International Law is a political cudgel. Not actually intended to help or benefit anyone. Just be helpful talking points to justify doing or not doing shit.
That’s the point I was making. International Law is a smoke and mirrors charade that lip service is paid to but is otherwise ignored by everyone unless it’s convenient.
IE needing to justify a Military intervention. Or hammer political opponents whether domestically or internationally.
I see it in the arguments here as well. People arguing about international bodies trying to take over via international laws none of them voted for.
But then in the next breath. Demanding political opposition be tried for various offenses under slightly different international laws than the laws they were decrying. So that begs the question then. Is international law tyrannical? Or just the ones that you don’t find convenient?
In summary. International Law is ignored unless convenient
This doesn't say just to Hamas, though. This says to all of Gaza. Innocent families are going without in order to draw out or punish one group and I've heard many of Palestinian say "Hamas does not speak for us."
That's the same logic as someone over there saying "They voted Biden in, let them all (families, children, babies) starve. Let them be eradicated" knowing damn well we did not vote him in and he DAMN well doesn't speak for us or even for himself
Yea, this one has been cooking my long life. There will be no peace. Let them have at it.
Palestine voted Hamas in. Elections have consequences I've been told. I don't know?
It really looks like we armed both sides of this one.USA
Bad, bad look
Sherman and Grant used theft-fare against the South in the war of Northern aggression. Then against Native American plains Indians, good-bye buffalo herds.
The ones with guns eat first.
The US needs to stop sending them any money --- both sides.
We need to stop sending money to anyone and everyone.
... and you wonder how these politicians get so rich.
No, I know exactly the many crooked ways that happens

Well, flaunting international law in this case has a cost of innocent lives.
If international law was followed, there would not have been any settlements for Hamas to attack.

Well, so is slaughtering non combatants at a rave.
So... your response would be to be exactly like the people whom we're supposed to hate for being so evil?
Interesting logic.
This. I can't believe there are hamas supporting idiots on here. They need to be culled.
War is dirty. How many international laws did Hamas break?
This doesn't say just to Hamas, though. This says to all of Gaza. Innocent families are going without in order to draw out or punish one group and I've heard many of Palestinian say "Hamas does not speak for us."
Unfortunately the only solution is to believe that THEY DO SPEAK FOR ALL OF THEM. And eradicate it all and start fresh. Not a problem to me

Thanks EU Karen. Theyre worried about the law now?
as if international law is actually a thing
Israel broke international law? Well that’s a first.
Just wait till they start with the napalm.
Sherman and Grant used theft-fare against the South in the war of Northern aggression. Then against Native American plains Indians, good-bye buffalo herds. The ones with guns eat first.
Next it will be against international law to deny arms and ammunition to your enemy. After all, everything must be fair.
