When Israelis Die, International Law Goes Silent

Those yelling “hypocrites!” expose their own hypocrisy.

Even without the help of nuclear weapons, and despite the successful interception of hundreds of rockets and drones, Iran managed to kill 28 Israelis, and damage hundreds of homes and buildings. Over the weekend, news broke that missiles also hit Israeli military bases, although it seems that no strategic damage was done. The majority of the missiles that landed, however, struck civilian targets, including a hospital—in what by all appearances was a deliberate attempt to target civilians. The silence of those who howl with outrage whenever Israel is accused with targeting civilians is deafening.
