“These attacks violate the human right to life, absent any indication that the victims posed an imminent lethal threat to anyone else at the time.”
I’m pretty sure Israel really doesn’t care.
Right on.
So… uh, what are we actually going to do about it this time?
Anybody…?
More finger wagging or asking them to investigate themselves
Israel deserves criticism for indiscriminately bombing the general location where terrorists live, and accepting that civilian casualties are part of the deal, but then people continue to criticize a sophisticated and precision attack against the enemy combatants with an absolute minimum of civilian casualties. Seems like people think Israel has no right to defend itself at all, and makes you wonder if it’s just good old fashioned anti semitism.
Sure let’s ignore the whole in a country they aren’t at war with thing.
I don’t know what country you live in but if someone bombed my neighborhood to take out a single person people would be rightly outraged.
Does launching rockets at Israel violate international law?
Did the kids killed by rockets in a soccer field pose an imminent lethal threat?
You say they’re terrorists if I’m not mistaken.
Why then would you judge morality against what you say is immoral? I think like every mainstream religious text ever has something about two wrongs don’t make a right.
First of all, I never said Hezbollah are terrorists.
More important, this is about legality not morality. Governments adhere to the laws of armed conflict not out morality, but because they want their enemies to adhere to them. International law is always transactional.
So if a government doesn’t adhere to the laws of armed conflict, then its enemies won’t adhere to them either. That’s pretty much the only enforcement mechanism, by the way.
