Norway’s prime minister says the Israeli army’s response to the deadly Hamas attack that killed 1,400 people and saw over 230 abducted by terrorists has been disproportionate, and denounces a “catastrophic” humanitarian situation in Gaza.

      Disproportionate responses end some conflicts faster because they remove the illusion of a fair fight your enemy might still believe they could win.

      Of course, it makes you look like a psycho, but thats kinda the point.

          A disproportionate response is not necessarily a war crime. That said, you are right that war crimes make war crimes easier!

            People didn’t like this post, but the truth is unpopular. It’s not like I’m encouraging war crimes after all, but you just haven’t been paying attention if you think they don’t make additional war crimes easier.

            War crimes have definitions, though, so lots of terrible things aren’t war crimes… they’re just war.
