“If Blinken and the US administration would have liked this war to be over, this war would be over. Continuing to supply Israel with weapons and to beg Israel to stop the war is quite a farce. This is not international relations, this is a children’s game.” – Gideon Levy, Haaretz

1·9 days agoNo, only Israel has the ability to air strike civilians in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinian resistance doesn’t possess this capability and the victims were clearly unarmed Palestinian civilians. You probably missed where Israeli politicians have openly talked about starving Palestinians and destroying aid to compel them to leave Gaza.

I just learned that flour is highly flammable, so that’s what they were most likely carrying with them.

Nothing justifies genocide but this eliminates one excuse you used to justify a war crime.

Israeli politicians have talked openly about starving Palestinians. So it’s no surprise that they will target aid which they also talked openly about.
I do agree that international law and conventions have proven to be just for show with no real power. But in an ideal world no one would be above the law or have impunity to do as they wish regardless of the laws. We still document Israeli crimes even if they won’t be held accountable any time soon.
You are not stateless living under an illegal military occupation though. The law is specific and clear. Palestinians are denied statehood and are living under a military occupation.
You still didn’t cite any law, you are just making stuff up. Maybe you are willing to submit to a foreign occupation, but there will be those will fight and international law protects that right.
You used “unlawful” certainly you have a law you can cite that says so. Because this is not what international law says. Resistance to an occupying force, including armed resistance, is legal per international law. What law are you citing?
Resolution No. (3103) of 1973 regarding the principles relating to the legal status of fighters who struggle against colonial control, foreign occupation, and racist regimes, not only by granting legitimacy to their work but also by including these fighters by the rules of international law applicable in armed conflicts, such as the 1949 Geneva Conventions on war-wounded and their prisoners, and the protection of civilians. This resolution stated that the struggle of people for their right to self-determination and independence is a legitimate struggle that is fully consistent with the principles of international law and that any attempt to suppress the armed struggle is a violation of the Charter of the United Nations, the Declaration of the Principles of International Law and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and that combatants who commit In captivity they must be treated as prisoners of war by the provisions of the Geneva Convention relating to Prisoners of War.

Israel also has a history of false flag operations using troops who learn Arabic and assimilate into Palestinian communities.
How do we know that they aren’t civilians? They are clearly unarmed, Do you think anyone carrying possibly flammable material is a fair target in a war? It could have been sugar that they were carrying.
If one day the US and China go to war, do you think China would have the right to air strike US citizens given how armed they are? You seem to purposefully neglect that Israel is the invading force here.
I hope a third player balances things out. I don’t care if it is Bombardier, Embraer, Comac or some other company. Just need the Airbus-Boeing duopoly broken.
