University of Southern California, Harvard University, University of Texas at Austin and Columbia University all had student riots on Wednesday, as anti-Israel hostility on college campuses grows.
I asked you to define the laws of warfare, and you link to the Wikipedia page about collective punishment. I quoted the definition from Wikipedia. This fits that definition. I’m operating by your own rules.
@wintermute_oregon well…motivation can be tough to deduce, I can see why some people might look at #Israel sideways. But, the #IDF is largely not doing anything outside the normal scope of war.

That definition doesn’t fit the scenario.
Let’s see you articulate exactly how this is collective punishment.

You are trying to redefine the situation.
The situation is simple: Hamas declared war on Israel, and Israel is fighting Hamsas. They are not punishing anyone but fighting a war.
Israel’s motivation isn’t to punish anyone. It is to stop Hamas. Punishment has to happen for it to be punishment.

People who have not trained for war or been in war, often don’t get how shitty war is.
Now after this is all done, I do think the US needs to pressure Israel into dealing with the issue.
I am not going to pretend I know what the solution is but we can’t have these wars every few years.
My concern is no solution will appease all sides.
