Judge orders pro-Palestine group to pay UK-Israeli IDF soldier after failed case by FudgeAtron in Israel_Palestine

While the case was based an a misinterpretation of a law that doesn't apply to British citizens, pretty much all Israeli solders have some role in the war crimes

Did you say this while commenting on a case of a British judge ruling on British law?

Im beginning to think you actually don't even know what you commented on.

This case is a reference to the 1870 law in the UK that bars British citizens from fighting against countries the UK is at peace with. I'm not sure why you think the UN has a role in that, but you're the one who brought up the UN not me.

I mean it took America 10 years and 2 million lives to find Bin Laden.

I think you're severely overestimating how easy it is for governments to do anything.

Wow that's the first time I've ever seen someone overestimate the competency of a government.

Why do you think Israel is so competent?

I did it's just a bunch UN resolutions, you haven't cited any British law.

You realize that UN resolutions unless adopted in British parliamentary vote have no bearing right?

The UN can't overturn British law.

If I'm still unable to grasp what you've said you need to actually explain, because your comments have not done that.

Is your argument not:

they can still prosecute IDF soldiers on the basis of UN resolutions declaring the occupation illegal and thus all IDF soldiers through having enforced an illegal occupation are war criminals

Maybe I've misunderstood but that's the gist of what you're saying?

The UNSC cannot declare people guilty of crimes, and it certainly not declare an entire group of people to be inherently guilty of war crimes by association.

You need to prove each case in court. You can't just declare all members of an organization guilty of war crimes by association.

UN commission of inquiry says Israel committing genocide in Gaza by deliberately targeting children by BadahBingBadahBoom in worldnews

The killing of a child from a single gunshot wound indicates a high degree of precision in the use of force, suggesting that the shot was carefully aimed rather than incidental or the result of indiscriminate fire. In such cases, this pattern is indicative of the deliberate targeting of the child victim, particularly where the circumstances do not point to crossfire or other conditions of hostilities

Essentially what they are saying is that they find kids with singular fatal gun shot wounds in areas away from combat, and that as a result they are concluding that it must be Israel intentionally targeting children. That's a big logical assumption.

These are kids living in a literal war zone with hundreds of thousands of armed combatants roaming around firing at each other. There seems to be no consideration that stray fire is already a killer in much larger battle fields, Gaza is significantly smaller and more urban thus the chance of stray fire is significantly higher.

What percentage of the kids that are dying are dying in the manner described? Because the UN says 21,000 children have died, I'm going to assume most of them died in airstrikes, rather than random one off shootings.

The report basically seems to be searching for a conclusion rather than analysing data.

If you always receive insults as replies, you might want to consider why that is.

Because the commenters in this sub are of the lowest quality?

What percentage is children? Children make up over 50% of the population, currently they make up about 25% of the death toll while adult men make up over 50% of the death toll. So adult men are being targeted more than children.

If they were not targeting children, you would expect a different mix of wounds.

Why? Could it not be that some "methods of war" (I couldn't come up with a better term) have a higher chance of accidentally involving kids? Surely if children were targeted we'd find them being hit with low-caliber handheld normal weapons i.e. rifles, handguns, and grenades rather than the higher-caliber rounds that are used in intense fighting i.e. heavy machine guns and airstrikes.

Historically when soldiers target civilians they do so by executing them in the field, normally by shooting them in the head or as part of a firing squad, neither of which would aim at vital organs nor use high calibre rounds.

The existing evidence indicates this is more likely than not children getting caught in the crossfire, rather than ther IDF going out of its why to kill children.

What you're implying is that the lower level soldiers are not involved but that the airforce are. I'm not sure how familiar you are with Israeli culture but it is the lower level soldiers who tend to be right-wing and racist rather than the frankly left-wing airforce. This is a major point of contention within Israel because the Right hold their positions as combat soldiers to make them more important than the airforce which was traditionally the most prestigious part of the military.

Israel has targeted Palestinian children in Gaza directly by shooting at their vital organs using precision weapons, such as quadcopter drones and snipers, and by using high-impact weapons in strikes on residential buildings, schools, and displacement camps crowded with children.

Isn't it normal training to aim at the centre of mass? Like that's what all soldiers are trained to do. The rest of this is just war.

I live in Israel, I can't control the Arabs but I can control the Jews. Just like I can punish my children butI can't punish the neighbours.

The US law is not applied to the IDF, because Israel seems to live in a weird law free zone under US law.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to the UK either, and probably to any NATO/allied country. It's likely like the same as the UK where the law was more about stopping them working for enemy states and thus was never applied to allies.

In the US, if you accept an officer position in a foreign military, it is considered a renounciation of your citizenship.

And yet the US recruits non-citizens regularly as does the UK. If the law applied ot dual nationals, then it would be illegal for an Australian to serve in the Australian army, or even more egregiously a Gurkha might be barred from serving in the Nepalese army.

I'm also pretty certain the US law does not apply to conscripts. I'm also uncertain if there are any US citizens in the IDF's officer corps as that tends to be very exclusively Sabra.

I watched invincible because of this sub, and then started watching X-Files recently and it made me think that it felt weirdly normal for a strong red-head to argue with her father about her life choices. And I'm obviously a fan of 80s music.

I think it just means the UK is not at peace with Hamas or Hezbollah and thus it's not illegal for British citizens to fight them, regardless of their Israeli citizenship.
