But only when its not Israel bombing hospitals, its a war crime right?
This is true of every war I can think of. Even Russia is trying to act like the good guy in the war they started. TBF, every side thinks they are the good guy. Which logically just can’t be true.

Thankfully they found a friendly person to show them a way through the mountains. Unfortunate that all those Spartans were never heard from again though. Such a tragedy.
Russia bombed plenty of hospitals as well, and that was widely condemned. The only countries that are allowed to bomb hospitals are the US and Israel.
And even though it’s understandable that Iran would bomb a hospital in retaliation of Israel bombing one of theirs, it’s definitely not a smart thing to do, given how things like that play in the Western media.
In addition to it always being a war crime of course, regardless of context.
I’m just trying to clarify when it is and is not a war crime. Bcz some people seem to think it’s not a war crime at all. It confuses me, and I just have to sit here and wait for someone to tell me when its good and when its bad, so I know how to feel about innocent injured people in a hospital getting bombed to all hell. Honestly, its baffling how anyone keeps all this stuff in their head all at once.
It’s always a war crime. People will argue there’s exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.
Maybe…but only if Fox News tells me its a war crime.
I want to be on the side of not killing civilians…
It is sad to see politics come before protecting life. People can be so unempathetic.
Yeah, I agree. It’s a always bad. War fucking sucks. I’d like to go back to the days when politicians had to go to war with their armies, so they might think twice before starting wars. Not that it stopped people in the past, but im fairly certain there were no world wars back in the days before planes and bombs could be dropped.
Honestly I think people skip over the human aspect
Bombing a hospital in retaliation does nothing but kill innocent people. The people in that hospital have no control over Israel. Responding to murder with more murder doesn’t help anyone.
Both can be war crimes
Anyone who knowingly targets civilians is in violation of international law
Are you sure? Fox News hasn’t told me how to feel yet.
