Agreed. I read the list, and it quickly became apparent it's basically just the same thing as usual from the anti-Israel side of the debate - if you agree that Israel destroying civilian infrastructure in order to get the militants who are hiding there is a war crime, then their entire modus operandi is to commit war crimes. But if you accept that premise and agree with him about that list, there is no realistic method of counter-attack available to Israel that
wouldn't result in war crimes.
At this point the continued conversation in the thread serves no purpose, because everyone is just preaching to their respective choirs and none of the positions anyone is taking are remotely palatable to anyone who doesn't already agree with them.
