>No state has gone out of their way to avoid civilian casualties to the extent that Israel has.

So, Tel Aviv is not to blame for the famine in Gaza?

And Professor John Mearsheimer is wrong during the 3.5 minutes following this next timestamp when he says that Tel Aviv is currently trying to ethnically cleanse Gaza, meaning they're trying to make Gazans flee Gaza by making it untenable for them to stay?

> If the ICC existed during WWII, their illogic would lead them to put out arrest warrants for Roosevelt, Churchill, Marshal, Eisenhower, and all the other allied leaders

It’s tacitly accepted that the Allies committed war crimes to defeat the Nazis.


Right, because we were once able to properly judge / refrain from judgement. Most importantly we knew that not all sides are equal.

Roof knocking is when they drop a small bomb on the roof to notify the occupants that it's time to leave. What other countries go to such lengths?


It's hardly unprecedented; the Allies did it in WWII.

That doesn't say anything about roof-knocking (impossible at the time) but yes, it's not new to notify civilians to get out of dodge.
