Thought so, you have no idea and obviously know knowledge of International Humanitarian Law IHL allows for the killing of civilians when militarily necessary, subject to the principles of distinction and proportionality. This stems from a recognition that killing is a given in wars, and it is simply unfeasible to criminalise all kinds of civilian deaths. IHL can be understood as accepting the realities of violence in war while restraining its effects. Fundamentally, as long as an attack is proportionate to the concrete and direct anticipated military gains, any incidental wounding or killing of civilians may not automatically be deemed an unlawful act, subject to individual assessment. Just for some further clarification for you. Mistakes are indeed made and Israel have owned up to these, however everything is done to avoid civilian casualties and your comparison to the Holocaust remains pathetically wrong as does your claim that Israel is deliberately killing thousands of women, children and men. How is the IDF Minimizing Harm to Civilians in Gaza? https://www.idf.il/en/mini-sites/the-hamas-terrorist-organization/how-is-the-idf-minimizing-harm-to-civilians-in-gaza/

No. You seriously don't get it at all. The facts have been posted numerous times and you're doing your usual ignore

Another one still waiting to return from the clutches of the terrorists: Noa Argamani was supposed to go back to school today. But she can’t. Instead, she will spend this day in unimaginable conditions as a hostage in Gaza, Bring Noa home now. https://twitter.com/HenMazzig/status/1741469067112825310

Can you cite the claim that it "did not violate their rules of engagement" In publishing the results of its final probe into the issue, the IDF said that despite the soldiers clearly violating the rules of engagement – by firing on persons who presented no immediate danger and were waving a white flag – the enormous complexity of the circumstances led to no immediate punishment. IDF sources suggested that once the war was over it was possible that disciplinary or other action might theoretically be taken against some of the soldiers involved, but in the meantime the soldiers are being left to continue to fight in the field. https://www.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-779923

The Israeli Opera has released a version of the Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim classic "Somewhere" from West Side Story on behalf of the hostages held in Gaza. https://twitter.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/1741451903513362554

Yes its been bombing, a fact no one can dispute, where did I dispute that? Knowingly killing thousands of children women and men is not a fact, you've just made that up. You also missed the thousands of Hamas terrorists killed that are not separated out in those death figures that are issued by Hamas, another fact. One more fact, it can all end tomorrow if Hamas surrenders and releases the hostages. It prefers to let the deaths continue.

Oh it tries daily with its rockets into Israel.

Rubbish. If you get to the desperate attempt to try the moral high ground on this then you've already lost. Your are making vile unsubstantiated claims of this being acts of murder by Israel. I deal with facts. The facts are in my previous posts which you have ignored.

The problem is you are insinuating that Israel is doing this intentionally, it is not. Hamas is however, why are you not prolific on calling them out for this and stopping the deaths. It could be done today. https://twitter.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1740826493758951436

You know that was always the aim of Hamas right, to sacrifice the Gaza pollution while they sit comfortably hiding in tunnels or homes/schools/hospitals https://twitter.com/cogatonline/status/1740101383414743192

Do you mean the deliberate bombing of homes housing Hamas terrorists or their infrastructure? Or perhaps the urban warfare going on right now that virtually flattens towns due to the fighting from Hamas in civilian residential homes?

After this incident yesterday: The US Navy has destroyed Houthi "small boats" whose crew attempted to board a container ship in the Red Sea. Four vessels from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen fired upon the Maersk Hangzhou and got within metres of the ship, the US military said. Helicopters from nearby US warships responded to a distress call - and, after being fired upon, sank three boats "in self-defence". The crews were killed and the fourth boat fled the area. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67851897 It looks like the UK is also now going to get involved in dealing with the Houthi UK preparing for attacks on Houthi rebels with US Britain’s military is preparing to launch a wave of air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthis creating chaos in the Red Sea, raising the prospect of a significant spiralling of tensions in the region. Under the plans the UK would join with the US and possibly another European country to unleash a salvo of missiles against pre-planned targets, either in the sea or in Yemen itself, where the militants are based. A Whitehall source said the co-ordinated strikes could involve RAF warplanes for the first time or HMS Diamond, a Type 45 destroyer which successfully destroyed an attack drone with a Sea Viper missile in the Red Sea this month. https://archive.ph/kjyFR https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/houthi-rebels-boats-yemen-red-sea-attacks-85mxc6gzt

Hamas can end this today, release the hostages and surrender. No, they prefer to use every last civilian as a human shield. Never before has a war been fought like this. Every mosque entered has a weapons store, schools routinely used as terror training camps, weapons stores and launch sites for rockets. Children's bedrooms with terror tunnel entrances and weapons under cots. "The soldiers saw a 13-year old boy running with a bag near one of the schools, he put it down and ran away, a few minutes later it detonated, badly wounding one of the Israeli soldiers nearby." Hamas’ philosophy: All civilians, all children are tools of war On one occasion recently his unit spotted an old lady in a wheelchair alone on a street corner in the south of Gaza. They approached the elderly lady “who looked like my grandmother” according to the major. And as they approached her they were suddenly fired on by a Hamas terrorist. He had placed himself under her wheelchair in order to fire on the Israeli soldiers. This is the Hamas that pretends to care for Palestinians but would even use an elderly disabled Palestinian woman as a human shield. https://nypost.com/2023/12/28/opinion/hamas-philosophy-all-civilians-all-children-are-tools-of-war/

Pretty shameful to compare the Holocaust where 6 million Jews were murdered to the war against Hamas started because of the murder of more Jews, more than at any time since the Holocaust. The accusation that Israel is doing the same thing is just sick.

Back on topic: This #NewYearsEve, remember the Israeli hostages still in captivity in #Gaza and demand to #BringThemHomeNOW!

I hope this happens but its not looking likely anytime soon. Israel Awaits Hamas' OK to Move Forward With Hostage Release Deal Israel is awaiting Hamas' decision on whether it is willing to move forward with a hostage release deal in the coming weeks. An Israeli official estimated that it will be possible to understand where the terror group is headed in the next two days, ahead of the arrival of a Hamas delegation for talks in Egypt. A source familiar with the negotiations told Haaretz that, "The very fact that talks are still ongoing is an achievement at this stage. Both sides' positions are very far apart, and no drafts have been exchanged. https://archive.ph/TRLad https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-12-30/ty-article/.premium/israel-awaits-hamas-ok-to-move-forward-with-hostage-release-deal/0000018c-bc47-d45c-a98e-bf4fd8660000

Deflecting from your lame attempts at making comparisons with prisoners and hostage yes #wearenotprisonerswearehostages https://twitter.com/AvivaKlompas/status/1740072090194280663

Related to topic, but you seem intend on talking about prisoners

That's exactly what you've been doing, no good trying to back track now

What did this baby do, or this young girl? https://twitter.com/YaariCohen/status/1740969331742376446

Are you really attempting to make a comparison between the Palestinian prisoners and the innocent Israeli civilians taken hostage, some of whom suffered serious sexual abuse and rape, let alone being shot. Others had their parents killed in front of them, or their sons and daughters killed in front of them by the terrorists.

Some of the released Palestinian child prisoners with their Hamas flags held high source

Off topic deflection and 8 week old report

Sort yourself out. That's a totally different song to the last link from AJ you claimed.
