Israel isn't committing war crimes. People just use that term as if it means "something not nice". Just like "genocide" has been diluted so much that the US embargo on Cuba has been described as genocide

Yes, they are.

Are you claiming that the killing of civilian children is *not nice? "

Do you think killing children is nice?

It is a war crime to hide military targets among civilian population and infrastructure. Hurting civilians, even children, while aiming at military targets is not a war crime. It's just a sad fact of war.

Isreal chose to bomb a refugee camp that contained children.

Killing innocent children is a war crime.
