For context what he said was:
Apparently condemning war crimes is enough to lose your job these days.
yeah but right now a lot of people yelling war crimes and want Israel condemned for them before they even declared as warcrimes...
just look at the hospital incident and how quick everybody was with hate, insults and condemnation after the Hamas reported about it.
not every collateral damage is a war crime, although it's always a tragedy. But please also don't forget that storing military equipment near hospitals or using civilian facilities as place of operation for military activities could (!) also be a war crime itself.
Collective punishment is a war crime.
Amnesty International says Israel is committing collective punishment in Gaza.
Israel is committing collective punishment in West Bank, too.
