You haven't answer my question. Is hamas killing of Israeli civilians allowed or not? You said civilian deaths are acceptable in a wart??
Why don't You read up on International Law, then You dont have to ask questions which has
been answered a zillion times.
There is NO international law forbidding killing civilians in wartime.
What is forbidden is attacking purely civilian targets.
Thus an attack vs a large missile storage facility, which kills 10 civilians is 100% legal,
while a suicide bomber that blows himself up on a civilian bus with (by chance) no civilian casualties
except the suicide bomber is 100% illegal.
100 attacks on significant military targets each with 10 civilian dead for a 1000 dead civilians
is more legal, than a single guy getting on a bus where he shoots a fellow passenger.
Numbers does not say zilch. Intention behind killings is all that counts for legality.
There is a side clause, and that is that actions which are believed to be important,
and risk civilian lifes must be measured for proportionality.
A missiles vs a civilian city constitutes a war crime, and Palestinians commit 100+ War Crimes per day.
That would still not allow Israel to use poison gas killing 80% of the Gaza population.
Israel bombs and has killed 150+ civilians, but only investigation of the conditions
by an independent organisation can determine whether they are war crimes or not.
A rocket attack on the Nuclear Reactor in Dimona, is much severe than missile attacks on cities.
If such an attack causes a core melt, devastating a large surrounding area killing many thousands,
Would there not be arguments for the unthinkable? Who can claim it is not proportional?
Lets hope noone goes there.
