In war, mistakes are made.
There are also times in war that armies commit human rights violations and atrocities.
All of this must be investigated impartially. Human rights violations and war crimes must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, although there is rarely an impartial authority with the power to enforce the Geneva convention and the appropriate rules of war and engagement.
Many countries in the west, east and elsewhere have committed or still are committing war crimes.
No one demands that the United States, other western or nonwestern nations have their civilian populations wiped out and ethnically cleansed because of war crimes these nations may have committed.
The difference between Israel and other countries at war is that accusations against Israel are used to promote the goal of Israel's enemies to slaughter Israel's majority population, over 7 million men, women, children and babies.
The goal of Israel's enemies is the complete destruction of Israel and the genocide of its people.
Accusations against Israel must stop being used as the excuse to ignore, defend, deny, deflect or justify Hamas atrocities, which includes Hamas deliberate murdering, kidnapping, sexually abusing, mutilating defenseless civilians, including babies and children, such as what it did on Oct 7, which started a senseless war.
Israel and all nations of the world must be held accountable for the conduct of their armies. All nations must be criticized and held responsible if their military commits war crimes and human rights violations.
But the goal to destroy Israel is a completely different matter. That is a genocidal goal that no sane, decent person should support.
