    It’s worth giving the article a read. It compares US attacks in Iraq with Israel in Gaza, and draws comparison with the “human shield” excuse that both have been using to dismiss civilian casualties. It also goes into the US’ weak interpretation of the Geneva convention and how Israeli lawyers are basically saying “they got away with it, so should we!”

    The article doesn’t say it was the US’ fault, it says that the US paved the way.

        I mean I was hoping you’d take the time to read the article and broaden your understanding, because it’s fairly apparent that you haven’t yet.

        I don’t know why you’re getting flak for this. It doesn’t matter “who started it”. Everyone should just stop. Committing war crimes should be an easy thing to stop doing

          I think the commentor is implying “who cares who"s fault it is, just stop the war in Gaza.”
