@IlhanMN Curious if Hamas followed the laws?

Jeremy Richard ⚔️2 years ago

Convenient that Hamas can break all the rules but demand that Israel abide by by them.

@IlhanMN These laws are designed to protect civilians and limit the impact of war. It's essential to explore their application in this context.

Let's explore how these laws apply to the Israel-Hamas situation and what they mean for civilians.

Kelly Witt Wright2 years ago

@IlhanMN Yes, especially when the terror group Hamas kills young people at a festival, brings on consequences to people of Gaza and car bombs them for trying to flee. Yes, Hamas cares nothing for the people of Gaza

Israel’s war is against Hamas terrorism, while Hamas’ war is against civilians, including their own. Unlike the terrorist organizations we face, Israel has been and will always be committed to the rule of law & international law. This is our way.

Israel to provide electricity services in Gaza, for use in water desalination and sewage. Under int'l law, Israel is not obliged to provide these services, especially as they can be used by Hamas for military purposes. But is nonetheless doing so for humanitarian reasons.

BREAKING: GRETA THUNBERG FROM THE FLOTILLA: “ISRAEL IS NOT IMMUNE TO INTERNATIONAL LAW” “My name is Greta Thunberg, and I am currently on board the boat Alma, as part of a peaceful humanitarian mission to deliver aid to the civilian population of Gaza and to break Israel's illegal and inhumane siege. It is likely to believe that we will be intercepted tonight by Israel, which would be a blatant violation of humanitarian and maritime law. Israel is not immune to international law. They must be held accountable for their war crimes. Stop the genocide, stop the occupation, and free Palestine.”

Hamas are resistance fighters. I don't give two craps what the US, Israel and UK claim. The right to armed struggle is a guaranteed right under international law, for every single Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese person living under illegal Israeli occupation.

The unparalleled escalation of the hostilities in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel has taken a devastating toll on civilians. More than 9,000 people have been killed by relentless Israeli bombardment of Gaza. At least 1,400 were killed and more than 200 abducted in the horrific attacks in Israel by Hamas and armed groups. With each day that passes more lives are lost and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is getting worse. Sign our petition to call for an immediate #ceasefire by all parties to end civilian bloodshed and ensure humanitarian aid access to Gaza: 📢

Director of IDI's Center for Security and Democracy Dr. Eran Shamir Borer discusses some of the complexities of international humanitarian law and Israel's Gaza aid policies on Kan Radio English.

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: It’s important to remember that Article 2 of the association agreement between the European Union and Israel is about respecting international law and humanitarian law. And clearly, neither in Lebanon, nor in the West Bank, nor in Gaza, is Israel respecting it. And this must lead us to reflection and also to action.
