Isn't pretending you're civilian like a war crime or something?

Also pretending you are a medic is a big nono on the Geneva's convention.

It looks like they are trying to get the war crime bingo.

Geneva's checklist

Yes, it's known as perfidy.

Yes, but I haven't seen the footage, I'm so incredibly busy you see. So I couldn't possibly remark on whether or not this is or was a war crime. And, actually, it's really quite gauche of you to ask, to be perfectly honest.

Edit: context

This doesn't bode well for Palestinian side

Just some more casual war crimes....

[–] FenrirIII 11 points 1 year ago

Casual war crimes are in this season.

[–] Crow 83 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is one of those war crimes you can know very little about war crimes and still identify. It’s just that fucked.

It's called "perfidy"

Quoting Wikipedia:

In the context of war, perfidy is a form of deception in which one side promises to act in good faith with the intention of breaking that promise once the unsuspecting enemy is exposed.

This is wildly fucked up. Why are they literally using terrorist tactics?

[–] rockSlayer 56 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

terrorism is the war of poor

Hold up a mirror so the script gets flipped

'cause when it's in reverse it ain't wrong no more

Warfare's the terrorism of the rich

Because in war, the only goal is to remove the enemy by any means. Warcrimes mean nearly nothing if you remove the entire opposition. Victors write history books.

It's global nuclear war time 😎

The real terrorists are in the IDF.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Israel was literally founded by Irgun - a terrorist organization.

Check out the r/worldnews thread. Example:

So let me get this straight.

Israel bombs hospitals to target Hamas terrorists. Everyone hates that because of the indirect casualties to civilian lives and direct damage to precious infrastructure.

Israel then does targeted attacks inside hospitals and ensures only Hamas terrorists die with very minimal damage to anything else. Everyone hates that because "they didn't do it right."

So then how are they supposed to get into hospitals to take these guys down? Is it a free terrorist shelter now? Is everyone inside a hospital safe from retaliation?

They want praise for only committing like three separate warcrimes instead of blowing up the already occupied hospital.

They seem to become more desperate now. Everything that they do will return to them someday.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

This type of actions are done on purpose to blurry the line between civilians and army so no one knows who is who. Everyone is paranoid so hamas kills more civilans, so Israel government can kill more civilans in retribution. Over all, Isriaelly goverment will win, since they are backed by US and they will take over all the land from Palestinians.

All the shocked Pikachus in here that never watched Munich.

I like how this one dude just storms in casually with his wheelchair like some Legendary grade loot box skin

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Hey, a real example of evil being done by people in drag.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Wait, how can they disguise as women?

Aren't there any women in the Israeli forces?

Additional new video footage here

The moment the IDF goes in for their hospital assasination is at 1:13

This happened at 05:30AM while they were sleeping.

According to Reuters the IDF shot all three men through the head in their sleep simultaneously and did not try to arrest them. One of the men was hospitalized for three months because of an IDF drone strike.

Rumor: forums online say the killed people were spokesmen not fighters. However this is not confirmed by any news source so far and might be false.
