The Guardian May 23, 2025 International humanitarian law, or the laws of war, do not apply to the gunman in Washington. That law is meant for governments and organized military forces.
By all appearances the gunman was acting on his own. But the principles of international humanitarian law can help us to assess this crime.
A basic premise of that law is that war crimes by one side never justify war crimes by the other. The duty to comply with international humanitarian law is absolute, not reciprocal.
That same law mandates that civilians are never legitimate targets unless they take a direct part in hostilities.
The two victims in Washington were doing no such thing. 1. Lischinsky, was reported to be a research assistant in the political department at the Israeli embassy. 2. Milgrim organized trips to Israel. Neither activity is remotely military in nature.
These two young adults would be utterly inappropriate targets even in war, and needless to say, there is no war in Washington.
