    “Jordan this week said they were told that Israel had prohibited filming Gaza from above.” Prohibiting reporting of a war zone should be seen as automatic confession of war crimes

      Aerial photography is also used for targeting strikes, it is de facto prohibited in Ukraine, and most hot wars.

        By Ukraine, not by Russia. Significant difference.

      Snipers targeting children, mass-murders of the medical workers, repeated shelling of the ambulances, executions in the "aid" hubs, all are very well documented, often by the Israeli own military personnel.

      There's a standing arrest warrant for some of the overseeing these atrocities, similar to these committed by Nazi Germany indeed.

      There's a haunting, rich documentation of genocidal intent and eradication programmes, not only in Gaza, but Also West Bank - what does Hamas do in there?

        From that link:

        > “Israel must immediately stop its unprecedented wanton destruction of healthcare facilities in Gaza,” said Navi Pillay, Chair of the Commission.

        Hamas stores strategic military assets at genuine medical facilities specifically because they're counting on an international reaction when Israel attempts to oppose them.

        As expected, the UN demands that hospitals be off-limits to Israel's attacks. Why is it silent about Hamas's militarization of these buildings?

          Israel's actions cause the death of these innocents, not Hamas.

          Why do you hand-pick one Hamas war crime (using civilians as live shields) to discount all the documented monstrosities committed by the military (and genocidal intent, as aired multiple times by Israeli politicians)?

          How does that even work? So you're saying carpet bombing of civilian infrastructure (especially houses), targeted attacks on hospitals, civilian and medical cars, Israeli-designated refugee camps, iterally murdering babies, targeting every single journalist and medic (cue infamous video of mass execution), hunting children with sniper rifles, killing hundreds of people queuing for aid (flour "fortified" with fentanyl), and last but not least inflicting famine on tge whole country...... all that is just fine because Hamas allegedly uses medical facilities?

          You're truly a monster.
