War Crimes...

[Highway Man]

In a firefight, yes...

But was 'staying alive' the priority when executing prisoners and civilians including sleeping children?

I think not!


So either both sides have to be held accountable or neither side should be?

If it's the latter, then your wish for 'no wars, no war crimes and no unnecessary killing' is a non starter!

When do you think a fire fight starts. Do you think that there is a difference between distance and killing. You are on your toes the second you arrive to the moment you die or survive. You have no idea of whether or not a fire fight was ongoing or it had just ended when these executions were commited. The circumstances would have dictated the fates of all involved. Nobody wants to see children executed but the circumstances are unknown.

It'd be useful if the IDF could distinguish between friend and foe; like the time they shot dead three hostages pleading for their lives with the words 'Help!' and 'I'm Jewish' writ large on their bodies.

Both sides are accountable obviously.

And yet Palestine is a terrorist state and Israel is protected by America.

Go figure.

Yes to both

Yeah, who do they think they are...

Investigating the truth, however uncomfortable that may be...

Same for all journalists, how dare they do the same and expose wrong doings...

Guess you must be a fan of poo tin and his methods of media control

The media is controlled by the state over many things concerning the military and national security.
Journalists don't have the right to report anything they like no matter what country they are in. This isn't about Russia bad, or poo tin bad.
I don't know the full details of what the BBC (spit) are revealing here, but from what I have read, they are leaving a whole truck load of context out and filling the void with hyperbole, because, as is witnessed by the replies on here, most (like 99.9%) of the population don't have any idea about how our special forces operate and why they operate the way they do.

 

[Odds]

Isolated incidents can be explained by combat stress/fatigue and fear but the war crimes committed in Palestine, Sudan or Myanmar are a systematic policy, accredited by the government, and a totally different ball game altogether.

What a bunch of bastards the BBC really are

Lirefighter hates news channels that broadcast news,

Lirefighter can only cope with propaganda channels like Truth Social, GBnews, Fox news.

Who told you that?

It's completely untrue

I guess my mate in the SAS and the others on the rescue mission for the downed helicopter crew would just thing ah well no point getting revenge as they watched the 50 locals playing football with the heads of the downed crew. They should just think its ok for them

 

[gas112]

It's been about 8 years for me. The letter I get every 6 months or so goes straight in the bin.

had them come to the door guy said can i come in and just check
He was told dont be so f##king stupid , he just laughed and walked away .
And to think people believed tv detector vans work

 

[gas112]

just think if bravo 2 zero mob had shot the goat herder they would have more than likely all got out alive .
Same as the navy seals in lone survivor . instead of killing the so called innocent civilian they let them live and paid for it with there lives

Please could you tell us what you have read.

As you have the "truck load of context" that is missing, please could you provide it and the links where you got it from.

If they have done nothing wrong then they have nothing to worry about. Serious allegations have been made, they can't just be ignored.

 

[Notch7]

civilian legal and moral frameworks cant just be transferred to a war setting.........the situations are not the same at all


Of course British military can not be allowed to engage in indiscriminate actions, or we become no better than terrorists

there has to be a careful balance, war crimes should not be brushed under the carpet but nor should the media, the courts or politicians be allowed to hound veterans endlessly for years and years.

I do not believe people who join the military do it because they want to go to war and kill people, the vast majority do it because they want an honourable and great career.

I dont think its helpful for the media to sensationalise these cases
