minus-square@UnknownQuantity@lemm.eelinkfedilink3•8 months agoWhat are the rules of war against a prison camp? We could perhaps consult the Federal Bureau of Prisons manual, but I did not find the word “war” in it. Unfortunately, I don’t read Hebrew, so I came up blank there too.
minus-square@FlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-2•8 months agoNot sure what you’re referring to, but rules of war do not prohibit prison camps.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink0•8 months agoNo, they’re (correctly) saying that Gaza itself is a prison camp.
minus-square@FlowVoid@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•edit-28 months agoMaybe it is, but that’s that doesn’t violate rules of war. The sad fact is that the rules of war permit a lot of awful things, because war is intrinsically awful.
minus-squareNoneOfUrBusinesslinkfedilink1•8 months agoNo no they’re being sarcastic. They’re asking what the rules of war say about going to war with a prison camp.
