BolaAThubv:Saudi Sheikh? For every Saudi Sheikh that supports this view, I'll show you several who think otherwise who even knows this one? |
For historians, Palestine has existed for more than 3000 years; the modern State of Palestine for a century, according to jurists – with recognised borders, its own judicial system, Palestinian passports, stamps and currency. A State of Palestine that made international agreements with surrounding countries, including the mandatory power, the United Kingdom. So, the current war does not start on Saturday, 7 October, 2023. Palestine has been at war since 1948. And it resembles an active volcano that rumbles every day, with suffering and anger. Sometimes with explosions. The eruption we are witnessing today is the most powerful since 1948. The Palestinian people are not demanding anything: they are demanding the restoration of their sovereign rights to their land. The current eruption is the consequence of this initial violation of the law. Yet, for Western governments, it is the Palestinian people who have become the culprit. Legal action, through the interplay of principles, makes it possible to re-establish reality. We have to go back to the origin of the conflict, to 1917, with the Western desire to create a settlement in the Middle East to control the Arab peoples by the means of using Zionist policies. Israel is the occupying military power in Gaza, despite its withdrawal from the Territory, as it imposes total control. According to customary law, Israel owes protection to the occupied population. However, not only does it fail to protect it, but it has been attacking it with blockades, bombings and now a total siege since 9 October, 2023. Israeli political decisions of detaining Palestinian Resistance fighters are presented as “judgments”, which gives the appearance of regularity. However, these are prisoners of war, whom Israel does not have the right to judge, in accordance with the 3rd Geneva Convention. Even from the point of view of the 4th Convention, the “judgments” are illegal: trials held outside the Palestinian Territory, proceedings that do not respect fair trial. Also, the detained Palestinians are political hostages of Israel. And there are no “Hamas hostages”, on the one hand, and “Palestinian prisoners of Israel”, on the other. According to the International Criminal Court, the only international tribunal empowered to deal with war crimes, Palestine is a State. In fact, the State of Palestine sits in the Assembly of States Parties to the ICC, on an equal footing with the other 122 States. Thus, the Western powers that deny the reality of the State of Palestine are at odds with themselves. Hamas affirmed its agreement with international law and its willingness to cooperate with the ICC. On the other hand, Israel rejects international law, and refuses any cooperation with the ICC. It is Hamas that is in tune with the law, and Israel that denies the law. The crimes being committed are the consequence of this denial of the law. The ICC statute defines a long list of offences, none of which refers to terrorism, as this word has always been used to discredit political opponents (De Gaulle, Mandela …). Also, Hamas, which has recognized the ICC and wants to cooperate, rejects this accusation of “terrorism”, which is a political and media concept, but not a legal one. Hamas has never been on the UN’s list of terrorist organisations. The acts committed by the Palestinian attackers on the current territory of Israel will be judged by Israel and the Western powers (procedure already opened in France). Israel will not agree to hand over its cases to the ICC. The ICC has jurisdiction because of the Palestinian nationality of the combatants, but it will apply the principle of subsidiarity: it intervenes only in the absence of proceedings conducted by national judges. Also, the line must be: 1) to challenge future Israeli judgments, since Israel refuses to apply international law; 2) to request an investigation by the ICC, as Israeli domestic law ignores international law. Hamas is waiting for the justice system to pronounce itself, but in a fair procedure and, therefore, before the ICC. When Israel initiates proceedings before its courts, the ICC Prosecutor will have to be asked to open the same investigation, demonstrating that the Israeli proceedings are serious violations of humanitarian law (Statute, Art. 8, 2, a, 6) and, thus, filing a complaint against the Israeli judges. It will be an indictment of the Israeli justice system. The possibility of a trial against resistance fighters at the ICC is unlikely, except for minor aspects. Indeed, Israel will never agree to defer to the ICC, which would force it to accept the ICC’s judgment of 5 February, 2021 that recognised the State of Palestine. Also, the Resistance must multiply its references to the ICC … even if it remains inactive. Before the ICC, the framework of the defence would be self-defence. The Statute provides for a broad version with Article 31 d, which legitimises the commission of war crimes if it is the only way to ensure the protection of the people. So there is a lot of room for manoeuvre. Israel does not want to withdraw from the Occupied Palestinian Territories, including Jerusalem, and its solution is one single State. Israel does not want to accept the equality of Arab citizens, because that means the end of the Jewish State, and the only way out is the apartheid State. Therefore, complaints must be considered against European leaders, who are assisting in this policy, as complicit in the crime of international apartheid. All European States have ratified the ICC Statute. As soon as the time is right, it will be necessary to submit the complaint for the annexation of Jerusalem because, given the importance of the stakes, the clarity of the applicable law and the evidence, the Prosecutor, Karim Khan, will not be able to sit for seven years (the end of his mandate) without doing anything. The investigation into the ongoing crimes (indiscriminate bombings, total siege, forced displacement of the population) all fall under the jurisdiction of the ICC, but the Prosecutor will probably highlight the complexity of the case, the mass of facts, to delay the procedure. Hence, the essential interest is having the complaint for the annexation of Jerusalem judged. The credibility of the Court, which is watched by the whole world, is at stake, and it is a tribute to the Resistance that has mobilised to protect Jerusalem https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231019-hamas-terrorist-what-the-law-says/ |
Let’s say it again: The BIGGEST fake news comes from the establishment media. When the stakes are high, it barely bothers to hide its role as mouthpiece for Western propaganda. This is another Iraqi WMD moment. We are being gaslit. Believe your eyes and ears, and the laws of physics, not the lies being peddled by our leaders and media about last night’s missile strike on the Baptist hospital in Gaza: 1. No Palestinian group has a rocket that can hit a hospital, killing hundreds. What they have are glorified fireworks that can cause minor damage and the occasional death or two. If Hamas or Islamic Jihad could cause the kind of damage that happened last night, you would hear about it happening in Tel Aviv or Ashkelon too. You don’t, because they can’t. 2. Israel’s apologists (and there are lots of them) are sharing all sorts of videos unrelated to the hospital strike. But the video of the strike itself shows that an incredibly large and powerful weapon is used. Listen to the noise the missile makes just before the hit – that whooshing noise is caused by its phenomenal velocity as it cuts through the air. That is not the noise of a falling Palestinian rocket. If you watch videos being shared of Palestinian rockets being fired, notice how slowly they travel. Almost at a snail’s pace. If they fail, they drop at free-fall speed, not the near-supersonic speed of the missile that hit the hospital. To think otherwise is to misunderstand the laws of physics. 3. Israel’s apologists are trying to further muddy the waters by suggesting that either a Palestinian rocket fell, or was intercepted, and the rocket or fragments of it hit a very large ammo dump in the hospital. Let’s just accept the racist premise that hundreds of families were quite happy to seek safety next to a huge stash of explosives in the middle of a relentless Israeli bombing campaign. Let’s also accept the fantastical idea that a falling glorified firework or fragment of it could penetrate the hospital’s strong walls and set off such an explosion. If all this was true, you would still see a series of secondary explosions as the arms were detonated by the initial explosion. You don’t because there is only one explosion – from an enormous missile. 4. It’s a desperate psyop, so Israel has now released a recording of two Hamas militants conveniently having a chat after the missile strike, discussing whether they or Islamic Jihad did it. This is the same Israel that did not detect months of planning by Hamas that was needed to organise its breakout 10 days ago. But Israel got lucky this time, it seems, and just happened to be listening in when Huey and Louie decided to self-incriminate. Remember Israel has a whole unit of ‘mistaravim’, Israeli Jewish undercover agents trained to pose as Palestinians and secretly operate among Palestinians. Israel produced a highly popular TV series about such people, set in Gaza, called Fauda. You have to be beyond credulous to think that Israel couldn’t, and wouldn’t, rig up a call like this to fool us, just as it regularly fools Palestinians in Gaza. Most of the people spreading these lies know they are lies, including the media, and most especially the Middle East and defence correspondents. At least a few, like the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen and Jon Donnison, are trying cautiously to suggest it’s unlikely a Hamas rocket could cause damage on the scale seen at the Gaza hospital. But it’s not unlikely. It’s impossible, and they know it. They just don’t dare say it. https://www.jonathan-cook.net/blog/2023-10-18/ahli-hospital-gaza-gaslit/ |

Starcrest1:Do you recognize that there's an israeli occupation of Palestine or not? |
Corrections:So stating what happened is akin to me celebrating it? Does the link I posted prove that her killing wasn't due to christian hate or not? |
Starcrest1:If the Hamas attack justifies these attacks from israel, then Palestinians have earned the right to completely wipe out Israel due to all the deaths caused by israelis Do you know how many Palestinians israel killed since the beginning of the year before Hamas attacked? It's pointless pointing out herdsmen attacks to me, I don't justify unlawful killings by whoever and I'd rather attack the Government for failing to protect victims of attacks |
Corrections:This isn't about caring about Christian matters, it's more about showing how your hate of Muslims is stronger than your love of christians Deborah was killed after being alleged to have insulted the Prophet.

An Israeli air attack has killed and injured a “large number” of displaced people sheltering at a church compound in Gaza, according to the besieged Palestinian enclave’s interior ministry. The strike left a “large number of martyrs and injured” at the compound of the Greek Orthodox Saint Porphyrius Church in Gaza City, the ministry said on Thursday night. Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office reported on Friday that 18 Christian Palestinians were among the dead. Witnesses told the AFP news agency the air raid appeared to have been aimed at a target close to the 12th-century place of worship where many Christian and Muslim Gaza residents had taken refuge as the war raged in the enclave. The Israeli military told AFP that its fighter jets had hit a command and control centre involved in launching rockets and mortars towards Israel. “As a result of the IDF [Israeli army] strike, a wall of a church in the area was damaged,” it said, adding “we are aware of reports on casualties. The incident is under review.” Witnesses said the attack damaged the facade of the church and caused an adjacent building to collapse, adding that many injured people were evacuated to hospital. Saint Porphyrius, built in about 1150, is the oldest church still in use in Gaza. Located in an historic neighbourhood of Gaza City, the church offered sanctuary to people of various faiths over generations. The Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem expressed its “strongest condemnation” of the strike. “Targeting churches and their institutions, along with the shelters they provide to protect innocent citizens, especially children and women who have lost their homes due to Israeli airstrikes on residential areas over the past 13 days, constitutes a war crime that cannot be ignored,” the patriarchate said in a statement. Explaining the damage done to the church, the Israeli military claimed: “Hamas intentionally embeds its assets in civilian areas and uses the residents of the Gaza Strip as human shields.” Gaza has been hit by a relentless barrage of Israeli fire following an attack by Hamas fighters on October 7, which Israel says killed at least 1,400 people, most of them civilians. Israel’s campaign since has killed at least 3,785 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, most of them civilians, according to the Hamas health ministry.

AntiTerrorist:They're shaming the world and exposing the hypocrisy of many Despite how weak they are compared to israel, they're standing up to them, demanding basic human rights They also exposed the lie of israel's army's invincibility It's telling that despite all atrocities committed against them, Palestinians still support the resistance By the way, israel just bombed one of the oldest churches in the world, the Greek Orthodox church in Gaza, killing many Christians seeking refuge there |
iSense247:Your angelic israel just bombed a Church in Gaza yesterday Several Christians seeking refuge there were killed |
WrriterNig:israeli politicians: "we warned them to evacuate" The idf: "It was an Islamic Jihad misfired rocket" Joe Biden: "the other team did it" European intelligence officials: "Based on observed evidence, between 10 - 50 people were killed" All this just to cover for war crimes Only shameless people excuse war crimes |
It's like America knows it has lost the Ukraine war, so they want to use this israel own as compensation. Same goes for it's lackey European allies That explains the deployment of several aircraft carriers and a standby force Regardless of whatever posturing, it's clear the U.S is a power in decline |
WrriterNig:look at the rubbish impact of Hamas rockets, highest it can kill is about three people and some shameless idiots want to say israel didn't bomb the hospital |
Segun2222:Instead of all these psyops rubbish Russia has said israel should release satellite images of the attack...as simple as ABC You clearly have no shame |
greggng:Stay tuned, we've not gotten to the best part yet |
Jeyun:OGA I actually like the foreseeable outcome of all this For a long time, Muslims have been docile and the signs show they're waking up Make israel continue, dem go bomb tire |
Strafudeen:Kai your kind are stupid This is a 70+yr old issue and you think Palestinians don't know israelis more than you that occasionally watches from afar Israel fought Hezbullah at a time when they weren't occupied with Gaza and it ended in a stalemate and you're here daring them If Israel likes let them use up all their bombs on Gaza, israel will NEVER have peace, the Middle East people can't be scared by mindless bombings. The U.S did it in Iraq, israel has done it several times in Gaza, Afghanistan as well One thing is certain, several generations have passed since the 1940s and 60s when America and israel thought themselves invincible, if israel continues like this and sparks a regional war, it'll be the end of American might in the region and israel will lose it's protection You think it's video game? Dey play Continue sef, you're in Nigeria, your stance is being observed, when yawa shele, na una go collect, israel won't save you |
