I see. I apologize. I guess I lost that context while scrolling. I agree people shouldn't get complacent by just pointing to some authority that on their own won't change things.
So you're just... pointing out facts about international law in the thread about protesters trying to break a siege--what, for fun? I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish.
Obviously various authorities and people are in disagreement over what is right/legal for the people of Gaza. That's not something we're confused about. We just by and large side with the people of Gaza.
Anyway, we all process differently, so I'm not trying to imply that you have ill intent. But that's why people are reacting negatively to your comment. Obviously ANY authority that sides with the people of Gaza is going to be one we side with, even if US/Canada/Israel/etc does not recognise them.
Don't get me wrong - I am super sentimental, and can really get lost going down memory lane. I spend probably most of my mental life living in the past. But yeah, I guess the stuff I do preserve (99% text) just doesn't take up much room at all.
But no, I'm not getting into that fight with you, because it's an argument without heart meant only to sap the will of people to oppose a very real and concerted genocide.
What do you propose to stop the genocide instead of morally defensible illegal acts?
Do you see how these two are not equivalent though? One is an aggressive campaign exterminate a people, that can be stopped if just slightly more political will is mustered.
Already, the tide is turning and you have even mainstream voices yapping at Israel to cease.
