Orphaned references in Hamas war crimes

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Hamas war crimes's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "baed":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT 06:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Possible OR at "Second Intifada"

[edit]

There is a table of Hamas bombings at "Second Intifada". Is there a source for every entry alleging it to be a war crime? If not, the unsourced entries should be removed. VR (Please ping on reply) 20:36, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It’s well established and cited in the article that the general targeting of civilians (particularly in the use of suicide attacks) and use of indiscriminate attacks are widely regarded to be war crimes.
The general criteria is already established by sources above on the page - each individual instance that fall under those established parameters does not need further attribution. Mistamystery (talk) 20:44, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically:
Human Rights Watch has declared that the "scale and systematic nature" of Hamas' targeting of Israeli civilians "meet the definition of a crime against humanity", and that its particular use of suicide bombings taking "place in the context of violence that amounts to armed conflict...are also war crimes."[1]
and
According to Amnesty International, "the campaign of suicide bombings and deliberate attacks against Israeli civilians by Hamas and other armed groups constitutes crimes against humanity.[2] Mistamystery (talk) 20:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accused

[edit]

Use of the word "accused" ignores the fact that Hamas admits to and is proud of most, if not all of its crimes. 174.67.226.163 (talk) 04:45, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
