Sponsored and supported by America. Children are being burned alive from these attacks, and this is going to escalate a lot more now with Lebanon and beyond. Remember the last time America destabilized the Middle East? Remember how many terrorist groups like ISIS were born out of it and the terror attacks they inflicted on western nations? This is a restart to all of that.
Biden is really trying to start a whole new war and make the Democrats lose this election.
The UNIFIL mandate is clear and well known. You can read it for yourself if you actually cared. Hezbollah is not mentioned anywhere on the page funnily enough.
I’m not here to do google searches for you.
No, you’re just here to promote false narratives to misdirect and outright deny the atrocities committed by a terrorist-genocidal state. If you’re going to make a point. You should learn to back it up.
Unless you have tangible evidence of Ukrainians denying vital aid and food to Russians, slaughtering civilians en masses like they’re currently doing in Jabalia, routine executions of journalists to silence the ongoing atrocities, and so much more; this comparison of yours is not valid.
“We need to put the Jews in gas chambers to differentiate between civilians and combatants.”
This guy.
This guy is calling international war crimes as “a valid and legal military strategy”.
Based on what evidence?
So what’s the math here that you’re applying? Given how Netanyahu is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths from this year alone, would you consider it proportional to level Tel Aviv just to kill him? What’s your cut-off for acceptable civilian casualties based on the persons history and role? How many days of headlines should there be of civilians getting massacred, most of which didn’t even have an enemy combatant in the casualty list, before we deem that this excuse can no longer be used by Israel for you? At what point do you consider these attacks disproportionate by a foreign invading army who started an unprovoked war?
One example in the face of hundreds of thousands,or even millions, over decades is not enough to convince me that this due process works. You may as well try to sell me that African-Americans are treated well by cops based on one incident where they convicted a cop of shooting a black kid for no good reason.
A 1:22 target-to-civilian ratio is not proportional. No matter how you rationalize who the target is. This argument is not a valid justification.
I’d guess that there are probably going to be investigations, stuff like murder or rape. I don’t expect that you’re going to have the people here found to have acted inappropriately, though.
How many investigations have you heard of personally? Is the absence of a guilty verdict from a terrorist-state on its own soldiers what’s allowing you to say there are no war crimes going on and America should continue selling weapons?
And in what way do you deem this attack proportional or the civilians killed as collateral? They targeted a Hezbollah politician, NOT a combatant mind you. Missed. And killed 22 and injured 122 civilians. This was in no way shape or form proportional or necessary even had they killed him.
Also, note the next paragraph:
States have an obligation to investigate all allegations of wilful killings or murders of civilians committed by their armed forces or nationals, or committed on their territory. Where there is sufficient evidence of the commission of the offence, States have a duty to prosecute those responsible. A State responsible for such violations must make full reparation for the loss suffered.
Of the 42,000+ murdered civilians in Gaza and the several thousand murdered civilians in Lebanon. How many investigations has the IDF done to follow UN humanitarian law? Or the US for that matter?
Oh sorry. I completely missed that last sentence you added. You’re right. Headline is still correct. Please ignore me lol.
Don’t you feel like it should be changed? People just browsing their feed will be misinformed.
That is incorrect. It is very much illegal.
The “gotcha” is that these weapons are being used to kill civilians. Which is illegal under US and international law.
Does Lemmy allow you to change the headline as well?
But authorities were able to file a last-minute appeal before court had closed, keeping Loffredo in custody.
Wait, so they didn’t end up releasing him? Kind of a misleading headline here.
Also,
Loffredo’s detainment, which drew little attention from Western media,
Just goes to show you how much Western culture emboldens Israel. Any other country, this would have been national headlines.
UN peacekeeping operations are not an enforcement tool. However, they may use force at the tactical level, with the authorization of the Security Council, if acting in self-defence and defence of the mandate.
In certain volatile situations, the Security Council has given UN peacekeeping operations “robust” mandates authorizing them to “use all necessary means” to deter forceful attempts to disrupt the political process, protect civilians under imminent threat of physical attack, and/or assist the national authorities in maintaining law and order.
So what point does this clause get triggered and the UN starts engaging the IDF? Seems like this is a very big violation.
It isn’t. It’s his fault for not containing the situation and allowing Netanyahu to go full throttle on his genocidal campaign.
