Major General of the Israeli Reserve Yitzhak Brik: "The number of Hamas members killed by our forces on the ground is much lower than what is reported in the media"

AS we have suspected all along.
They are just senselessly killing palestine civilians

I've heard the phrase "clear violation of international law" atleast 200+ times over the last couple
months, said by people that know what they're talking about. Do international courts have ANY
fukking teeth or authority? :scusthov:

International law has ‘authority’ based upon state actor recognition of international instruments and also state actor incorporation of intl law into domestic law ex. Congress ratifying a treaty.

The International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have some heft, but largely based on the engagement and consent of state actors.

This shyt got my blood boiling! WOW! They’re taunting the world, who else can do this on camera and get away with it??!??
The most arrogant people on the face of the earth. What do you expect when the entire west treats them like kings and queens
and their religion teaches them they are gods chosen people for whom other humans live to worship and serve them

So essentially It's like the US constitution and traditions that Donald trump exposed as weaker than a wet paper towel

Or how the rich and powerful routinely make a mockery of the "criminal justice" system

Only the weak and poor nations suffer the wrath of ICC if/when they step out of line. The powerful nations just treat the UN and ICC like a :mjlol:

Realpolitik political science scholars would agree with your assessment.

As someone once said, “The strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.”

We hope to build a better, just world.

Ain't that a shame. The UN was doomed to fail right from the start when it made provisions for Veto/Yalta formula. ridiculous idea

The UN was meant to preserve the spoils of victory for the United States and its allies. Hence, the lack of permanent security council members from Latin America or Africa….or West Asia.

It’s a miracle that China finds itself on it. This was likely a concession to nationalist China for enduring tens of millions dead fighting the Japanese.
