    Israel argues the ICC has no jurisdiction in the conflict because Palestine is not an independent sovereign state.

    That means Israel is arguing that it is bombing its own citizen civilians, as Palestine is a vassal state of theirs, not a sovereign. That’s a hell of an admission.

    Nope, only Israel is killing journalists, bombing their homes and killing their families, and innocent civilians too.

    Two men destroy a 7/11. The police throw both in jail. Nobody cares if they were fighting and double daring each other to destroy more 7/11 which will get them in trouble. Both are committing crimes.

    We need more of these balanced accusations.

      Yes, because a targeted strike at clearly marked journalists on foreign soil is basically a stray bullet anyway.

    Wearing civilian clothing as combatants and using civilian infrastructure for military purposes is a deliberate war crime that makes both legitimate targets.
