For decades Israel has violated intl law, incl UN res. & ICJ orders. This year it has bombed dozens of UN premises, killed hundreds of UN staff, accused UN officials of "terrorism" & "antisemitism" among others. Now it is attacking peacekeepers. When will Israel be #UNseated?

Reliable sources in #Gaza confirm this is accurate. The threat of yet another massacre is northern Gaza is very real. Israel must be ordered to stop assaulting the Palestinians trapped there and withdraw immediately from the occupied Palestinian territory, as already decided by the #ICJ. #PalestiniansNeedProtection

How Israel attempts to justify indiscriminate attacks on civilians (and why it’s failing) - by @CraigMokhiber on @Mondoweiss "..Israel’s defenders try to use certain nouns as trump cards. By saying that the targets were “Hezbollah” or “terrorists”, (just as they have tried to do with “Hamas”) they seek to create a law-free zone in which the rules of international law (or even basic morality) don’t apply. But calling someone a “terrorist” or saying that they are affiliated with a group that you dislike or consider to be terrorist, is not a legal argument. At the very heart of international humanitarian law is the distinction between combatants and non-combatants. Superimposing another label on top of a civilian population that you do not like does not make them legitimate targets. Indeed, even attempting to re-label combatants in this way does not relieve Israel of its obligations under international humanitarian and human rights law. Unlawful weapons and tactics remain unlawful, regardless of the labels the attackers apply to their targets...." mondoweiss.net/2024/09/how-i…
