Israelis are often called violators, but there is no rational basis in history, logic or law for that charge, so what is wrong with institutions that level these charges with no facts to support them?
The Israelis are habitual violators of international law which is why they are considered a bunch of shameless scofflaws.
But of course, there is no rational basis in history, logic or law for making that claim.
International law states that territory cannot be acquired through war. The targeting of civilians for wholesale slaughter is a violation of international law. And so on in a list as long as your arm. Hence, Israel is a criminal state.
The international law you are referring to is the Fourth Geneva Conventions which address land conquered by one signatory of the Conventions by another, but Judea and Samaria were never legally part of Jordan, which conquered them in 1948, and were in turn captured by Israel when Jordan began shelling and bombing Israel in 1967. Since Judea and Samaria had no legal status in 1967, the Geneva Conventions do not apply.
Israel has never targeted civilians and as a matter of fact has the best record of avoiding civilian casualties in asymmetric warfare of any modern military, including the US and NATO forces.
"Colonel
Richard Kemp, former Commander of British Forces in Afghanistan and adamant supporter of the IDF, spoke in 2011 about Israeli operations in the Gaza War. He said that a study published by the United Nations showed "that the ratio of civilian to combatant deaths in Gaza was by far the lowest in any asymmetric conflict in the history of warfare." He stated that this ratio was less than 1:1, and compared it favorably to the estimated ratios in NATO operations in Afghanistan (3:1), western campaigns in Iraq and Kosovo (believed to be 4:1), and the conflicts in Chechnya and Serbia (much higher than 4:1, according to anecdotal evidence).
[49] Kemp argued that the low ratio was achieved through unprecedented measures by the IDF to minimize civilian casualties, which included providing warnings to the population via telephone calls, radio broadcasts and leaflets, as well as granting pilots the discretion to abort a strike if they perceived too great a risk of civilian casualties. He also stated that the civilian casualties that did occur could be seen in light of what he said was
Hamas' tactical use of Gazan civilians "as human shields, to hide behind, to stand between Israeli forces and their own fighters" and strategic use of them for exploitation of their deaths in the media.
