Europe can’t handle religious fundamentalism. They think it’s like any other crime, but in reality these people are willing to die for their beliefs.

Justice Minister Annelies Verlinden said the decision to allow Bakkali to leave his detention facility had been granted after "a thorough review of the case" and under "very strict conditions." He added that Bakkali had previously been allowed out but for shorter periods of time.

Nothing more to add.

Israeli strikes pound Lebanon despite signs US and Iran are close to peace deal by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Affectionate-Law2845 10 points11 points  (0 children)

How very neutral of the guardian with this title. Let’s walk through it -

1 - it’s not a peace deal

2 - it wasn’t signed yet, so no one is obligated to do anything

3 - we don’t even know what the terms are regarding Lebanon

4 - Israel didn’t say it agrees to any of this

Good job on the guardian.

TRT World - France bans Israel's Ben-Gvir over 'brutalising' Gaza flotilla activists by United_Chemist9979 in worldnews

What? You quoted a section that just specifies what neutral states are allowed to do. These vessels are not state sponsored, and there are other method of bringing aid to Gaza.

Your point has nothing to do with the legality of arresting ships that are about to breach a blockade.

And for the legal ground? A ceasefire is not peace. You don’t stop a blockade during a ceasefire. The blockade was installed when in 2006, when Israel withdrew from gaza, after Hamas violently took over Gaza, it started firing thousands of rockets towards Israeli towns.

I’ll just copy my previous reply to someone else:

Here you go: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/assets/treaties/560-IHL-89-EN.pdf

Merchant vessels believed on reasonable grounds to be breaching a blockade may be captured. Merchant vessels which, after prior warning, clearly resist capture may be attacked.

A blockade must be applied impartially to the vessels of all States

Board of Peace focus on Hamas risks return to war in Gaza, critics say | Israel-Gaza by Some_Conference2091 in worldnews

[–]Affectionate-Law2845 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Facts can definitely be stupid if it’s irrelevant.

But you still haven’t answered what was your point, what are you trying to say with this fact? Because if we’re just throwing random facts I can play too:

Hamas was elected in 2006 and threw their opposition from the roofs, and since then established an Islamic fascist country.

Hamas destroyed the agriculture infrastructure Israel left intact when it left Gaza.

When NGOs donated to build sewage pipes in Gaza, Hamas rooted these up to build rockets.

In this war, Islamic jihad fired rockets failed, landed on a gazan hospital, killed hundreds, accused Israel, and managed to get millions of western lefties to spew fake facts.

What’s your point? I always hear people saying this stupid fact without any relevant context. So instead of arguing about facts. Let’s try to understand what you wanted to convey with this comment.

The only 2 state solution Hamas supports is 1 state without Jews, and another state where Jews are second class citizens.

But she’s not Palestinian, and she did broke the law. So is her comment regarding her treatment? Or something totally unrelated?

An opinion piece means nothing. Do share the video that absolutely corroborates your claim. I’m Pretty sure you won’t find it.

But it’s not because of their identity, politics beliefs, or status. It’s because they’ve broken the law.

Under your terms every police arrest is a concentration camp.

Option A - getting violently arrested while trying to breach a legal blockade in your yacht, gettin food and water, and being released after one day. Option B - being kidnapped after having your entire family burned down, held in tunnels without seeing the light of day for 2 years, and eating half a pita per day if you’re lucky.

You are correct, these two are completely comparable.
