          Oh no, not casualties! In a war?!? Whatever will we do!

          War crimes of expediency are still war crimes. Just ask the Nazis we hung at Nuremberg for their occupation tactics.

        But there has to be a limit, I’m not saying Israel is right but if I write the word hospital on a tank and drive it into battle then that hospital is going to get bombed, it’s possible that they’ll wait until I’ve fired a shot if I’m fighting an especially restrained army.

        So since there obviously is a line so we need to think about where it is in a realistic and sensible sense.
