I'm on #teamtienisquicklybecomingtheworstposterITT

What a pompous post considering the Security Council does author and interpret law.

While Israel calls their kidnappers the IDF, names streets after them, awards medals and gives them the full support of their own law.

Much of a muchness.

Uh, no, also not true.

By Article 25 of the Charter, the members agreed to carry out the decisions of the UN SC (or follow its resolutions), but that is nothing close to "authoring and interpreting law".

Indeed it would be absurd to allow diplomatic representatives with no required legal background or experience to interpret law, and even more absurd that any country would agree to follow any laws written by some foreign group of diplomats.

For someone that just tried to pompously call me out for being pompous while being wrong, it must suck to be so wrong.

given many of the posts in this thread, articles in the NY Times, and the Guardian, etc., why would Hamas ever not break a cease fire

Lol. Yes that's exactly how the conversation in the Kirya went.

1) Bomb schools
2) ??????
3) Victory!

It always takes a while for the crazies to show their colours, but they always do.

I'm pretty comfortable putting Tien in the Deuces McKracken category now.

You have your own category of insanity.

Supports neutering ethiopians.

Supports Israeli settlements.

Supports snipers shooting kids.

Supports entire destruction of gaza

Supports bombing of schools full of kids.

Might take me a few lifetimes to go so low.

Typical Gamblor. You throw these gems every other day.

All you can say is Israel murders children in every single post you make. Why are you even here?

Where the hell have you been these past few years.

I've been looking the past few months and many of his posts he makes seem researched and thought out. I don't really know about his posts years ago, if they have relevance to what's going on today, and what he says is truly appalling, I suggest you dig them up and post something useful.

All you do is just keep posting Israel kills kids and bombs schools like this situation is that simple. I hate when people just keep spouting this off because people who have no idea what's going on and become pawns against Israel.

I'm trying to figure it out but I'm pretty sure you are one of those pawns.

Gamblor has lost his **** and taken some unfathomably bad positions over the years. That said, he's wrong about tien in general, right in this specific argument.

Pawns? I think hamas is a terrorist organization. I do not believe Israel to be a terrorist organization. There is no peace if Hamas is in power.

But I will not absolve Israel for what they did in last 4 weeks. That's all. My position is quite accurate and right.

Lol. You got the second one right at least.

This is expert legal analysis.

This is mindblowing.

Individuals listed as civilian teenagers by various human rights organizations (including B'Tselem, PCHR, and reported by UN representatives) were actually adult terrorists.

The real winner? Egypt

Why is it mindblowing? This is a war, what do you expect? Have you heard of PTSD. They've been living with threat of attack forever, no other country has a clean sheet. From what I've seen it seems like they are doing an honourable job despite that. The only one horrible instance I saw was that guy going back to his home and he was getting shot allegedly by Israeli snipers. I don't even know how legit that video is.

I think they are doing a good job, given the circumstances.

It's mind blowing because ludacris read in the news that children died, and the only conceivable explanation in his mind is that the army deliberately and wantonly kills children as a matter of policy.

I think you're right.

I wonder what would have happened if Morsi was still in power.

Lol. The article sources its info directly from the Abu Rish brigades of Fateh and the various Human Rights Orgs and then cross-references it. So yeah, huge bias.

"Terror tactics" lol.

Stronger = what, exactly? You have equipment that gives you an advantage over an enemy army but it's immoral to use it?

Only because I have to deal with people like you all the time.

Speaking of the ICC, I've said several times that - despite the empty threats from the PA - it's terribly unlikely that the ICC even has jurisdiction over the settlements.

This paper goes into better detail.

Set aside 'wantonly'. The Israeli army certainly does kill children deliberately. They know with certainty their actions will have this result. In your view that policy is justified. Do you ever question your own assumptions? If not, aren't you resigned to a conflict that will go on, must go on, indefinitely?

Not exactly - "deliberately" is not the same as "know with likelihood" (not lol certainty) or even the same as "made a mistake". Are you referring to army policy and the ROE or the actions of an individual soldier? Because to extrapolate policies out of a specific incident is lol.

What is this non sequitur? What does the continuation of a conflict have to do with the incidents above to with you are obliquely referring? Conflicts happen because there are competing political interests that haven't been resolved. Are you saying that the PA/Hamas/whoever are so stupid that they will just keep the conflict going without any goals, just because some of "theirs" died?

I'm happy to get into my justification for IDF policy generally, but I don't think you know what that policy is.
