240+ innocent souls, babies, elderly women, disabled & ill held underground in Gaza. What distinction has Hamas showed when they violated little girls and burned babies? What proportionality can be shown? What the hell are you talking about? Do your job, release the hostages!

H lemberg2 years ago

Bla bla bla Have you visited the 240 Kidnapped by Hamas already???? #BringThemHome #BringThemBackHomeNow #HamasTerrorist #HamasisISIS

Serendipity2 years ago

About those hostages? You staff were inside Al-Shifa with Hamas for weeks whilst you said nothing other than vilify IDF. 5 weeks associating with Hamas, and nothing regarding the hostages 👀

Interlocuteur2 years ago

I'm happy to say @Israel, @IDF, and @MOSSADil not only comply w humanitarian law, but far exceed it. You as a biased organization against #Israel will never acknowledge this fact. But you'll promote terrorists #Hamas' plight, tho self created. YOU actually enable conflict now.

Gilad Sofer2 years ago

At least 2 Israeli hostages were already killed in captivity because of your lack of action. You are an utter disgrace.

Sailing Fella 🇪🇺🇩🇪🏳️‍🌈✊🏻🇺🇦🇬🇪🇬🇱🇹🇼2 years ago

In every actual conflict you are a useless org, because the bad actors don't give a shit about rules anymore. You can spout out nice little explanatory vids till judgement day, it's not gonna work. You just aim it at those who are defending and thus endangering their efforts. 👿

Steven Podvoll2 years ago

Proportion? Proportional response would grant license for Israelis to not only murder and kidnap innocent civilians, but to torture and rape them, too. Is that what you're advocating for?

Nik VLGM🎗️2 years ago

Corruption. Jew-hatred. Imbecility. Not giving a damn for either Israeli or Gazan lives. 4 reasons for supporting Hamas. Call for a ceasefire is supporting terrorists: giving Hamas time to reorganize and commit other pogroms as they claimed, and go on using their human shields.

After World War II, the world made a promise: even in war, there are limits we must never cross. That promise became the Geneva Conventions, a universal commitment to protect civilians, the wounded, prisoners of war and humanitarian workers, among others. Today, with over 130 armed conflicts worldwide, twice as many as 15 years ago, these rules are under immense pressure. Over 110 countries have joined the Global Initiative on international humanitarian law to strengthen commitment to the rules that limit suffering in war. The Geneva Conventions do not protect the powerful. They protect people caught in war. And upholding them is the responsibility of every country on Earth.

In this video, it's clear that when APF demands Abiy Ahmed and his government face the ICC, it's because they're violating laws that protect humanity. Shooting an unarmed person not posing a threat goes against international law. 🌍 Under international law, military use of deadly force against civilians is governed by principles like proportionality and distinction. Key laws and treaties include the Geneva Conventions, ICCPR, Rome Statute, and customary law. These rules aim to safeguard civilians during conflicts and hold violators accountable. 🕊️⚖️ #InternationalLaw #ProtectCivilians #AmharaGenocide

Greece’s attempt to unilaterally extend its territorial waters to 12 nautical miles constitutes a clear abuse of rights under international law. In the unique geographical context of the Aegean, such an act would violate the principles of equity, proportionality, and good faith..

In this time of grave crisis, Westminster must speak with one voice. Against terror. In support of Israel’s right to self-defence. For the dignity of all human life. For humanitarian access to those suffering in Gaza. And to uphold the rule of international law.
