Yuyutsu,
Valid points !

Even in times of war - there are laws.

The Red Cross in the link given below tells us that:

"Everyone fighting a war needs to respect International
Humanitarian Law. Both government forces and non-state
armed groups."

We're told that - "there are consequences if the rules of
war are broken. That war crimes are documented and
investigated by states and international courts."

"Individuals can be prosecuted for war crimes."

In short the rules of war mean :

You don't torture people.
You don't attack civilians.
You protect those who are not fighting - such as
civilians, women and children, medical personnel,
and aid workers.
And, you treat detainees humanely.

cont'd ...

We're told that International Humanitarian Law (IHL)
is a set of international laws that set out what can and
cannot be done during an armed conflict.

The main purpose of its rules is to maintain some humanity
in armed conflicts, saving lives and reducing suffering.

To do that International Humanitarian Law regulates how
wars are fought, balancing two aspects,
to weaken the enemy and to limit the suffering.

The rules of war are universal.

The Geneva Convention (the core element of International
Humanitarian Law) has been ratified by 196 countries.

Very few international treaties have this level of support.

The following link explains how the International
Humanitarian Law applies in Israel and Gaza:

Rather than waste time on the absurdity of some wackjob “court” whose demands, and very existence, are being laughed at and ignored, posters who are not anti-Semites might like to read this article by an Israeli woman and author.
