Israel (now broader Mid East discussion)

It's not the argument that's simple, it's the premise. Because either a school is targeted or it isn't. And either legitimate targets being believed to be present can make it acceptable to target a school in spite of the presence of civilians being used as human shields, at least under some circumstances such as these ones, or it can't.

Personally, I lean towards the notion that "Look what you made me do," isn't a defense for war crimes.
I don't understand this whole "war crimes" concept. I never have.

A war is made of continuous criminal acts so to speak. It's what it is. Speaking of "war crimes" is kind of like saying "war-war."

Why would one say the word "war" twice?
