Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Are you a Holocaust denier or something? I mean that's a pretty stupid list if you are going to come up with war crimes of the west.

Here is a hint: Every culture has committed genocide. Everybody is descended from both slaves and slavers. Nobody is blameless. Welcome to being a human.

No one claims the West is free of guilt in the past.

Oh, and using the broad "West" implies all Western countries are complicit in those war crimes.

They're not

Oh, and the creation of Israel, as much as I may disagree with their policies, is not a war crime, anymore than the creation of Iraq is

If islam is the solution to all of humanity's problems, why isn't it solving any of humanity's problems?  The correlation appears to be going in the other direction, frankly.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Has anyone on this site ever claimed that the West is blameless and has never committed war crimes?

It's called "war" for a reason. My job was to kill people and break things. I did it remarkably well.
