> Even wars have rules. They don't stop soldiers killing each other

Here are the laws of war most relevant to the current Gaza conflict:

* Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War - https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/...

* Rules of Engagement - https://www.trngcmd.marines.mil/Portals/207/Docs/TBS/B130936...

After reading those it seems there could be a high probability of more than 0 war crimes in the current conflict.

The biggest problem is the current US administration would have no issue with Israel wiping out and seizing Gaza to (yet again!) to illegally expand their borders. By the time the US has adults, or at least empathetic people in charge again, it might be too late.

kgwxd · 4h ago

The last one wasn't empathetic either, even helped pass laws making it illegal to criticize Israel. This admin is far worse but, there is no hope the US will ever be good for Gaza.

JCattheATM · 4h ago

Agreed, the way the last admin handled things was incredibly disappointing.
