War Crimes targeting Israeli civilians is the current catch cry? Israeli Settlers have been targeting Palestinian civilians for years with the help of the IDF. Currently, Israel is performing a Dresden-scale blitzkrieg with a drop in two days of 8000 high explosive bombs dropped randomly on the most densely populated area on the planet filled largely with elderly men, women, and children doesn’t that speak for itself? It screams war crime any which way you look at it.
The events of recent days are unprecedented. The last time units of Jewish and Palestinian fighters — military or paramilitary — went to battle on such a broad front in Israel-Palestine was in 1948. There have, of course, been various battles over the years in Gaza as well as West Bank cities like Jenin, and Israeli and Palestinian units fought one another in Lebanon in 1982. But there is no parallel to the scope of what has taken place here since Saturday morning, and not since 1948 have Palestinian fighters occupied Jewish communities on this scale.
