It would be better put as 75 years of dispossession. They should have at least received compensation if not allowed to return to their homes.

I answered the question already. As I said, it depends.

Let's hope that weapons are not stored in any hospital, much less that a hospital is a base for firing missiles. Legitimate? It would have to be a severe immediate threat to justify attacking a functioning hospital, I think, besides the issue of proportionality.

I've not heard Israel making a claim that missiles were fired from hospitals. There was an instance of missiles stored in an UNWRA school. https://www.unrwa.org/newsroom/press-releases/unrwa-condemns-placement-rockets-second-time-one-its-schools

The photos of before & after in the New York Times of several areas bombed don't seem to show any deeper craters indicating that underground structures were penetrated, only that surface structures were erased. It would be helpful if some reporting would address the question of whether any tunnels, etc, were hit with those 6000 bombs.

From the link which I cited, they have been going after abuses in Africa quite a bit. https://www.icc-cpi.int/cases The previous prosecutor was banned from the US, even though US actors have not been charged, nor has any case affecting US interests been advanced AFAIK.

I am not a theologian. People who ascribe God's Will to events have a certain fatalistic mentality. That's dangerous.

Predictably, this bombing led to the cancelation of the meeting in Amman. I believe that the meeting agenda was humanitarian aid and even discussion of a cease fire - not anything that would suit Bibi's agenda. It may take 50-60 year, if ever, to see in archives what was discussed, decided, ordered by the Israeli leadership.

True, probably more, but the IDF were dropping 6000 bombs intentionally on residences. Hamas rockets land whereever, by God's will. In the past, most landed without causing injury to people, but set off a lot of alarms. The 6000 bombs were dropped without the warning that they do, but maybe those warnings are only for rocket attacks.

Just a reasonable assumption. As for the situation in Israel proper here are two articles for your edification: https://www.hrw.org/news/2020/05/12/israel-discriminatory-land-policies-hem-palestinians https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/real-estate/2023-04-11/ty-article/.premium/dont-call-it-a-housing-crisis-the-discriminatory-plight-of-israeli-arabs/00000187-526f-dde0-afb7-7e7f62cc0000

Let's hope that this can be investigated promptly so that the perpetrator and leadership, whichever side, can be held to account.

Great, but in other countries permits are issued in most cases. Not the case if you are Palestinian in the instance cited.

Assuming that it was an IDF bombing, the intent was to terrify people in Gaza so that they would flee. In 1948 a handful of atrocities were instrumental in getting 80% of the Palestinian population in today's Israel to flee to Gaza and the West Bank. As for "5 figure", this barbarism is not over yet.

Let's hope that international war crimes investigators have immediate access.

Putin is welcome in North Korea, China, Syria. Where else?

This has been used frequently in previous attacks on Gaza as an excuse to commit war crimes.

Then you don't know, for example, that Arab communities in northern Israel are grouped in larger Jewish urban agglomerations that then have control over housing construction permits. Result: permits not issued for these Israeli Arabs, demolition if they build with no permit. Just an example of discrimination. This Israeli apartheid is not identical to the South African case, maybe worse! It's more blatant in the West Bank than in Israel proper because the rule of law, the Supreme Court, prevent a lot of these abuses from being applied in Israel. This could change if the "reforms" happen. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2022/02/israels-system-of-apartheid/

Under the Rome Statute, signatory states have engaged to arrest people accused by the ICC prosecutor. Sometimes they ignore their obligations, though. The tribunal has put some of the indicted on trial. https://www.icc-cpi.int/cases

The question is whether Palestinian accession to the Rome Statute covers Gaza. That's separate from crimes covered by the Geneva conventions.

IDF is not a reliable source.

For certain classes of war crimes Netanyahu et al would not be protected by diplomatic immunity, just like Putin.

6000 bombs

Muslim nations are outraged, too.

It was conclusively shown by various media investigations that Abu Akleh, an American citizen, was killed by an IDF sniper. Israel trying to blame Palestinian gunmen was patently false, since the fighting at the time was in another direction from the IDF fire which involved multiple shots at the journalist. The intentional nature of this crime was ignored by the White House for political reasons, apparently. Just another example of White House complicity in apartheid.
