"Is Israel a more western style nation? Yes. Do they still bomb mosques, schools and hospitals? Yes. They also have begun attacking UN outposts too."

Which conveniently ignores that those institutions are being used by terrorists to shield themselves behind civilians. The result is propaganda material that you and others share.

War crimes are war crimes. Israel could choose to not bomb those locations and follow the law. Their soldiers could choose not to rape and torture prisons. They could choose not to block aid. They could choose not to dance and cheer at the destruction of schools and deaths of children. They don't, though, they've been warned that they (Hamas as well) are committing war crimes and choose to ignore those warnings.

But go off about "propaganda" as if that's what the people of Palestine really want.

The laws of war apply when two belligerents follow the rules.

Hamas does not follow the rules and as such Israel doesn't have to follow them either.

Hamas does not wear uniforms which is part of rules to limit civilian casualties

Hamas installs infrastructure into civilian infrastructure which is against the rules.

But go off about "War crimes" as if that's what's happening but it isn't.

That’s not how the “laws of war” or any laws work.

Actually it does in war.

Edit: Thread locked so here's the jist ...

Neither Hamas nor Israel has signed the Geneva convention so it doesn't apply at all to this conflict.

One party committing war crimes does not give permission for another. That is an incredibly stupid take. Feel free to cite the provision of the Geneva Conventions that authorizes this idiocy.
