Reminder: it's a war crime to bombard targets in/near built-up areas where civilian casualties are likely (UN EWIPA, 2022), as is deliberately targetting non-combatants (UN Security Council Resolution 1265, 1999) or civilian infrastructure (UN Security Council Resolution 2573, 2021).
In war, these rules apply as much to the victims of invasion (e.g. Ukraine, Palestine) as to the invaders (Russia, Israel). "Whataboutism" is irrelevant. It's not an "accident" when you blow up a hospital or a playground near your target; it's murder.

I ❤️ 😻 I also ❤️ anime/mangas The philosophy of my life is: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law." "Wo Unrecht zu Recht wird […]" „Für den Triumph des Bösen reicht es, wenn die Guten nichts tun!“ Im Übrigen möchte ich anmerken, dass die AFD keine Alternative ist, sondern eine Schande und eine Katastrophe. 🙏 #nobots #nobridge #scheinkünstler (eigenes Genre) 🔞
