  • Illegal annexation of the west bank ruled by the UN to be illegal under international law.

    Not ruled; advised. ICJ advisories are non-binding. Israel’s annexation of the West Bank, which was ceded to them through negotiated agreement with Jordan, is legal under both Jordanian and Israeli law and no other law applies because no other sovereignty applies.

    The ICJ ruling that the United States “unlawfully” annexed Alaska or Hawaii would have similar import: literally none whatsoever. The simple fact is that borders move and land changes hand and the ICJ doesn’t have the authority to say what’s what.

    We do not live in a pre world war 2 political order anymore

    Israel’s claim to the lands of Judea and Samaria is based on agreements that predate WWII. Israel as a nation is older than several of the countries that make up the European Union, but nobody says that Germany unlawfully “annexed” West Berlin.

    Under international law, a people under occupation by a foreign government have the right to armed resistance

    Rape and murder of children aren’t “resistance”, hope that helps






  • Must be sharing the feelings of average Germans at the end of the war when they had to face up to what they had allowed to go on.

    The ones who hadn’t died in the war, you mean. Or do you also think “German” is a word that can’t mean “soldier”?

    Famine is present in some areas of Gaza and is imminent in other areas. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned more than two months ago, “1.1 million people in Gaza are facing catastrophic hunger

    What does this statement mean? It certainly can’t mean 1.1 million people have been unable to acquire food and eat it, because they have and have continued to.

    This occurred through the imposition of a total siege over Gaza that involved completely closing the three border crossing points, Rafah, Kerem Shalom and Erez, from 8 October 2023 for extended periods

    It is not a crime of war to besiege an enemy city, nor to deny an enemy people access to a nation they wish to attack.

    What’s the source for your claim that 52,000 civilians died in Gaza?
