Just in case anyone is not aware: This slogan is referring to collective punishment, which is a war crime. She is advocating for war crimes, shamelessly, in front of the populace.
War crimes against the people in her own country
War crimes only apply to war. For example, the use of chemical weapons is a war crime, but their use against your own population is apparently fine and dandy.
True, but I think that the point stands. Advocating for something that is a war crime, even while not at war, should be treated very seriously.
Of course it should be treated very seriously. It won't, but it should. The government threatening the people is literally what the 2nd amendment is about.
Fine and dandy
crimes against humanity
Sparkling crimes
Many things which would be war crimes if carried out by soldiers are legal if done by law enforcement against the people they're supposed to defend
Then they are crimes against humanity
Yeah, looks like I didn’t fully finish the thought in my head 😅 The seriousness of this situation cannot be overstated. It goes without saying that since taking office, the regime started their campaign of terror without hesitation, and have stepped it up by the day.
I want to clarify something that others aren't. Yes, things that would be war crimes aren't if not used in war, but this doesn't give a reason. A lot of them are to prevent mistakes in war, not because it's evil. For example, you aren't allowes to use chemicals that are often used on civilians, but it isn't because they're particularly harmful. It's because you don't know what they are until latter, so if you see it you may respond with your own chemical weapons, which may be harmful. This is just one example, but a lot of the time "war crimes" are there to prevent escalation, not because of how harmful they are. (Obviously some are because of the harm though.)
I tried to find a definition that would explain that and failed. Can you provide some source for that claim? What you refer to does seem to be a violation of warfare laws but not war crime, which is a violation of humanitarian law
