There is no such thing as electoral fraud anywhere anytime.... just kidding.... the little bit of fraud didn't change the outcome.
wouldn't that make the Oct 7 events simply an act of war and no different than Russia's numerous actions in Ukraine. Regardless, I think that I will stick with calling them murderers.

That’s not an unreasonable practical understanding. TBH, not sure how the LOAC would treat Hamas and taking/killing of hostages….and of course, breaking the 2005 ceasefire on 7 Oct…
You don’t need to be a legitimate government to be a party to a war crime. Israel/Gaza is a recognized non-international armed conflict, and Hamas is a combatant. Alleging, charging, or prosecuting crimes against humanity or war crimes by a group doesn’t mean they’re recognized as a legitimate governmental entity.
