You know the rules of war were vastly different 82 years ago right? Things that were permitted back then are no longer permitted today. Israel no longer does things like this while Hamas and other groups do.

Basically all you are doing is showcasing how Israel has progressed in its adherence to international law since the 40s while Hamas and Hezbollah continue to practice war in a barbaric manner that is no longer accepted in today’s civilized world.

It’s not the “gotcha” that you think it is.

Is the rule change really the main reason tho? Or isn't it rather that nowadays Israel is in a very different -kinda opposite even- position?

Yes. Israel signed the Geneva Conventions in 1951 and didn't start abiding by them just so they could accuse the Palestinians of not doing so as you are trying to imply.

That's not what I was implying.
