News US says it's ‘reasonable to assess’ that Israel violated international humanitarian law using American weapons

[Sanjeev]

The Biden administration declared on Friday that it is "justifiable to assess" that Israel's use of American weaponry in Gaza is "not consistent" and violates international humanitarian law, meaning that Israel's actions are clearly wrong by international standards.

By international standards their actions might be wrong, but the issue here is that Israel does not see themselves taking any wrong action.

I think this is the way they can eliminate terrorism. They are tired of tolerating this terrorism for so long. Maybe once they demolish Hamas, there will be peace, and there will be bomb attacks in Israel. Palestine has always caused problems for them.

In war innocents die, that is the nature of armed conflicts. The American administration is being hypocritical. Have they forgotten how many Iraqi women and children they killed? Let's not even talk about Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Worst of all are the German public pointing the finger after what they did to the Jews in WW2.

They forget history. America has the habit of pointing fingers at others; it is not concerned about what he did in the past. I am in favor of Israel because these innocent people supported Hamas, and they used to appreciate their terrorist activities, but now they are paying the price for them.

The question is: can the US beat their chest and claim that they have not done that before? Let he who has not sin be the first to cast the stone.
