Like the time the Israeli's killed that medic, or the time they shot dead that journalist, or the time they put a 2 year old on a BBQ. Thankfully they didnt gas the tunnels - that would be a tricky one to defend, bad optic's apparently. I feel that if you can gloss over killing medic's its like going down a slide, pretty soon you can gloss over everything. Its really not hard instead to say: killing medic's, journalists, women and children is wrong, no matter who does it.
It depends. A journalist is not an enemy combatant at all, if a journalist is armed they are not considered a journalist in wartime, you should know this. Im sure Israelis have killed a bunch of medics, some probably combat medics (who can be enemy combatants) and some probably civilian medics (who are not enemy combatants). Putting a 2 year old on a BBQ wouldn't be legal even if the baby was an enemy combatant.
How do you know the people carrying the strecher were all medics? Have you even seen the clip?
You are not arguing against me here, you are arguing about international humanitarian law as set up by Hauge and Geneve. If you don't think a medic with a gun, invading a foreign country is an enemy combatant then that's something you'll have to bring up with the UN, Red Cross, etc, cause I don't make those.
