The British 100% engaged in war crimes during WWII, including the bombing of the city of Dresden.
Can we agree that those war crimes (while wrong and regrettable) don’t mean the British were in the wrong in fighting WWII?
I suppose so. Still, Britain could have fought fair, on the battle fronts, after evacuating civilians. They weren’t wrong for fighting WWII in the first place; they were wrong for how they went about it.
One point I saw elsewhere in this thread is that Western military support makes it such that if Hamas were to create actual military posts to fight a fair fight like I was imagining, then Israel would just bomb those places and that would be that. No more armed struggle by Palestinian forces because there would be no more Palestinian forces. So the only way for them to have a chance is to fight dirty, hiding among civilians and such.
With exactly the same argument (Hiroshima/Dresden) Israel could flatten Gaza because „war“
