In reply to the discussion: UN human rights report on Israel paves way for sanctions, further isolation [View all]Shaktimaan
(5,397 posts)54. In truth...
using weapons of war against civilians is not in and of itself a crime. The criminality of such an action hinges upon intent. If soldiers purposefully targeted civilians without any compelling military need, THEN it constitutes a war crime. Isolated incidents though, do not even come close to meeting the standard of a crime against humanity.
So, in short, no, it does not appear that you know what the definition of a crime against humanity actually is. I find it telling that despite my challenge you did not even bother to Google the term before making up an answer out of thin air. It is unsurprising that you know neither what constitutes a CAH or are able to give a real-life example of one.
