    No. This just is an example for that international law is barely law.

    Same goes for the legality of wars: might makes right. You being an agressor does not fundamentally mean that you will lose and must pay unless the world police shows up and puts a gun to your head.

        Bullshit. Something being IL just doesn’t have a bearing on how it is going to be enforced or reacted to. There is a wide spectrum there. The terror attacks of 9/11(2001) were hainous and sparked international outrage.

          Decide yourself, are you with international laws or not. You seem ok when the west do terror attacks . The bombing of the school in Itran on the first day was a terrorist attack. The firebombing of Tokyo was always the worst terrorist attack ever conducted.

            Collateral damage is a fact of war and calling plausible collateral damage a terrorist attack is weaking the meaning of the term or betraying your dishonesty.

            Even predigious use of arms and chemical weapons against civilians takes years to be recognized as being intentional. War is messy. War is terrible. And even worse: war is a negative sum game.

              Israel has been doing terrorist attacks decades before Hamas ever existed. It is not collateral damage when the army does exactly what Israeli leaders say, which is to kill babies, raping Palestinians on cam. Nobody is stupid enough to believe that destroying the majority of civilian infrastructure is collateral damage, raping Palestinians on cam is collateral damage, destroying the majority of the agricultural fields is collateral damage, 83% of dead Gazans being civilians is collateral damage. 83% of civilians dead is a genocide-level percentage.

          The 9/11 attacks sparked international outrage in some white European countries, that’s it.

          All other countries either didn’t care or celebrated. Including Israel.

            Your linked source poses it as a conspiracy theory. Not really a great move on your part. You seem intellectually dishonest.

              The ‘conspiracy’ part is that Mossad did the attacks, not that four israelis, two of which were Mossad agents according to the FBI, were recording the attacks and were reported to said FBI for dancing and recording the attacks; and told the FBI they flew to America to witness the attacks.

              The first part is the ‘conspiracy,’ the second part is the FBI’s report. So is the FBI intellectually dishonest? Or were you incapable of comprehending what you were reading?
