Re: EXPLAINER – What war crimes laws apply to the Israel-Palestinian conflict?

Hamas is a criminal organization which is responsible for the death of thousands of Gazan civilians and thousands of Gazan terrorists.

This morning while watching the news I saw a New York newspaper article titled “Gazans Escape Gaza to Egypt” showing a man crawling ostensibly to escape. Why not walk out through Rafa? Because Hamas and Egypt won’t allow it. Hamas has shot people trying to leave as “traitors”. I can only conclude that the few who do escape are doing so through the commercial tunnels.

Hamas preventing its own people is a triple war crime. If Gazans choose to leave a dangerous war zone it is their choice and it is duty of Hamas to allow it. The deny the inalienable right to leave one’s country, deny the safety of their own civilians and use them as hostages to protect their belligerent assets.
