    War crimes literally aren’t real.

    Saying something is a “war crime” essentially means “and they got away with it.” Just look at what’s happening in Ukraine.

      A war crime is literally a crime that happens during a war.

      Crime occurs in normal day to day life too. Both of these things are terrible.

      What’s important is those who do the crimes (whether in war or otherwise) face justice. Generally Israel prosecutes soldiers that commit crimes. I find it doubtful Palestinians will prosecute Yahya Sinwar for his war crimes.
