An investigation into whether Israel violated international law? I wonder who will veto that?
US can only veto security council resolutions. ICC doesn't need UNSC to investigate.
Same result - UN won't take military action, but ICC can still proceed.
Israel ignored an order from the U.N.’s top court to halt its military offensive in southern Gaza after South Africa accused Israel of genocide. Russia, too, has ignored the court’s call for it to end its invasion of Ukraine.
There is zero logical reason to treat Russia and Israel differently.
politics has never been logical.
Do you believe Putin when he says ukraine is committing geoncide against Russians in the donbas?
if not, then I'm not sure why you would believe hamas when they claim that israel is committing genocide against palestinians in gaza.
There is zero logical reason to treat Russia and Palestine differently.
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.
Jews did not have equal rights in the Jerusalem Sanjak until the Ottoman Reform Edict of 1856.
Before that you had things like the 1847 ethnic cleansing of Jews in Jerusalem, or the 1834 looting of Safed.
Should have had a flag...
The Brits? Try the Third Crusade.
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.
You understand that's only from lack of resources? It's not from lack of trying?
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.
Politics under the guise of religious differences?
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.
Well Hamas is no Ukraine but sure
Hamas isn't a territory. Gaza is. Israel is invading Gaza.
I mean… if it didn’t, we’re probably gonna need at least one new international law.
What I'm saying, it clearly doesn't look like it should be OK.
Oh, no disagreement there

If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
