Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

Legitimately curious as to your opinions, not dropping a landmine question:

What, in your opinion, constitutes acceptable rules of engagement for the IDF in this conflict? Or, if you prefer it put a different way, what military actions against Hamas and/or Hezbollah would not constitute a war crime?

The same rules of engagement we expect all countries to follow. What Russia is doing is also wrong, but it's effective, no? Just because it works doesn't mean the collateral damage is worth it. It's a difficult situation made worse by inexcusable actions, that action being, targeting civilians.

If in a year the US finds itself at war with Russia trying to help Ukraine root Russia out of Ukrainian territory, I would also be opposed to bombing the Russian army if they started using Ukrainian school children as human shields. I think you would be as well. Wouldn't you?
