A good rule of thumb to remember in these situations is who are the "good" guys and who are the "baddies"
For instance, when US bombs a hospital, it is NOT a war crime. DON'T EVEN DARE to call it as such ok. 🤗🤗

If you are naive enough to think that a bombing a "jam-packed refugee camp" was an honest mistake, then I have a bridge to sell you, going very very cheap.
Blowing up buildings and jam-packed refugee camps, knowing fully well that it'll create mass civilian casualties is a war crime. And I'd rather take the word of experts rather than a nobody over this.
Quoting from the article itself
The article quotes a previous article Human Rights Watch: Israeli war crimes apparent in Gaza war
So yeah, brush it off as "Mistakes happen" somewhere else
@wintermute_oregon mistakes don't make it not a war crime bruv
Maybe you weren't paying attention on the part where taking hostages is a war crime.
My original comment never explicitly called out Israel nor Hamas, and for good reason. You're the one that claimed, and I quote, "read the article, there was no war crime". The line I quoted was pulled directly from the article.
I'm sure now you will be correcting your original claim, right?
No, YOU were talking about Israel. My comment was "clearly" as general as I could make it. You replied to MY original comment, the onus is on you to understand the subject of my comment.
Instead of being intellectually honest about your mixup, you're re-defining the goal posts. You challenged me to find a single part in the article that would classify as a war crime and to also provide the exact war crime committed. I did exactly that, as requested.
Just keep moving the goal posts, that's fine. I'm not jumping through any more of your hoops. You've proven yourself as intellectually dishonest. I submitted to one of your challenges, and when I met it you just doubled down. For me, there's no point continuing this discussion after this.
