    If your best case is “It might not technically be a war crime”, you are not in a great position.

    You: Accuse Israel of war crimes

    They: Prove that Israel technically didn’t commit any war crime

    You: tHaT’s NoT a GoOd ArGuMeNt


    I’m not saying I agree with everything Israel is doing, but calling their actions war crimes when they’re not is just wrong. I hate to break it to you, but insisting on a lie doesn’t make it any more true.
