If we put the perpetuators in charge of defining, what constitutes as a crime and what doesn’t, there would be no crime anywhere and never.
If a nations military or other organized fighters are conducting operations the terms and rules for war crimes should apply and the perpetuators and organizers should be held responsible. That goes for Hamas fighters and leaders as well as IDF soldiers and leaders.
Yes, thats probably how it should be, but thats not how it actually is. Hence why the US doesnt sign conventions on war crimes either. and why we dont talk about terrorist groups like Al Queda as being war criminals.
