    My point was that war crimes committed by insurgents doesn’t invalidate war crimes committed by a corrupt right-wing strongman and his fascist thugs.

    I have a bunker under my apartment building in Sweden. In some rougher neighborhoods, these bunkers are used by gangs to store ak47s. It’s tough to take Israel’s word that every airstrike on a home or a hospital has blown up a “hamas command center”, especially considering that many of these airstrikes have been ordered by an AI.

      Most of their justification is for sure bullshit, especially knowing how AI routinely “hallucinates” things (Firsthand, as I worked with MS/OpenAI AI for some POC projects).
      Their uses of AI isn’t to “better target terrorist”, it is to anesthetize their humanity, the same way a execution peleton ammunition are mostly blank, so none of them know who really killed the prisoner. And see the result. Tens of thousands of women and children killed, and no end of hostility in sight.
      This is no war, this is blind vengeance, and those in power in Israel as well as in Teheran keep fueling it in hope to stabilize their power.
