No, a lot of the accusations were not baseless; you’re using a different definition.

The accusations of them deliberately shooting children in the head and targeting journalists have been proven unfortunately accurate time and time again.

We must be precise in our language when describing war crimes. No wiggle room.



You're asking for certitude when there can never be certitude.

Just as an example, if a Hamas soldier dons a PRESS vest, is he automatically immune?


I’m not sure if the logic on that statement checks out - there are already proven cases of what I’m describing (affirming the consequent here maybe?).

In other words, so what if Hamas dons a press vest? We know the IDF have committed war crimes. They seem aware of it, too -
