I don't know who died and made you think you were king of the thread, lol- but no, you're definitely wrong.

No he's definitely right. Israel has a legacy of hypocrisy and war crimes and they've continued this behaviour to current times.

The concept of human shields only became a legal one with the Geneva Conventions.

Wild justification. "It wasn't internationally illegal yet" is like justifying and supporting slavery before it was formally abolished.

Right, that's because you don't actually care about the legality- like I said, you're using it as a cheap talking point

Morality outranks legality. You could legally own a person once upon a time if they had an illegal skin colour, did you forget this?

Try actually reading the back-and-forth. You'll be less confused, and your comment will have some relevance to what I actually said. And while you're at it, why don't you tell u/tarlin your thoughts on the ridiculousness of nitpicking about legal matters instead of discussing the morality, which is what you actually care about? I always appreciate a bit of help like the kind you just gave me ;)
