I know support for Israel is unwavering here but I dont like this if that’s what they’re doing . It’s against a lot of convention .
The laws of war if you will..
The "laws of war" apply only if both sides abide by them. Clearly Hamas/Gaza/Palestinians or whatever they call themselves don't do that.
Plus, Israel is dealing with a societal issue. The terrorist leaders exist because the people want them to.
As an example outside the Middle East, World War 2 happened because not enough average Joe German civilians died in WW1 because the Allies didn't bring the war to the German homeland. Want to know why Germany hasn't started WW3? Because the Allies in WW2 made sure the Germans also lost civilian lives by bringing the war to Germany. The same for Japan learning to quit starting wars. Nobody has taught that lesson to the jihadist nations.
“but I dont like this if that’s what they’re doing “
Awwww... got sand in your panties? Exactly what would you have the Israelis do? Hamas has taken over the “refugee camps” (which by the way are filled with people who fully support them without reservation)
Do you let Hamas keep running things and send a bunch of food and supplies in?
Why is all your wailing and pearl clutching not directed at the Palestinian soldiers embedding in those camps and endangering the refugees?
” It’s against a lot of convention .The laws of war if you will..”
You know what else is against the laws of war? Embedding in a refugee camp and using human shields, holding and raping hostages, deliberate targeting of non-combatant civilians. Raping and sodomizing women in public, and shooting them in the back of the head while doing so. Sticking an AK barrel in their vagina and pulling the trigger. Shooting toddlers in their beds. Burning people alive. Literally raping people to death and spreading their legs so wide they are dislocated out of their hip sockets. Sending an unprovoked rain of 5000+ unguided rockets into a town.
You really wanna talk about conventions and the law of war?
Actually, Israel does follow the laws of war. HAMAS and Hezbollah do not.
Hey, randfan, no one believes that you believe it.
Shed a tear for them if you must, but what is really going on is this: Every truck that brings supplies in is commandeered by Hamas at gunpoint, and rerouted to their distribution points. The local Gazans are forced to pay for these goods, usually at 10 times their worth. Hamas takes the proceeds and distributes the monies to their leaders, and then their soldiers, and any Gazans that resist are killed. Perhaps the Israelis should calculate the number of calories the Hostages are receiving and distribute on that basis. That would be fair. LET MY PEOPLE GO! Said the Prophet.
If the Biden admin is to be believed, Israel is conducting a siege. (And I have no problem with it). Here’s some historical background for you:
The 7 Most Incredible Sieges In Military History: https://www.military.com/history/7-most-incredible-sieges-military-history.html?amp
There “truly” is no such thing as a “fair” fight!
I give you: (1) the fire-bombing of Tokyo,
(2) the fire-bombing of Dresden,
(3) the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima
and, (4) the atomic-bombing of Nagasaki to name a “few!”
The Pali’s wrote a check that their asses can’t cash!
What convention determined that Israel is responsible for the care, feeding, infrastructure and welfare of a bloodthirsty people determined to butcher Jews?
>> The laws of war if you will..
Do Israel’s enemies obey your “laws of war”...???
