Oscar Hammerstein criticized NRC and wrote that the newspaper, in his opinion, used legal nuances to morally justify a bloodbath. He claimed that the references to occupation, settlers, and Zionists after the designation of the murder of civilians as terrorism created the impression that the victims might have been combatants. According to Hammerstein, this reasoning could present a baby, festival-goer, or raped or kidnapped woman as a military target. He argued that international law protected civilians, even if they were Israeli or Zionist, and even on October 7. #SlachtofferBlaming #InternationaalRecht #BurgersBlevenBurgers (translated)
