Heidi Matthews, a law professor at York University in Toronto, specializing in international criminal law and laws of war, calls for an investigation into the elimination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel.

In a statement published on Twitter, Matthews wrote: ''A wounded fighter attempting an escape is not hors de combat; this is why Israel claims Sinwar was killed while trying to escape. While he was wounded in a first attack & fled to the building in which he died, the video shows him seated when he was killed."

''The physician who conducted Sinwar's autopsy confirmed the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, not tank fire as the IDF later claimed. He was shot in the head after being seriously wounded in an apparent 'double tap.'"

She added: ''Of course, it may be difficult to determine when a combatant is so severely injured that he cannot take part in combat. However, judgment must be made, as there is no permission to carry out an execution of a combatant to ensure he is dead.''

According to her, "Based on the facts we have, Sinwar was able to throw a stick at the drone that documented his final moments. The drone footage grimly summarizes the asymmetry of the entire 'conflict' between Israel and Palestine, with the stick representing the common tool of resistance of stone throwing."

Since she wants to be pedantic and argue technicalities, the drone footage shows him conducting combat by viciously throwing his weapon at the drone lol.

Poor Heidi can't get to sleep at nights because she's always worried about wetting the bed.

“Assistant” professor of law. And cares nothing that this guy oversaw the brutal murder of 1,400 Jewish men, women, and children just minding their own business one day. She might even give him a medal. She would make a good Nazi death camp guard.

I don’t see a problem. Last I looked the Hamas types did not sign onto the Hauge Convention or any other ‘western’ Rules of War.

In this, the battle is biblical in nature - or kill or be killed.

Yaya lost. Get over it.

Curious if she called for crimes of those from Oct 7th?

So this is what happened to the brave Swiss maiden who coaxed the rich girl out of her wheelchair and got her grandfather to return to the Church! She became a Canadian professor. Oh, the humanity.

These simps are still under the misguided impression there is such a thing as “civilized” warfare. There isn’t. After 76 years of constant attacks and constant efforts at stopping Israel from victory, it appears Bibi and Israel have finally decided to do what’s necessary to end the terror.

Stone throwing, eh Heidi? How about beheadings, murder-rapes, and burning babies alive in ovens? You know, just some of the atrocities committed by your jihadi bedfellows on 10/7.

A wounded fighter attempting an escape is not hors de combat

"hors de combat" is a legal term for "out of the fight". She admits that he was not out of the fight. He could have made some gesture of surrender, instead he threw a stick out the drone. He could have been booby trapped. The troops in contact with him had EVERY RIGHT to avoid any unnecessary risk to their own lives. A bullet to the head insures that he will no longer be able to initiate any further hostile actions.

Mossad should dress Heidi Matthews in an IDF uniform and dump her off in Gaza with a cell phone.

Her Hammie pals will upload the ensuing "hilarity" to the Internet for her.
