Because last I checked there is no such law forcing Isreal to shoot back, school or otherwise. Intentionally bombing civilians is a war crime. I don't care how many of your "intended targets" you think you're getting. If you are bombing civilian centers, like, oh let's say a hospital for instance, then you are a war criminal, Full stop. There is nothing forcing Isreal to do that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] spirinolas@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children) So, if Hamas hid in a Israeli hospital would it be justifiable to bomb it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Threeme2189@lemm.ee -1 points 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [+] FakinUpCountryDegen@lemmy.world -9 points 2 years ago [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] jimbo@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago "forcing" Nobody is forcing Israel to do anything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Count042@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago Operation Cast lead. permalink fedilink source parent
