Yes 100% the law is law they are breaking the law,
-
I feel pain, unable to do anything. And the world couldn’t be able to do anything. The sad thing is that it is supported by the west that claims to be the champion of democracy and human rights.
-
Media keeps addressing symptoms and not the root of the pain and problem.
-
Since 1947
-
There are no rules in war. War is war.

I don't understand Isalm's logic. When they broke the rules of war, no one talk about it and then suddenly they became a victims, then they keeps saying follow the rules of the war. Same thing: Many islamic countries, close down Christian churches to renovate to mosque but when Christian countries do, they says it is religious persecution.
-
These two guys should agree to a world wide legal campaign to state their claims to the land and whomever loses should be compelled to accept the verdict. These war they wage at every turn of a year is wearing the world down, affecting commerce, anxiety...the world needs peace.
-
Maybe someone should tell Hamas the rules of war, too.
-
I think it’s safe to assume that in this conflict only one side will be anywhere close to playing by the rules of war.
-
Hope people all love peace and can enjoy peace , enjoy family stay together.
-
What about hamas beheading civilians?
-
they follow their own rules, which is, nobody else matters.
-
I think that the fact that there is only one side of this conflict that people are even bothering to talk to about "rules of war" with any hope that they would listen tells you all you need to know about this conflict...
-
Rules? What rules? When the chips are down, such regulations are tossed out of the window.
-
So The Palestinians have the right to deffend them selves using force also ... Who is invading the other ?
-
When the blockade is mentioned everyone conveniently forgets that Egypt does the same on their portion of the border.
-
Name a war that did not break international law. 🤔
-
Yes, they are. But so is Hamas.
-
Why is the Chinese 🇨🇳 regime backing Hamas organization and committing Muslim Uyghur genocide at the same time?
-
They have not followed international law for decades. Why would they start now?
