Which part of the Geneva Convention specifically?
- netsharc 2y agoNot the Geneva Convention: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/sep/18/the-guardian-view-on-israels-booby-trap-war-and-unacceptable https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/sep/18/the-gu... > a global treaty came into force which “prohibited in all circumstances to use booby-traps or other devices in the form of apparently harmless portable objects that are specifically designed and constructed to contain explosive material”. Has anyone told Israel and its jubilant supporters that, as Brian Finucane of the International Crisis Group points out, it is a signatory to the protocol? Specifically it's probably this one: https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/atrocity-crimes/Doc.40_CCW%20P-II%20as%20amended.pdf https://www.un.org/en/genocideprevention/documents/atrocity-... But oh well, it's fine if it's Israel doing it, and any protest against it is anti-semitic and supporting Hamas and the killing of more Jews! /S "'War crimes' are defined by the winners": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiKFAwiKjBo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiKFAwiKjBo

- lagniappe 2y agoOvertly it has rules. Covertly it does not. You fund cells and terrorists to do it for you.
- floydnoel 2y agoindeed, war couldn't happen without rules. training, marching, maneuvering, following a battle plan- these all require discipline and rules to be effective. if there were no structure, no rules, it would just be fighting- like animals. it could never reach the level of war. that takes human ingenuity!
- echoangle 2y agoThe surprising thing is that there are rules between the parties. Of course every army has rules internally, but having international rules everyone is bound by isn’t obvious.
