I'm afraid that I must be at odds with most of the tweeted sentiments expressed in the video. I know of no circumstances that would make defending one's own nation or the citizens thereof from unprovoked attacks to be a "war crime" or "indiscriminate murder" or any of the other opinions expressed. That would make the British defense of the UK during WWII against German attackers to also have been a "war crime", and I am certain it wasn't.
Israel is in the same boat, what with daily unprovoked rocket attacks against it's own territory, just as Britain was done to in WWII by German V-42 rockets. If Israel is guilty of "war crimes" for the offence of defending itself, then so was Britain for doing the same in WWII against Nazi Germany, and I cannot abide by such opinion.
Everyone has a right to self defense against attack, regardless of their skin color or headgear or religious conviction.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
