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.

          The first gulf was so effective it saved countless Iraqi lives. Presenting airpower so goddamn unfair thousands just ran into the desert rather than stay and get killed. It really is as fast and humane as it can be, as long as the execution is perfect

              He didn’t really have nothing to do with the execution of the attack, gen Schwartzkopf or however the fuck his name is written was in charge of that. I mean I know you’re memeing but I’d just like to make that point. Really interesting guy too check out his memoirs.

          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.
