RE: Israeli forces shoot unarmed protesters from across Gaza security fence, killing at least 15
※→ Billo_Really, et al,
OK, I have cited just a few specific Laws that are involved.
✪ San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea, 12 June 1994
• Section V, Paragraph 67
✪ International Small Arms Control Standards (ISACS) 05.60:2012(E)V1.0
• 8.6.3 Priority areas • As a priority, needs should be identified that would ensure a basic border control capacity, with an initial focus on the development of
a) human resources in the border control agencies;
b) capacity to conduct risk assessments;
c) inter-agency cooperation within the State; and
d) cross-border cooperation with border agencies in neighbouring States.
✪ The 1997 Terrorist Bombings Convention (EXCERPTS)
Article 2
1. Any person commits an offence within the meaning of this Convention if that person unlawfully and intentionally delivers, places, discharges or detonates an explosive or other lethal device in, into or against a place of public use, a State or government facility, a public transportation system or an infrastructure facility:
(a) With the intent to cause death or serious bodily injury; or
(b) With the intent to cause extensive destruction of such a place, facility or system, where such destruction results in or is likely to result in major economic loss.
2. Any person also commits an offence if that person attempts to commit an offence as set forth in paragraph 1.
Article 4
Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary:
(a) To establish as criminal offences under its domestic law the offences set forth in article 2 of this Convention;
(b) To make those offences punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account the grave nature of those offences.
Article 5
Each State Party shall adopt such measures as may be necessary, including, where appropriate, domestic legislation, to ensure that criminal acts within the scope of this Convention, in particular where they are intended or calculated to provoke a state of terror in the general public or in a group of persons or particular persons, are under no circumstances justifiable by considerations of a political, philosophical, ideological, racial, ethnic, religious or other similar nature and are punished by penalties consistent with their grave nature.
Article 6
1. Each State Party shall take such measures as may be necessary to establish its jurisdiction over the offences set forth in article 2 when:
(a) The offence is committed in the territory of that State; or
(b) The offence is committed on board a vessel flying the flag of that State or an aircraft which is registered under the laws of that State at the time the offence is committed; or
(c) The offence is committed by a national of that State.
I have a very good understanding of international law and you are full of shit! There is no legal justification for Israel to be in Gazan territorial waters. They are there to make life unbearable for Palestinians. They shoot at their fishermen, they shoot at their farmers and as we have seen in the videos this past two weeks, they shoot at unarmed protesters.
My opinion is, anyone even attempting to defend such actions, is not only complicit in a crime, but is a piece of shit human.

(COMMENT)
I am so glad that you have a very good understanding of international law. I am not so knowledgeable, being the layman I am. I have often thought that people, like yourself, who advocate that action to provoke or incite violence or acts confrontation [S/RES/1624 (2005)] → were just as guilty as the perpetrators themselves. But I suppose you can cite me the law, for my edification, that promotes this view.
Most Respectfully,
