The call to Mahmoud Shaheen came at dawn.

It was Thursday 19 October at about 06:30, and Israel had been bombing Gaza for 12 days straight.

He'd been in his third-floor, three-bedroom flat in al-Zahra, a middle-class area in the north of the Gaza Strip. Until now, it had been largely untouched by air strikes.

He'd heard a rising clamour outside. People were screaming. "You need to escape," somebody in the street shouted, "because they will bomb the towers".

So your definition of "war crime" is unique and different from the Geneva Conventions definition of war crimes.

So when you say :

However the answer isn't to respond with more war crimes.

What yiu need to realize is that people arent responding to war crimes with more war crimes. Theyre responding with force which is much less violent than what the Geneva Conventions would allow them to respond with.

I had read chocolated and was amused. Yes, colated does remove some of the protection. But Israel has to prove that. There will be problems if there is no evidence and/or internal doubts from intelligence appear.

For the most part they have shown and told this war. More than they have historically. And in the case of Al Shifa, that being a dual use hospital has been well known and documented for years in the press.

This is revenge. It will just create a whole new generation of Hamas. It won't help peace. The previous peace wasn't really peace but dominance. For real peace, to stop the murder of both sides, there needs to be a peace process. The nutters of sides need to be sidelined and even face a just justice system.
