Hamas has condemned the United States’ air strikes on Yemen’s Ras Issa oil port in Al-Hudaydah province, which killed 38 Yemenis and injured dozens, describing the attack as a war crime and a violation of Yemeni sovereignty, Anadolu reported.

Very few organizations stand on shakier moral ground when it comes to accusing others of war crimes.
The one organization actually enforcing international law re:blockading a genocidal regime? That organization? Are you just doing the liberal thing where (designated enemy) points out something that’s true, and you reflexively go “pfft, rich coming from them, who I just assume are worse”?
Genuinely, tell me what war crimes you think theve committed, then tell me why you think that lowers their credibility to below the level of the fascist death machine that they’re fighting against. Because it sounds to me like they stand on more solid moral ground than any one of us who hasn’t launched rockets at fascists and weathered American bombs to help Palestine.
Ah yes, Hamas has no authority to comment on war crimes when they are the ones fighting against war crimes more so than nearly anyone else in the entire world. What a joke…
Hamas has more moral authority of anything they care to say than anything you have ever said in your lifetime.
The irony is that those self-proclaimed moral organizations have been complicit in the war crimes, so they are deciding to slay silent.
Opinionhaver should keep his opinions to himself
Why? You want people you disagree with to stay silent?
yes. shut up zionist
Name one war crime Hamas actually committed, no hasbara. I’ll wait.
Targeting Israeli civilian population with unguided rockets for decades.
UN charter says you’re allowed to do that to settlers actually
You’re misrepresenting international law pretty severely here. The UN Charter does support the right of peoples to self-determination, and yes, that principle has been reaffirmed in various General Assembly resolutions, especially in the context of decolonization and occupation. But nowhere in the Charter - or in any binding international legal document - does it say it’s lawful to target civilians, including settlers, with indiscriminate weapons.
That claim usually stems from a misreading of UN General Assembly resolutions which acknowledged the right of occupied peoples to resist. But even those non-binding resolutions do not override the Geneva Conventions, which are binding and universally recognized. The Geneva Conventions make it crystal clear that civilians are protected from attack at all times, regardless of their location, nationality, or political status.
Launching unguided rockets into civilian areas is a textbook example of an indiscriminate attack, and it’s a war crime under international humanitarian law. The right to resist occupation doesn’t mean you get to ignore the rules of war.
Settlers are not civilians.
You’re moving the goalposts. I was clearly talking about civilians inside Israel’s 1948 borders - people Hamas has indiscriminately targeted for years, including with rockets and the October 7th massacre. Shifting the focus to “settlers” is a red herring.
Even then, the claim that settlers aren’t civilians is legally false. Under international law, civilians are anyone not directly participating in hostilities. That includes settlers, however one feels about the legality of the settlements. Civilian protections don’t vanish based on where someone lives.
Targeting civilians - whether in Tel Aviv or an outpost - is a war crime. The right to resist doesn’t override the laws of war. Trying to justify indiscriminate violence by redefining who counts as a civilian isn’t just wrong - it’s morally bankrupt.
When what they have to say is such a waste of air then yes, that would be great
A quick glance at your incredibly toxic comment history suggests you might want to take your own advice on that one. My opinions might not always be popular, but at least I’m not just making noise or being rude to complete strangers.
