    I don’t think you can just call things you don’t like a ‘war crime’

      The disguising of a military weapons in the form of common civilian used equipment to trick your opponent is a war crime.

      It was a war crime in 2008 when a bomb was disguised as a spare tire in an SUV used to kill the head of Hezbollah’s international operations, whether we agree the target needed to be taken out or not. A drone strike would be “lawful” a car bomb is not.

      A cell phone is common civilian equipment. This isn’t “whatever I think.”
