  Those are legitimate acts of war though , he has the legal right to wage war .

It isn't  crime for Countries to declare war .

So, he hasn't committed any crime in waging war in Gaza , its all legal , no crime committed

As part of war, its not illegal as such.

International law does not provide 100% protection for civilians at all times and in all situations.

It is what it is.

Whether war related decisions by Netanyahu (he's not the sole person deciding this, Israel is not a dictatorship) amount to 'crimes' would be something probably decided in the aftermath. So far, most of what Israel is doing is not very different than how other nations deal with such situations.

 

He is, probably, guilty of various corruption related crimes - but that's not what the point was about, I guess.

   It would be illegal to target innocent civilians , but it wouldn't be illegal if those innocent civilians get caught in the cross fire or in the vicinity of locations where the enemy are and they get bombed . so, to answer you question , Yes it is legal to kill kids in a war situation

Sadly when kids are used as meat shields and their deaths are used as propaganda for useful idiots to propagate, this will continue.   If Hamas cared about their kids they would:

 

1. Release all the innocent civilian hostages immediately.

2. Surrender all the terrorists that killed innocents on 7 Oct so they can face justice for their monstrous atrocities.

 

The ball is in the Hamas court and only they can put a stop to this.   Isreal have a right to defend themselves from these animals committing future attacks and unless they surrender then the only way to do this is with the use of force. 

Every time netanyahu opens his mouth, he loses support from people around the world. Keep it up bibi.

You dreamer you!

 

Anyone that thinks if they released the hostages israel would actually stop the bombing is IMO mistaken ( being polite ).

Apparently some members of the government have said they want to make Gaza uninhabitable. They don't say what they want to do with 2.3 million Gazans, but I have an idea of what that involves, though I can't say it on here.

The guy that decides enough is enough. Hamas break the existing ceasefire every day. Over a thousand rockets falling on civilians.

Then the animals decide to 'invade' Israel and kill babies, children and women. Perhaps throw your 'criminal' insults at those animals. Hamas are the legal group in charge of Gaza. Voted in by the people of Gaza.

What is the point of yet another meaningless ceasefire when Hamas ignore it daily?

Ask Hamas. They also cut their heads off.

Does anybody actually listen to your opinions? Of course there would be huge pressure to stop bombings and start negations if Hamas released the hostages. Its the very first step that needs to be taken right now.

What is not just an "apparently" is the stated aims of Hamas.   Let me repeat them for you from the hamas charter just so you are aware of the cause you are supporting.  

 

The original, 1988 version of the charter emphasize four main themes:

1. Destroying Israel and establishing an Islamic theocracy in Palestine is essential;
2. Unrestrained jihad is necessary to achieve this;
3. Negotiated resolutions of Jewish and Palestinian claims to the land are unacceptable;
4. Historical anti-semitic tropes that reinforce the goals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas_Charter#:~:text=The documents promote holy war,goal of completely eliminating Israel.

    If Palestinians released all its hostages and all the people involved in the terror attack were handed over to Israel for justice through the legal system and the military wing of Hamas were dismantled, then Israel would have no need to keep up with its military  campaign in Gaza

link?

It's apparently been disregarded as fake news for a long time now, and last time I looked it wasn't proven either way.

 

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/10/12/middleeast/israel-hamas-beheading-claims-intl/index.html

The Israeli government has not confirmed the specific claim that Hamas attackers cut off the heads of babies during their shock attack on Saturday, an Israeli official told CNN, contradicting a previous public statement by the Prime Minister’s office.

You are trying to justify the slaughter of innocent civilians, hence the Putin comparison. Try to educate yourself a bit on what's going on in Gaza, rather than believing everything Fox News wants you to.

   Your link doesn't deny that people got beheaded , Israel just stated that it wouldn't give any info on those beheaded, Israel wouldn't conform their age, sex or gender and wouldn't comment on those issues .

   Beheadings did happen, Israel just refused to confirm who the victims were
