But is it a crime?Gaza and the laws of war About 1,000 Palestinians have been killed, among them more than 400 women and children, in nearly three weeks of fighting. But Hugo Slim, author of “Killing Civilians”, a book on the suffering of civilians in war, argues that although every civilian death is a tragedy, “not every civilian death is a crime”. War crimes typically involve deliberate brutality or recklessness. The modern laws of conflict do not seek to ban war, or even to eliminate the killing of civilians; they merely seek to stop the most egregious abuses and to limit harm to civilians as far as possible.
