Did Middle East device attack violate international law? Advocates want an investigation
There is zero logical reason to treat Russia and Israel differently.
politics has never been logical.
The article on the post links to another one, https://apnews.com/article/israel-gaza-palestinians-court-ceasefire-01d093d21a1eadaa31af5708cf1cbf38
From that,
Hmm, but what does it mean to halt a military offensive without having a cease-fire?
While I don't understand that bit, this part here I do.
I think in general we do need to have these international courts examining these situations and making rulings about it. It provides necessary justification to individual countries to back Palestine and condemn Israel, especially while Oct 7 remains unforgotten and unsolved.
You're wrong. There's one reason (whether it's logical or not, I'm not discussing it):
The US supports one but not the other one.
Edit: Seeing the downvotes, the message might have been misunderstood: what I'm saying is that if we're treating them differently it is only because the US supports Israel so Netanyahu the nazi gets a free pass.
idk if it matters, but there is the nuance that russia and Ukraine were friends once and russia backstabbed them, while palestine and israel never were friends and it's a smoldering conflict with 80 years of atrocities on both sides, that now escalated into this new dimension of a shitshow.
People of all religions used to coexist in the area before the Brits declared they were in charge and segregation was a good idea.
The both sides argument ignores the difference in scale. Palestinian atrocities are on the scale or killing a family or blowing up a bus, while Israeli atrocities are more on the massacring a village or blowing up a 100 member family to oblivion level.
There remains one important difference - Oct 7
And somehow Israel gets military aid in the exact same US bill that allocated Ukraine's aid and nobody's head exploded: no politician, no mainstream journalists...
Politics under the guise of religious differences?
Hamas isn't a territory. Gaza is. Israel is invading Gaza.
I don't think it broke international law, well, outside of the civilian casualties.
But... It should have. We need something so you can't do stupid crap like this without some authorization, ie the UN has to sanction it somehow.
Which basically makes it impossible in most cases, but it should be.
Are the UN and the ICJ saying so in this case?
Here's one reason for you to digest: hamas refuses to recognize Israel as a country and would rather Israel be totally destroyed than recognize it in some way to have peace.
You can't say Ukraine refuses to recognize russia as a country and it is a fact that Ukraine would stop fighting the moment all russians fuck off back to russia. Can you say hamas will stop fighting even if Israel finallt took its grubby hands off the West Bank and Gaza? hah, no.
There is also the other reason that russia is doing both the brutality of Israel and the unrestrained suicidal fanaticism of hamas on Ukraine. You can bothsides Israel-hamas to some extent, not Ukraine.
They say they accept the premise of the two state solution. You using the same logic of fear used to justify maintaining apartheid in south africa. People used to say if it's abolished black would take revenge on white people
Is Israel recognising Palestine as a country?
I mean... I'd like to use as a counterpoint that Israel claimed to support a state of Palestine, basically right up until the British left.
Then suddenly things got a lot more 'Eretz Yisrael'.
I don't doubt that Hamas might say they're fine with the existence of Israel so long as they have no alternative, and their idea of Israel is probably different than Israel's current borders, just like Bibi and his assholes have been trying to mumble noncommittal noises while they tried to bulldozer their way to the Jordan.
Post 7th Oct I refuse to recognise Israel as a country. It’s clearly a terrorist state hellbent on the genocide of the Palestinians.
It needs to go.
