Israel has committed numerous war crimes over the past 2 years, especially against civilians in Palestine and Lebanon. The evidence is strong, extensive, readily available, and undeniable. The UN defines the following as war crimes:
- Murder
- Torture
- Pillage
- Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population, humanitarian aid workers, religious and educational buildings and hospitals
- The use of illegal weapons, such as chemical weapons or cluster munitions
Here is just a small fraction of the evidence of Israeli war crimes, from a wide variety of reputable sources that are easily accessible online:
