Huh. Well that came out of nowhere. Wonder why people all over the world have the impression Israelis might be committing war crimes.
I got the impression it was a question they asked all of their visitors, I guess some just have a guilty conscience.
It’s clear in the article that they’re asking guests with specific nationalities that the hotel has identified as being high-risk for having committed war crimes (Israel and Russia, among others).
Than that’s even better. Thanks for giving it a proper read.
It is a bit of a daft question. If an individual are wanted for alleged war crimes this is a matter for immigration. Otherwise asking somebody if they have commited war crimes is just an opinion. Nobody is going to answer yes.
The tourist stated that no Israeli soldier has ever committed war crimes. I imagine that some soldiers from every country in the world with a decent sized army has had someone committing a war crime. Aren’t there military prisons for this reason?
I’m British and know for certain our army has committed war crimes. I’ve protested the government for their military plans, and sent several letters to my MP. I’m definitely not going around defending every thing the government does.
The complete lack of awareness and certainty they’re in the right is really strange to me. Fair play to this hotel owner for doing this - highlighting that people in the rest of the world sees this country in the same light as Russia should open some eyes. If that happened to me it would make me think hard about what we are supporting.
That feels like a rather tactless choice of phrasing in the headline, given that there are people literally under fire by Israel right now.
