Just for context, because sometimes we need to remind basic facts.
The Geneva Conventions are international laws that establish international legal standards for humanitarian treatment in war since 1864. They extensively define the basic rights of wartime prisoners, civilians and military personnel.
A war crime is a violation of the laws of war. War crimes include shooting on disarmed civilians, denying medical treatment, food or water to captive wounded soldiers from the enemy, or deliberately starving people to death.
Israel MUST provide reasonable medical care to civilians wounded by its army, because this is required by the international laws and treaties signed previously by Israel.
The second claim is interesting because avoiding to declare formally a war has been a common trick for decades to bypass the Geneva Conventions. The legal category of Crimes against humanity still apply in those cases.
Most probably not - but there is also absolutely no need for chivalry if your opponent doesn't stick to any rules.
The point was not the war declaration or the lack of it - the point is - if someone announces he's going to kill you and then does basically everything to prove that it's not a bluff and no one else is stopping him, then you're allowed to do whatever it takes to save your life.
> You're allowed to do whatever it takes to save your life.
Not. Individuals and countries work in a different way. Humanitarian International laws are not optative if you want to be accepted by the international community. The "convenience" of assassinating journalists, physicians or nurses routinely is not debatable.
The new generations breastfeed with videogames and blockbusters forget sometimes that war has rules and laws. Created for the benefit of ALL parts involved. To follow this laws is good for you. Ignore them at your own risk.
Israel in my stupid opinion should erase this silly smirks on TV, show some humility and stop pretending that they live in an alternate reality. Their bad choices and reckless behaviour had destroyed lots of sympathy all around the planet, and this is not wise.
Not if you still want tourism. Not specially when you depend on a protector that is driving directly towards an economical recession; and could find more and more difficult to justify the need to allocate precious resources to support you, while their own citizens struggle to survive.
They should work hard to rebuild the broken relationships. Smiling because you bought the big politicians only works while they remain in power. European politicians are slowly waking up to the fact that supporting a genocide is expensive and a fast path to the unemployment queue. The people is really furious about this.
