Another day, another war crime

Just as a reminder of how we approach war crimes, Sgt Blackman executed a wounded combatant and was sentenced to 7 years.

These soldiers killed 15 medics in clearly marked ambulances. Do we expect Israel to come close to our standards? I doubt it.

Really?

Yes, really.
Israel acts with impunity while claming to be a democratic nation and ignores directives from the UN and the ICC, while the UK is rightly held accountable for the actions of its troops abroad.
Why should this be tolerated when Israel expects our unequivocal support?

What's the UN and ICC position on the taking, raping and torturing of civilian hostages?

Punish those responsible? Or just do it Israeli style and kill everyone you see even if they are in medics' uniform, ambulance with lights flashing and tending to victims.

Oh, and then lie to the world about murdering innocent civilians.

They are against it, as far as i'm aware.
Surely you can come up with something more tangible than this.

October 7th.

Hamas got away with it? Or Israel were hounded by the press on that day?

How many ICC arrest warrants were issues shortly after Oct 7th?

 

[denso13]

No idea. Can you not just make your point?

I've already made my point. ICC and UN rules apply to Israel, they do not apply to Hamas.
The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Mohammed Deif (Hamas) in November 2024, Israel killed Deif in July 2024 and publicly announced such.
