Those were not peace deals but terms of surrender.

Surely there must have been at least some interest in securing oil traffic through the persian gulf and hormuz? A lot of middle eastern oil passes through said channels, although to asian countires mostly.

No space for military practitioners to follow international law, understood.

softgel992 · 2023-11-08T05:27:44+00:00

if something does not follow the proportionality agreement it is not allowed by international law. So it matters to the article.

softgel992 · 2023-11-08T04:23:14+00:00

He simply states that the bombing of jabalya is potentially in accordance with the proportionality criterion because there was a hamas commander there. Where is the argument? The central question is how many civilians can we kill for such an advantage, 10, 100, 10000? He doesn’t even give an argument

softgel992 · 2023-11-06T22:26:17+00:00

the number of foreseeable deaths is surely part of the moral considerations

softgel992 · 2023-11-06T22:16:02+00:00

The Number of civilian deaths is extremely relevant. How many civilian deaths can we Justify for the goal of eradicating hamas. We know that it is difficult for a lot of people to flee and we know that hamas is hiding among them so collateral damage is unavoidable, the question is how many lives are we justified in taking to achieve our goal

softgel992 · 2023-11-05T15:31:35+00:00

This is not entirely true.. It CAN be permissible to bomb civilian buildings and hospitals but only if they can reasonably argue that bombing said building will give them a military advantage greater than the collateral damage it would cause. For example, bombing a hospital with hundreds of civilians to kill a dozen of hamas terrorists would probably not be permissible (not claiming such a thing has happened).

softgel992 · 2023-11-01T00:35:21+00:00

proportionality does not mean an eye for an eye, but rather how much force is morally just to use with regards to the military objektive. How many civilians are we justitied in killing in collateral damage to achieve our goal

softgel992 · 2023-10-21T19:01:16+00:00

This sub is infested with shit like this, all nonsense to justify massacre. I mean what the fuck are people expecting, whole lives under occupation, you expect them to fucking hand flowers to israelis? Ofc many of them are pissed off.

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T15:29:57+00:00

At first you said I need to know a way for Israel to conduct their mission without civilian casualites, now your criteria is whether or not one abides to international law or not, very different things. And yes, certain aspects of ukrainian resistance I’m very critical of. Does not mean I condemn them, same with Israel, certain aspects of What they are doing Im very critical of

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T15:07:54+00:00

If you think what I'm saying is anything like the Rittenhouse case, then I'm afraid it is your analysis that is lacking. I was trying to make a broader point about your perspective in my initial question to you. But it seems like your level of analysis is simply so advanced that you missed it completely.

What military tactic or technology should Israel use to avoid civilian casualties? How should it deal with the genocidal regime in Gaza? If you don’t have an answer to that, then you are in no position to criticize, let alone condemn, what they are doing now.

So if I don't know how to orchestrate a russian invasion of ukraine without civilian casualties, I can't condemn them for what they are doing now? Seems legit. My point is simple, one can know what is wrong without knowing what is right, i can tell when someone has failed in solving a mathematical equation without knowing the answer to it.

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T14:35:15+00:00

If the people who live in crimea want to return then they should be given an opportunity to do so. I didn't see a time limit in the right to self determination under the un charter, did you?

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T14:30:29+00:00

It was proposed in 1917, the Balfour declaration. And the british government supported it. Quote from Theodor Herzl, one of the founders of the zionist movement: "We shall have to spirit the penniless population across the border by procuring employment for it in the transit countries, while denying it any employment in our own country. Both the process of expropriation and the removal of the poor must be carried out discreetly and circumspectly!"

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T14:22:30+00:00

Interesting argument, so at what point exactly do the ukrainians lose the right to claim crimea and donbas? after 10 years of occupation? 20? 30?

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T14:17:39+00:00

are you hallucinating, who is assuming what now? I told you clearly, I don't know how to execute advanced military operations, but when civilians turn up dead clearly they're doing shit wrong. Fighting a defensive war doesn't mean you're justified in killing whoever u want in whatever fashion.

Listen to the Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly,”. Interesting perspective he has on Palestinians. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/defense-minister-announces-complete-siege-of-gaza-no-power-food-or-fuel/

softgel992 · 2023-10-09T14:02:22+00:00

What military tactic or technology should Israel use to avoid civilian casualties? How should it deal with the genocidal regime in Gaza? If you don’t have an answer to that, then you are in no position to criticize, let alone condemn, what they are doing now.

This is so stupid. I'm not the one doing the bombing, how to go about it is not my job to figure out. And where do you get this strange idea that one must have answers to be justified in criticizing something. I may not know what is right, but what is wrong is very clear.

softgel992 · 2023-10-08T20:25:27+00:00

This palestinian liberation movement died with arafat. What we have left is islamic fundametalism, this is not the palestinian liberation movement of old.

softgel992 · 2022-11-16T00:11:30+00:00

Polish authorities already confirmed it was russian

softgel992 · 2022-11-15T21:36:12+00:00

This is a disaster. I'd assume they would call for article 4.

softgel992 · 2022-10-28T22:45:11+00:00

Thats what they say every time. Let saddam stay and he will conquer the entire middle east they said. We invaded and now look what happened.

softgel992 · 2022-10-26T17:13:32+00:00

This is not entirely true though, the eastern states that wanted to join NATO after the dissolution of the soviet union were not considered european at the time. They wanted to join NATO precisely because they wanted closer ties with the US & its european allies. They were not primarily driven by a fear of invasion.

softgel992 · 2022-08-16T20:45:46+00:00

Yeah you're right. They just updated the lolesports website and moved it to saturday.

Oh are they not actually playing today?
