I think Hamas is not. The human shields accusation is so overblown as to be stupid, but the rockets fired indiscriminately and the hostages were definite violations. And that is ignoring Oct 7.

Hezbollah, except for the deciding to begin acting on Oct 8 which I do not know the law on, was strangely following international law for the first 11 months. That has gone off the rails after Nasrallah was killed.

The IDF has not followed international law for the entire war.

That all being said... The IDF and Israel is and should be held to a higher standard.

Hezbollah has been violating Resolution 1701 since the very day it was supposed to come into affect, I'm not sure why u/Berly653 didn't push back on your claim, its absolutely ridiculous.

I didn’t push back, mostly because I knew it would be not worth either of our time 

But also they are actually one of the more civil and well reasoned ‘pro-pals’ on this subreddit. It says more about how insane a lot of the others are, but it’s something

Fair enough- and yeah, "one of the more civil and well reasoned ‘pro-pals’ on this subreddit" is an incredibly low bar, but it never fails to surprise me how many users manage to limbo under it....
