So you are telling me international law applies to everyone except Israel?

[moali]

Very similar to how organized crime operates. Not so surprising behavior from Israel to be honest.
The real question is why does the US continue to support these criminals?

Stop calling the criminal tresspassers settlers.

The US when presented with video evidence of Israeli war crimes: Look, I'm not a lawyer, we have to wait for all the facts. The US when presented with unproven accusations on 12 out of 13, 000 UNWRA workers: Case closed, we're cutting off all humanitarian aid.

I bet Netanyahu let Hamas attack for this reason and the whole world fell for it. He sacrificed 1200 people that paved the way for his expansion project.

I’m shocked but heartened that the WSJ actually made this

Yes, plenty of New York born and raised chosen ones have been doing this forever, under the guise of divine right. Whole families being kicked off their lands and homes taken under the excuse " they weren't up keeping their land", with plenty off them being abused or even killed if they dont leave their land.

AIPAC should be required to register under FARA…Stop foreign election interference.

"Lebensraum" is a German term that translates to "living space." It was used by the Nazis during World War II to justify their territorial expansion into Eastern Europe, claiming that the German people needed more space to grow and prosper. This concept was a key part of Hitler's ideology, which sought to establish a Greater German Empire at the expense of other nations.

There are literally companies advertising and preselling beach front locations in Gaza too. Absolutely disgusting and appalling.

[ДауренОмарханов-тк]

Imagine this happening to your country. Wouldn't you fight?

Any person with a massive machine gun like that can't be a innocent civilian.

As Israel moves more and more down the path to being an apartheid power in the West Bank, the response may be an international boycott similar to South Africa.

[KRN]

YES, this is the problem! Stop taking Palestinian land NOW. And return what you took. This has been the peoblem for decades, not just October 7th 2023

[mark-pebt]

now we know why Netanyahu didnt do anything when he knew of the imminent missile attacks. He did know, how is Israel with one of the greatest intellegence services on earth not know that thousands of rockets had reached gaza?

[kevinjenner]

Difficult to call for a ceasefire while your simultaneously funding IDF crimes in Gaza.

[nsvo]

So settlement are illegal under international law, but legal under Israeli law. Kinda says it all right there.

It has always and only ever been about them....

[davidcheung]

This is absolutely disgusting but not surprising
