Please point me to the international law (I assume you mean the Geneva Convention) that says that you can’t take prisoners.
I said you can’t illegally detain people without charge, not that you can’t take prisoners. A large number of Palestinians are held without charge in Israelz and in the past few weeks that number has sky rocketed with many arbitrary detention.
Ah, I see. Do I have a bit of news for you: Israel and Gaza are at war.
Yes being at “war” is totally the best excuse to commit atrocities and get away with it.
