France is “determined” to recognise a Palestinian state, its foreign minister said on Tuesday, condemning Israel for the “indefensible” situation in Gaza created by its military campaign and humanitarian blockade.

    The difference is the ICJ only punishes rebels, its clear hypocrisy. These laws of war are laws against the weak. They do nothing to stop dictators or actural genocide while complaining when people fight back.

      You mean, like, they’ve put out a warrant out on Netanyahu not because they want to sentence him but because they think it’s funny, and Milosevic et all didn’t get sentenced, either, it’s all just a prank? Well Milosevic himself died in detention before getting sentenced but same difference.

      Oh and side note the ICC is responsible for dealing with persons, the ICJ judges states.

      And even if the ICC would be biased AF: Fascism is still bad. Do I really have to explain that to a Blåhaj.

        A group of people defending their lives against genocide and committing morally questionable acts is not fascism. The fact is real resistance isnt pretty, also yes I think they know that what they did was meaningless because no country is going to enforce that warrant (at least not ones Bibi would visit).

          Plenty of resistances and revolutions who did not commit crimes against humanity. This is not a question of “war is ugly”, but “making war uglier than it needs to be for no tactical gain whatsoever”.

          And yes Hamas is fascist. They’re authoritarian Islamists with a hard-on for eternal war, not too dissimilar (besides holy book) from American Christofascists. Same shit also exists on the Israeli side. It’s why the conflict keeps on going in the first place.
