The right-wing leader appeared on multiple cable news shows to speak on the current state Israel’s monthlong siege on Gaza, which human rights experts have warned amount to ethnic cleansing and war crimes.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk accused both Israel and Hamas of war crimes, and said that the only solution to the violence is to end the Israeli occupation and allow Palestinians the right to self-determination.
Where’s Genova when we need it? Well, we always need it.
Rule #6 of the international humanitarian law:
If you look up the definition of military targets you will see
You can ask pretty much every lawyer that Hamas actually made the hospitals into legitimate targets under the Geneva Conventions. The only party that clearly broke that law without a doubt is Hamas.
I don’t think I’ll convince you, but…
what you quoted only makes the Hamas facility the target. Civilians inside that hospital are not valid targets.
I agree Hamas is to blame. But that doesn’t mean we’ll watch Israel bombard civilians and support Israel for that.
Bye.
Right. So Israel targets the Hamas facility. Sometimes, civilians in the hospital die as a result of attacks targeting the Hamas facility and Hamas individuals. This is what is commonly known as “collateral damage.” It is a tragedy that should be minimized.
Glad we’re in agreement.
