsequently killed by Americans? About 500,000.
Americans weren't obligated to stop when Japanese civilian casualties outnumbered American civilian casualties. They were only obligated to stop when Japan surrendered.
The Geneva Suggestions.
A "war" as you're mentioning it is very different than what's happening here.
Sure, in a total war, massive nation state war , if one side blunders and gets a whole army, or a whole city obliterated, that's just war. (I'm not condoning or calling for total war, anywhere. Just explaining a difference)
This is absolutely not that.
Two governments, Hamas and Israel, are shooting at each other.
That means it's a war.
Nah.
Hamas is a political party not a government.
Hamas is the party in control of government of Gaza.
Who's supposed to surrender? Theres no government, it's not a war, it's a massacre.
Yes, war crimes are good actually. More war crimes please! /s
Ah yes, Israel is just doing what the US did in Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. Very apt comparison.
Also the US killed way more that 500,000 Japanese civilians in WWII. Your just counting the atom bombs. We had leveled multiple cities with conventional and fire bombs before that.
No, I'm counting total casualties. Roughly 200,000 in all were killed by the atomic bombings.
