Can you - without qualification - criticise this one Israeli action?
The only “law” in war, is to win……..

And a “win” can have many definitions.

Total victory is preferable, but rarely achievable.

Israel, is pursuing total victory, as is their right.

Would I “criticise” Israel, yes..of course. Happy to do so on various fronts. It’s a low bar.

Would i “condemn” them? No.

I’m sure when HAMAS comply with that law, Israel would be more than happy to.

Or do you think only Israel is bound by that law?
