If anyone other than Israel did this, it would probably have been a war crime. Though, as it is, there is no way of determining whether it constitutes a crime.
0.227 in metric tonnes.
May constitute a war crime?
Fingers crossed. Not sure how many children and innocent civilians you have to intentionally murder for absolutely no reason in 2025 to get charged with a war crime, but it must be a pretty high bar bc...
Everything up till this has been pretty ambiguous. But this one... This is the one that'll make people squint and ask "was that really necessary, now?" Some might even wag a finger.
but the tens of thousands of children before this somehow was not yet a war crime. between countless indiscriminate bombings and literally sniping children in the head. somehow, this is the line. only because the size of the bomb. fuck this world man
That's called a precision strike when committing genocide.
Under international law based on the Geneva conventions, a military force is forbidden to launch attacks that cause “incidental loss of civilian life” that is “excessive or disproportionate” to the military advantage to be gained.
So all of Israel's actions since October 7 are a war crime... or does leveling a city of 2.3 million and killing tens of thousands of civilians, to rescue 100 hostages, sound "proportionate"?
