All available evidence shows that Israel has followed the laws of war, legal obligations, best practices in civilian harm mitigation and still found a way to reduce civilian casualties.

Not OP but will bring up the point that while I agree, a number of actions are currently before the courts on proportionality, individual actions and justification of broader actions where evidence is yet to be provided. Thinking blocking of aid convoys where supplies are being taken by Hamas, multiple UN resolutions on justification of conflict but also been attacked, damage on civilian structures which Hamas has illegally garrisoned. With evidence these actions can be justified, but they are still being investigated (as they should).
I unfortunately also fully believe there are a number of Israeli combatants that have absolutely committed war crimes, but also Hamas has committed crimes against humanity. One does not justify the other and I believe people of both sides should be tried accordingly.
Agreed that anyone committing war crimes needs to face justice. The problem is that many seem to be very loose about their definitions of war crimes but only when applied to Israel, which is actually taking extraordinary measures to reduce civilian harm, as this article details.

You’re joking, right?
Did you read the article? Plenty of examples there, with citations.
@DarkGamer
I read the opinion piece. The UN 🇺🇳 released a report yesterday called “The Anatomy of A Genocide,” the ICJ’s preliminary findings is that Israel is likely committing genocide. The IDF raped a woman in Al Shifa for two days until she could not speak, in front of her family. American propaganda is stunning.
A report by Francesca Albanese, UN special rapporteur, which means she is independent of the UN. She was authorized by HRC item 7 which was not approved by the UN itself, and is controversial. More info here.

You are miscategorizing their ruling, they said there was enough of a possibility for an investigation, nothing about it being likely. Were that the case they would have ordered a ceasefire.
Congratulations, you’ve fallen for Hamas propaganda.
Regarding the Hamas propaganda one I would still take this with a grain of salt.
Jerusalem post is a known supporter of Israel (no shit) and while there will be facts used the conclusions drawn will be biased - same as MEE or democracynow but other side
Not saying its wrong, only consider it.
@DarkGamer oh dear, you’re too far gone
I’m afraid you’re projecting, given that every claim I’ve made is supported by credible citations that I took the time to provide for you. You clearly didn’t read any of them before replying.
Facts are facts and opinions are opinions. The number of deaths, civilian deaths, in this conflict is going out of any chart of any conflict in the last 30 years.
Even if we try to focus in something like child under 8 years (that any reasonable person will agree that they are not linked in a terrorist group) this number is still terrorific high under any modern standard.
Are they carrying doctors? I can not negate neither confirmate. But a doctor embedded in a unit can not hide this level of death into innocent children.
And before you reply. No, no and no. Under no circumstances without a total broken moral compass is acceptable to kill kids under 8 years. They are not responsible for this and they didn’t choose to be there.
It just simply a monstruocity
