    Doing it while they are actively commiting a genocide is tantamount to a war crime. No one should care about technicalities in a situation like war. These are real people, children, losing their lives.

      Criminal law is based on precise definitions. You might consider Blinken to be immoral but he isn’t a war criminal.
