What If the Children Dying in Gaza Were Jews?

[fanger]

There are exceptions. A school, for example, becomes a legitimate military target if soldiers are based there. With hospitals, the situation is more complicated since they are permitted to keep armed guards on their grounds. But immunity from attack can be lost if the people or objects are used to commit acts that are harmful to one side in a conflict. If the Bosnian Serbs besieging Sarajevo had concluded that government forces were firing weapons from within the Kosevo hospital complex, they would have had the right to fire back—but only if they had first asked the Bosnian government to stop using the hospital as a shield and had given them a reasonable period to comply.

Causing harm to an innocent person or object is not always illegal. Civilian deaths and damage are allowed as the result of an attack on a military target, but only if the attack is likely to confer a definite military advantage. Damage to people or objects who are in principle deemed to be immune under international humanitarian law must not be excessive in relation to the expected military gain. For example, breaking the windows of a hospital during an attack on an arms dump five hundred meters away would not be illegal since the civilian damage would be far outweighed by the military gain.

But keeping legitimate military targets separate from protected civilian sites is hard to do on the ground. Under international humanitarian law, the parties to a conflict are obliged to separate their military from their civilians as much as possible. But the reality is that this can be difficult. In Sarajevo, for example, the territory under siege was so small that to do so was all but impossible. That said, in Sarajevo, as in many towns across Bosnia-Herzegovina, it seemed clear that the besiegers’ primary target was civilians. That was one of the reasons why Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, the civilian and military leaders of the secessionist Bosnian Serbs, were charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Tribunal in The Hague.

Crimes of War ? Immunity from Attack

See you there

Nope!
You really gotta brush up on your Jewish Scripture.
And it's not ALWAYS referred to as Zion, but also the Land of Canaan or The Land which I promised to your forefathers.
A whole bunch of names.

Theodore Herzl's Zionism, is a political movement.

Zionism pre dates Herzl's version by over 1,000 years. It is a fundamental part of Judaism and is in the Talmud, the Jewish book of Rabbinical law

You brushed over Article 25, or maybe it was not to your liking

Article 25: The attack or bombardment, by whatever means, of towns, villages, dwellings, or buildings which are undefended is prohibited.

Article 26: The officer in command of an attacking force must, before commencing a bombardment, except in cases of assault, do all in his power to warn the authorities.
Article 27: In sieges and bombardments all necessary steps must be taken to spare, as far as possible, buildings dedicated to religion, art, science, or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals, and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not being used at the time for military purposes.
It is the duty of the besieged to indicate the presence of such buildings or places by distinctive and visible signs, which shall be notified to the enemy beforehand

Wouldn't matter.

If you can't bee good neighbors and try to get along after 50 years, I wouldn't care what the people that showed up, turned a shit hole into a paradise, offered good jobs, longer life, etc etc, did, when you shot rockets at them from behind your children

The rockets fired from the "paradise" of Gaza are fired from underground tunnels that cant be seen until they're launched, Israel has the Iron doom gifted to them by the US. with which to counter them,

the bombing and artillery strikes on Schools, Hospitals, refugee camps and disabled peoples homes, are to strike Terror and death to the population

Not according to the evidence seen on this board over the last 3 weeks. Why are journalists saying that rockets have been fired from the parking lots of hospitals, or that the launchers are in civilian areas close to were children are playing because hamas forces them to stay and act as human shields. I will advise you to subscribe to Google Earth and see were the rockets are being fired from, then you wont be so quick to defend the ISLAMONAZI TERRORIST SCUM.

Your argument rests on the belief that Hamas does not plant themselves amongst non-combatants and maybe that's why nobody gives a shit about your "facts".

I was defending the civilians (the majority of victims) or do you see them as "ISLAMONAZI TERRORIST SCUM." too?

"Facts" that the ICC and Israeli leaders do give a shit about?

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu appealed to American legislators to help Israel stave off what is likely to be a concerted global push to haul the country’s military and political leaders to international courts for alleged war crimes committed in Gaza, The New York Post reported on Thursday.

According to the Post, during a meeting on Wednesday with members of Congress who are visiting Israel as guests of AIPAC, Netanyahu urged the American representatives to summon their powers in assisting Israeli officials who wish to avoid trial by the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

[BillyP]

I'm REALLY confused:
One the one hand, the Hamas lovers here INSIST the world HATES Israel and the Jews.
On the other hand, the Hamas lovers here INSIST the world LOVES Israel and the Jews.

How about the world hates Israel and loves the Jews?

So Arabs love Jews?
