Bombs on Gaza
A war crime is defined as a violation of the laws of war—treaties that no one seems to observe anymore because, at least since 1940, they have become inapplicable to modern warfare. I would say an exception is the Arab-Israeli wars, but they lasted only a few days, more like blitz operations than full-scale wars.
If we consider the bombings in Gaza to be war crimes, then we must say the same about the bombings in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Houthi rebels, ISIS, and so on. If we consider Hamas terrorists, then by the same logic, Fidel Castro's guerrillas, the Viet Cong, the Afghan mujahideen, and even our own resistance fighters must also be labeled as terrorists, as all of them violated the laws of war by fighting without uniforms that made them recognizable.
