    Um, you’re wrong, it’s known as Perfidy and is a violation of Protocol 1 Article 37 of the Geneva Convention

    1. It is prohibited to kill, injure or capture an adversary by resort to perfidy. Acts inviting the confidence of an adversary to lead him to believe that he is entitled to, or is obliged to accord, protection under the rules of international law applicable in armed conflict, with intent to betray that confidence, shall constitute perfidy. The following acts are examples of perfidy:

    (a) The feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender;

    (b) The feigning of an incapacitation by wounds or sickness;

    © The feigning of civilian, non-combatant status; and

    (d) The feigning of protected status by the use of signs, emblems or uniforms of the United Nations or of neutral or other States not Parties to the conflict.

        This response is the equivalent of a child saying nuh uh and walking off. Also, no one said that it did excuse the war crimes committed by the IDF. The problem I have is that you’re clearly misrepresenting Hamas as innocent.

          You want me to elaborate about how false what you’re saying is? Walking off rather than continuing to waste my time and effort on the likes of you sounds tempting, though.

          Also, no one said that it did excuse the war crimes committed by the IDF

          That’s not true. You heavily implied as much and the other apartheid defender flat out said so.

          The problem I have is that you’re clearly misrepresenting Hamas as innocent.

          I’m doing no such thing. I’m always clear about the fact that Hamas are heinous terrorists guilty of atrocities.

          That doesn’t justify any of IDF’s atrocities like you’re pretending that you’re not implying, though.
