The European Union on Sunday condemned Hamas for using "hospitals and civilians as human shields" in Gaza, while also urging Israel to show "maximum restraint" to protect civilians.
But there has to be a limit, I’m not saying Israel is right but if I write the word hospital on a tank and drive it into battle then that hospital is going to get bombed, it’s possible that they’ll wait until I’ve fired a shot if I’m fighting an especially restrained army.
So since there obviously is a line so we need to think about where it is in a realistic and sensible sense.
5 AKs is absolutely not enough reason to shell a hospital. That’s fucking ridiculous.

Arbitrary? Are you insane?

here’s a non-arbitrary limit: don’t bomb fucking hospitals.

Oh no, not casualties! In a war?!? Whatever will we do!
War crimes of expediency are still war crimes. Just ask the Nazis we hung at Nuremberg for their occupation tactics.
