What about all the other sorts of explosives like suitcase etc.
War is war. One side wants to destroy the other, and the other has to do whats necessary in retaliation.
Blah blah blah…. Can we just kick the UN out if the US for God sakes? These folks do absolutely nothing to further any of the supposed causes they advocate for. Theyre nothing more than a cover for terrorists. Apologists for murderers.
Maybe we should do more than kick them out. One key to the problem is the Muslim bloc of at least 50 or so countries in that institution. Let us fully close the UN down, and build international bodies of non-Muslim countries to protect the interests of the great majority of humanity that is not Muslim. That might put a damper on some of the massive immigration into the West.
Volker Türk, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights,
Oh shut up!
People who were not Hezzbollah did not get their nuts popped. [As it were, of course]
UN Staff played a role in the October 7th attack.
UNRWA fired staff and put others on administrative leave only because they got caught.
Well, you hear the buzz, and then it goes off.
Great comments BUMP! Beware of UNaccountable bureaucrats.
Saw this one coming....
Problem is that international law doesn’t apply to terrorists.
Terrorists don’t observe international law...
Why should Israel observe those laws when dealing with terrorists?
UN proclamations are ratchets that only ever tighten in one direction: Against Israel.
The wiki on this matter has filled up.
This looks like a highly questionable tactic. Before I lay out the laws, best to first make clear there is no whatabout-ism. That’s not a defense. Everything is its own matter.
Here are the problems:
Booby traps are mostly outlawed under the Protocol on Mines, Booby-Traps and Other Devices (”Amended Protocol II”) of the Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons,[128] to which Israel is a party.[30] Article 7.2 of Amended Protocol II prohibits the use of “booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects which are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material.
That’s from the wiki.
In addition to a political wing, Hezbollah also has affiliated charities that provide social services.[134] For example, one of those killed was a hospital orderly carrying a pager at Al Rassoul Al Azam Hospital, which is linked to a Hezbollah charity.[134] Andreas Krieg, a professor of security studies at King’s College London, said it was likely the pagers were distributed among civilian members of Hezbollah, such as those working in charities or the civil service, and these people were not taking part in hostilities.
There are a few comments in the wiki claiming the action was not a violation.
Too much pastage, to find one of these scroll to Elizabeth Samson in the wiki here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_pager_explosions
There is apparently an obligation to ensure devices are not in possession of purely civilians and it’s almost certain that obligation was not met.
F! this UN rights chief and the horse he rode it on.
How about burning and cutting the heads off babies? Was that a war crime on Oct 7th?
The UN is a squatter on US soil.
It is time to evict them.
Quack, Bang, Out.
But Hamas slaughtering, raping, torturing Jews and holding them hostage is a-okay.
Trump needs to pull the US out of the UN, and kick the UN out of the US, in his first week in office.
“Lots if folks” name em.
Name is Tran von con.
That’s all I got
I think I linked the wiki. I recall at least one name.
