montelatici, et al,
There is pretty firm indications that within the UN, there are corrupted and anti-semitic forces at work.
P F Tinmore, et al,
You should not answer this question.
Well, like I said, the "suffering" unoccupied Palestinians that are being governed by Hamas, an Islamic terrorist organization have no choice but to slaughter innocent people in their quest for establishing an Islamic Caliphate, which happens to be exactly what ISIS is trying to do.
Hamas of Gaza = ISIS of Syria
Again, can you answer the question. I am truly curious to know, it's not a trick question.
What group seeking freedom from foreign rule, past or present, should the Palestinians emulate?
What foreign rule are the Arabs-Moslems occupying Gaza and the West Bank subject to when both or those Islamic terrorist franchises have elected Islamist terrorists in political office?
Again, you backstroke. Are you hoping to join the Islamic swim team?
Is deflection all you have?
(COMMENT)
Gaza is not under Israeli occupation. It does not meet the legal criteria for Article 43, HR.
West Bank = It depends. It what zone you are speaking about.
Area A (full civil and security control by the
Palestinian Authority)
Area B (Palestinian civil control and joint Israeli-Palestinian security control)
Area C (full Israeli civil and security control)
Most Respectfully,

Gaza is under occupation pursuant to legal precedent. The Nuremberg Trials, "Hostages Case" and the U.N.'s determination that Gaza is under occupation.
The West Bank and East Jerusalem are under de juris and de facto occupation.
These are just facts. Your propaganda does not change legal fact.
(COMMENT)
It is true that the UN Security Council issued a
Resolution 1860 in 2009, with the emphasis on:
• Condemns all violence and hostilities directed against civilians and all acts of terrorism;
• Calls upon Member States to intensify efforts to provide arrangements and guarantees in Gaza in order to sustain a durable ceasefire and calm, including to
prevent illicit trafficking in arms and ammunition and to ensure the sustained reopening of the crossing points on the basis of the 2005 Agreement on Movement
and Access between the Palestinian Authority and Israel.
The Nuremberg Tribunals is a grasping at straws effort by certain factions of the Arab-Palestinian community, who are desperately trying to find some political pressure point which they can apply to injure Israel. But in fact, Israel does not hold an "occupation" over the Gaza Strip. REMEMBER: The rules of international humanitarian law relevant to occupied territories become applicable whenever territory comes under the effective control of hostile foreign armed forces, even if the occupation meets no armed resistance and there is no fighting. The key here is "Effective Control." When the "Effective Control" is lost, the occupation has ended. Israel does not have the "effective control" to prevent:
• Safe havens for terrorist and Jihadist Groups like the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
• Established, operates and protects terrorist training facilities.
• HAMAS my set-up rocket and mortar launch pads anywhere in the HAMAS controlled areas.
• The construction of Breaching Tunnels.
Latest UN declaration of Israel’s "occupation" is part of a wider push to maintain Palestinian helplessness.
Hamas says Gaza ‘not occupied’; UN disagrees said:
The UN continues to label the Gaza Strip “occupied” by Israel, despite a Hamas leader stating this week that that’s no longer a tenable position.
Hamas co-founder Mahmoud Zahar confirmed Tuesday there is no Israeli occupation of Gaza, according to a report published by Ma’an, a Bethlehem- based Palestinian news agency.
Whatever you want to grasp, is OK by me. But the argument has flaws, serious flaws. For instance, if Israel had effective control, it could have stopped the State of Palestine from signing any treaties, or silences any criticisms.
ICRC:
An alternative and more restrictive approach would be to say that a situation of occupation exists only once a party to a conflict is in a position to exercise sufficient authority over enemy territory to enable it to discharge all of the duties imposed by the law of occupation. This approach is adopted by a number of military manuals.
5. When does occupation come to an end?
The normal way for an occupation to e nd is for the occupying power to withdraw from the occupied territory or be driven out of it. However, the continued presence of foreign troops does not necessarily mean that occupation continues.
