>Top pic is a war crime because you cant hold civilians accountable for their government starting a war, and you have no right to bomb civilians just because it will help you win the war.
>Bottom is not a war crime because civilians are held accountable for their government starting a war and you have the right to bomb civilians just because it will help you win the war.
Can someone explain this?

Maybe standards are allowed to evolve in 80 years
Especially with the development of precision weapons that have the potential to greatly minimize civilian casualties
10% of your army dying to typhoid was normal in 1810 but it would be embarassing if your army did that now

>One is the intentional shooting of civilians during a cease fire/peace time,
There was no ceasefire.
The government of Gaza attacked Israel
Israel declared war
Israel began indiscriminate bombing across Gaza because it was strategically feasible.
This, while most of the world called it a genocide because it was actively targeting civillians.
>the other indiscriminate bombing of a war economy.
Bombing civilians isnt "war economy".
The entire bombing campaign was literally designed to target civilians, to maximize civilian casualties. Not to destroy factories.
It's actually insane how, based on the logic of morals, one is justifed but the other isnt, yet people cant see this hypocracy, probably because ww2 had a near-religious mythos to it in peoples mind. They know it's illogical but they've been programmed not to question it.

That's not the point.
The point is how we in 2026 see it.
And for some reason, even to the people in 2026, one is a war crime but the other isnt?
One bombing targeting civilians in order to destroy the enemy government
The other bombing ABSOLUTELY targeted civilians in order to destroy the government.

All based on your feelings not facts. Precision bombing during ww2 wasn't nearly as accurate as it is today
