    You:

    Israel is at war. Collective punishment is no longer a relevant claim.

    Also you:

    You want me to cite a source that says that you are allowed to conduct collateral damage and attack supply lines while at war?

    Be sure not to hurt your back moving goal post like that.

    Also:

    Article 75 — Fundamental guarantees

    1. The following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever, whether committed by civilian or by military agents:

    a) violence to the life, health, or physical or mental well-being of persons, in particular:

    i) murder;

    d) collective punishments;

    Maybe go eat a sandwich or something, i’m done with your tantrum.

      Collateral damage is not collective punishment.

      Collateral damage is acceptable when targeting legal targets.

      Targets are only legal in a time of war.

      Something tells me you don’t do this for a living.

          What’s more likely, Israel is a nation state troll with multiple western security apparatuses in support or there’s at least a scheme of logic that people who actually look at the data can look at?

          It’s funny because everyone I know that is liberal and left who work in national security break with the rest of their demographic and you see it in the Democratic party establishment as well. I’ve never seen a more clear line between experts who work on the space and those that do not.
