HeliX Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 3 minutes ago, P.K. said: The US feeds intelligence to Israel all the time. It is highly likely that those Iranians killed in Syria had something to do with the Hamas assault. Which explains the strike. There's no exemption in international law for striking the sovreign territory of another nation because you believe some of the people you will hit had "something to do" with another incident.

It's been Israeli policy since the Munich attack in 1972: "The campaign to avenge Munich, dubbed Operation Wrath of God, has come to symbolize Israel’s willingness to track down its adversaries no matter where they are and eliminate them..." You can be certain that right now the Israelis are hunting down all those who took part in the initial Hamas assault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see you finally agree that Israel has an ongoing commitment to violating international law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no laws to "violate" as such, only conventions. Palestine as a whole is also not (yet) recognised as a state by the international community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every country has a sneaking admiration for the way they use this policy to reduce the chances of further terrorist outrages. It's deterrence in action.

But if you're racing to the bottom against a terrorist state and a terrorist organisation while purporting to be "the only democracy in the Middle East" maybe you should aim higher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Netanyahu should stop his policy of oppression of Gaza and settlement of the West Bank that drives people into the arms of Hamas, and he should stop escalating aggression with Iran like a dipshit.

The fact you can't or won't understand how things work in the real world is completely your own fault. Your "single state" so-called "solution" is an excellent example of this. I mean, would you give up everything you worked so hard for to live cheek-by-jowl with a bunch of murderous thugs whose ethos is all about butchering you, your wife and your kids so they can then celebrate it by dancing in the streets...? Didn't think so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
