Literally the first thing the US does in any engagement is cut the power.
It’s not a war crime lol
With certain limitations, parts of a country’s electrical grid can be considered legitimate targets if they are used to power military facilities. This is true even if the targets have a civilian as well as a military purpose, so long as destroying the object would “offer a definite military advantage”
Israeli authorities’ cutting off electricity to Gaza and other punitive measures against Gaza’s civilian population would amount to unlawful collective punishment, which is a war crime, said the Human Rights Watch on 9 October.
The original conversation was “the collective punishment Israel is engaging in isn’t a war crime”, you’ve moved the goalposts and I’m not interested in continuing this game.
I haven’t moved the goalposts at all. I’ve responded to your “points.” It’s not “collective punishment” when they have every reason to believe they will be fighting door to door in the next few days. Cutting the power is the first move any advancing army would make.
It’s standard military procedure. Sorry the evil Jews aren’t the monsters you think they are.
As if the US gives a single fuck about war crimes. If we did, at least 5 people from George W. Bush’s administration would be rotting in prison right now.

Human Rights Watch is an activist group with no authority.
You are free to agree or disagree with them. Clearly I disagree here, but I do agree with their condemnation of the Palestinian attacks.
I don’t care about your opinion I care about the facts. Israel is very openly doing war crimes.
That is not a fact. That is an opinion.
Cool story bud. We done here?

So Israel is providing power to civilians in the area? No they’re not. Fuck you’re apartheid apologia

Yes, it’s still a war crime when we do it.
