You obviously are the one who is not a lawyer.
Go back to section 62 of your evidence act. Don't let me start disgracing you pls. grin
We're discussing International Law and International issues and you're mentioning Nigerian Evidence Act...you don't know what you're talking about?

Wrong from top to bottom.
PNA is the same as PA and is controlled by Fatah and not Hamas as postulated in your argument. PNA just happens to be the official name.
According to the Oslo accord, it controlled that place until 2006 when it lost control to Hamas.
Your accusation of a coup engineered by USA is not factual because Hamas's campaign that won the election was based on an armed resistance against Israel thereby negating the Oslo accords.
Who broke the agreement?
Where did i write Hamas controlled the PNA? I wrote that it was LED by Hamas and Fatah. The PNA before the elections had onboard both Hamas and Fatah, along with all Palestinian factions. The PA today is basically just Fatah

Wikipedia literally states:
"After Hamas won the Palestinian legislative elections on 25 January 2006, Ismail Haniyeh was nominated Prime Minister of the Palestinian National Authority, establishing a Palestinian national unity government with Fatah"

Lemme give you the definition.
International terrorism: Violent, criminal acts committed by individuals and/or groups who are inspired by, or associated with, designated foreign terrorist organizations or nations (state-sponsored).
1. Hamas was a split off from the Egyptian Muslim brotherhood
2. Hamas is sponsored by Iran

Hamas satisfies the definition given above. No more, no less. Hamas is an international terrorist organization.
Are we basing it on facts or your personal opinions, because i don't have time for baseless arguments

Now to your number 4. You said the PA is merely the official representative of the Palestinians and that the PA doesn't exercise authority over Gaza. We shouldn't even argue this cos how would Hamas, who merely won legislative seats in 2006 or was it 2007 oust the PA from power. It is without logic to oust someone from power if they do not exercise authority before. What are you now ousting and from what are you ousting them. If PA was not exercising authority over Gaza, then there would be no reason to oust them since they didn't have that authority before. To Hamas being recognized by most as the defacto government, I don't know what you mean by most. If it is the Palestinians, then we need to talk about legitimacy in government. If the military suddenly seize power in Nigeria and the citizens do not do anything probably out of a lack of will or manpower, it doesn't make them legitimate.
The PALESTINIAN NATIONAL AUTHORITY(PNA) made up of representatives of all Palestinian factions led by Hamas and Fatah and not the Palestinian Authority (PA) which is basically Fatah, ran the Gaza strip before the elections

Hamas' win in the Parliamentary election meant that a new Government was to be formed led by Hamas, the win meant Hamas had become the rulers of Gaza

It was Fatah supported by the US and israel that attempted a coup inorder to prevent Hamas from forming a Government

As for your point number 2, I don't know and I have not seen or heard Cameron, so I will presume he said it.
But let's go back in history.
The areas called Palestine today was biblically known as Judea. It was renamed as Palestine by a Roman emperor named (Hadrian) in order to wipe out every trace of Jewish history.
And no, don't get it wrong, the Palestinians of today are not the biblical Philistines or jebusites or ammonites that the biblical Jews conquered. Those ancient tribes have morphed into other tribes and do not have a distinct identity as of today. Based on the foregoing, i do not see Israel as an occupying power. Some elements are just banking on the ideas of the Jewish anti-zionists who believe they have not reached the primised land. Since when did the opinion of a few become the deciding factor?
I will not make a comment on Cameron statement cos I have not seen or heard him and this, cannot judge the context in which he was speaking.
This belongs in the Religion Section

I can't type very very long things, so I will be posting my replies one by one.
The United States and the whole of the EU recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. This is asides Israel, Canada, Australia etc.
For the purpose of understanding, we can ask: How many countries recognize Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. But we all know that Boko Haram is or was a terrorist organization.
Going by that logic, we can safely say that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
I have a question at this point as lawyer to lawyer (as you claim to be of course grin grin)
Is IPOB a terrorist organization? If yes, how many countries recognize it as such?
If No, tell me how it isn't. I will be back.
There's a difference between Internationally recognised terror groups and groups proscribed by States as terror groups

Internationally recognised terror groups are UN listed terror groups, i.e. groups designated as such by the security council. State proscribed groups are subjective and the legal implications for both definitions vary

In the case of Internationally recognised groups, the world has a duty to destroy the group,but in the case of the latter, it's usually aimed at deterring citizens from actively or otherwise engaging with such groups in whatever form

It may interest you to know that the Qassam brigades, the autonomous armed wing of Hamas, which is the entity leading the fighting against israel in Gaza, isn't considered a terrorist organisation by any of the States you mentioned, so that destroys any claims you have

To understand my point above, only Japan considers Qassam brigades as a terror org, the rest consider Hamas' political wing as the terrorists

Boko haram is a listed UN terror organisation, ipob is a Nigerian thing...i don't know why you brought this up

Gbadebo19:
It should be like this: Rather than tactically abandon an argument you are on the brink of loosing by making it a joke on Mr. Gbadebo, why not tell us if Hamas is the internationally recognized government of Palestine?
Thank you very much. I have been in courts and read legal provisions more than you. I have a better understanding of it more than just the English language sentences you take it to be? Have you ever attended court sittings? Do you know what is called interpretation of statutes.
It really isn't your fault, since Nigeria operates more on "who you know" rather than meritocracy, it is alright for people like you to feel offended and classify superior arguments as derogatory remarks. You can also soothe your sifia pains because your terrorist family members are getting slaughtered in Israel.
Does it even not strike a question in you?
1. Why are other surrounding Islamic nations not taking the so called innocent Palestinian women and children as refugees?
2. How much in aid has Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Russia and China donated to the Palestinian cause?
The day you give a justifiable answer to these questions is the day your redemption begins.
Let's talk lawyer to lawyer(as you claim to be)

1. Apart from the US, israel and very few of their allies, how many Countries in the world officially designate Hamas a terror organisation, for you to term them "Internationally recognised" as such? Hamas isn't even listed by the UN as a terror group and neither by most countries of the world

2. David Cameron, the immediate past UK Foreign Secretary, during a hearing before a committee of the UK Foreign Office acknowledged that Palestine was under Occupation and that israel is an occupying power. Cameron accepted that israel had "the right to defend itself" but not the right to resist occupation inherent in International law and this points to the hypocrisy of the UK's terror designation, because Hamas' resistance as an occupied people is legitimate in International law, hence the hollowness of the designation

3. For cross reference, look up United Nations resolution no. 3103 of 1973, Resolution 2625 of 1970( Protocol I on the Declaration on Friendly Nations, the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions

4. You've argued that the PA is the Internationally recognised Palestinian Government. My response is that the PA is recognised as the official representatives of the Palestinians, Hamas is acknowledged and recognised by most as the defacto Government of Gaza. The PA doesn't exercise authority over Gaza, so that argument is weak

5. The International Criminal Court(ICC), which has jurisdiction over Palestinian territories, has charged israeli decision makers in the ongoing killings with; (1) The deliberate targeting of the civilian population, (2) The use of starvation as a weapon of war among others, over which it seeks their arrest warrants. You claim that International Humanitarian law only applies to Countries and not terrorist groups, but both entities are bound by it, i.e. whether as State or Non-State actors. See Article 1(4) and Article 96(3) of the Additional protocol I, Article 3 and Additional Protocol II, all of the Geneva Conventions and it's Additional Protocols

5. The UN Special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, who's an International Human Rights Lawyer and Specialist, has concluded in her report that israeli actions in both Gaza and the West Bank has reached the threshold of Genocide. She outlined all the elements in her special report: 'The Anatomy of a Genocide Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967'. The Special Rapporteur is an independent expert commissioned by the UN to investigate israel and Palestine

6. The Highest Court in the world, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has found that there's a 'plausible and probable case of genocide' by israel against the Palestinians and has allowed the application go to trial. The same ICJ has in a ruling in July, reiterated that israel is in Occupation of Palestine. From a legal perspective, this gives Palestinians legal justification for all acts of resistance 'in all its forms' , as provided for in International Law

From the points above, your arguments stand on no legal legs. Please If you're to respond, do so as a lawyer by citing legal authorities to back up your claims as i've done

Then send Khamenei daughters to Xi because they need to rebuild every layer of their defense structure and they don't have the money to pay for it.

As a regional power, Iran should know when every jet takes off and lands anywhere in the Levant.
They're so laughably behind it's beyond comical. There is no love lost between me and the mullahs. They should be purged.

The funny thing is that Ahmadinejad and most hardliners were disqualified because the supreme council wanted more moderate candidates to help move away from being confrontational with the West, to more rapprochement

One thing of note is that Ismail Haniyeh was the leader of the Hamas delegation negotiating a ceasefire with israel, so he was making himself visible and available as a diplomat of sorts

Killing him was something of a cheap shot and a move of bad faith

There's no state actor that withstand the IDF in the Middle East region. Take that to the bank.
Israel has crossed ❌ all the RED🔴 LINES.
Hamas is fighting a gorilla warfare, a.k.a hit-and- run tactics. That's why the IDF is annexing more land. You dey win yet you dey lose territory..? Na spiritual islamic winning that's very different from reality grin grin
There's no State actor that can beat the idf along with US backing. The US will intervene in a war that really threatens israel, everyone in the region knows that, including you

Can the idf beat the Turkish army or the Iranian army alone without US or the West's help? Even the Egyptian army is a problem for the idf

There's one redline israel is yet to cross, which is the destruction of AL-Aqsa inorder to build the temple they want to build... they've threatened it but haven't done it

Why are you quick to celebrate the attack in Tehran? Give it time and let's watch the fallout. The reality is that israel's actions are neither in its long term interests, nor of those of it's chief backer America, any person knowledgeable about the region's dynamics knows that. It's pathetic how helpless the US is despite israel endangering its interests in the region, when an undermined US in the Middle East means a vulnerable israel

About Hamas, their hit and run tactics have prevented the idf from having complete control of any part of Gaza almost a year in, which is a complete failure on the part of the idf. The fact that the US has had to restock and replenish the idf with several weapons shipments against only Hamas is shameful

There's still some way to go and a lot to happen, sit back and relax

Iran should do two things:

1. Remove any restrictions to acquiring nuclear weapons

2. Send soldiers and equipment to Lebanon to bolster Hezbullah and position incase of a war

Sending missiles will do little when arab governments, as well as western militaries will actively shoot them down

This gives Iran's government a legitimate causus belli to achieve their goals

As for Haniyeh's assassination, it's another in a long line of assassinations of Hamas leaders and will do little to affect the group's operations, if anything it will make them stronger

Most of the comments i've seen here don't understand the Middle East, nor what's going on... there's even one foolish comment about israel defeating all armies combined, when they're nowhere near disabling Hamas talk more of defeating it

The governments of Ireland, Spain and Norway have been more honourable than most of the governments in the region on this Palestine issue, so i know it's an issue of right and wrong and not just a religious issue

My analysis is premised on the fact that israel's injustices against the Palestinians has been and remains a major source of instability and agitations in the region. That's the case because, one of the links that unites the people of the region with the Palestinians, is their faith, pretending that religion plays absolutely no role, is a lie

The same way a Christian will be incensed with injustice against his kin is the same way it is for muslims. That doesn't mean that only Christians or Muslims should oppose the injustice

I wholeheartedly agree that it isn't a religious war, it's a war against blatant injustice
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by IMEI: 7:49pm On Jul 20, 2024
With the way things keep escalating in the Middle East, a major war is shaping up

The war if it does happen, whether in this round or an upcoming round, will pitch muslims on one side and israel along with their lackeys on the other

The escalation is probably a good thing because muslims will finally wake up, band together and confront their enemies, but not before the end of puppet regimes ruling over them

Before any lowlife yarns dust to me, if you go through history of wars involving muslims, in most of them they were outgunned and outnumbered, but still became victorious in many

When i say muslims, i don't mean hypocritical national armies, i mean muslims driven by their faith

Just a moment ago, this fruitcake was an ambassador of peace, calling people violent.

Israel had thousands of Palestinian hostages including KIDS in their custody before this war.
Thousands more have been taken since this start of this war. Many have been tortured to death. Who should release hostages first?

Dear ambassador of peace, about a hundred Palestinians living in refugee camps have been murdered in the last 24 hours by the IDF for no reason at all. What happened to your advocacy for non-violence?

What a hypocrite!
In honour of the memories of those unjustly being killed, i advice you to not even acknowledge any subhuman along with their comments

The reality of the world is might equals right and those who justify the brutalisation of Palestinians, do so out of one form of bigotry or the other... it's not logically possible to rightly support injustice, so they muddle up facts to cover their prejudice

Palestinians as well as every victim of injustice deserve better from decent humans than indulging degenerates

I've stopped quoting and replying sorry excuses for humans on this thread, you should state your piece and keep it moving
