Sure, but be accurate and consistent with your comments and views.
You can't declare war on a people you are occupying by military force, that's international law and the Geneva Conventions.
I am consistent. Israel cannot declare war on a people - Palestinian civilians. They have and that is a war crime and genocide. But they can declare war on Hamas, which is a militant/terrorist group.
But that's not 'death squads', which are government groups that assassinate people for political goals.
A death squad is defined as an "
armed group whose primary activity is carrying out extrajudicial killings or forced disappearances as part of political repression, genocide, ethnic cleansing, or revolutionary terror".
Per this definition, Hamas fighters were death squads.

On the other hand, IDF killing Hamas, is not extrajudicial. IDF is engaged in war with Hamas, and therefore Hamas are enemy combatants. The due process rules do not apply against the party you are in war with.
What Israel did was to target people for assassinations instead of arresting and trying them for crimes.
They targeted Hamas. Apparently. Are they civilians or are they Hamas? If they are Hamas, it is a legitimate kill.
Its also a war crime to attack civilian targets like hospitals, even if you have a legit military target the risks to civilians outweigh international support so you would need to prove in court you weren't committing a war crime as its assumed.
That would be true, if they were storming the hospital, or throwing a bomb. A silenced revolver, sneaking in and killing just the terrorists, will not count as a war crime. The military action was proportionate to the benefits gained - which is the neutralization of 3 terrorists, with no collateral damage, or extensive property damage, other than a few 100 bucks worth of damage to clean up and replace mattresses.
I know you supported Modi's assassinations in Canada and the US, but I also know you can't provide a single country where this has been a good long term solution to problems.
I support assassinating terrorists, yes. But a good long term solution here is either a 1 or a 2 state solution. That is something Israel needs to take steps for. But I dont think this assassination will have much of an effect on the peace process one way or another, given 27K are dead in Gaza, which I think is the bigger issue, and a bigger hindrance to peace. This one was okay, the one in Gaza, not.
