Joins the cinematic “hardest to trademark” pantheon alongside “She”, “Her”, and “Them”

Illegal annexation of the west bank ruled by the UN to be illegal under international law.

Not ruled; advised. ICJ advisories are non-binding. Israel’s annexation of the West Bank, which was ceded to them through negotiated agreement with Jordan, is legal under both Jordanian and Israeli law and no other law applies because no other sovereignty applies.

The ICJ ruling that the United States “unlawfully” annexed Alaska or Hawaii would have similar import: literally none whatsoever. The simple fact is that borders move and land changes hand and the ICJ doesn’t have the authority to say what’s what.

We do not live in a pre world war 2 political order anymore

Israel’s claim to the lands of Judea and Samaria is based on agreements that predate WWII. Israel as a nation is older than several of the countries that make up the European Union, but nobody says that Germany unlawfully “annexed” West Berlin.

Under international law, a people under occupation by a foreign government have the right to armed resistance

Rape and murder of children aren’t “resistance”, hope that helps

What numbers?

Again there’s no source for civilian casualties in Gaza. Any numbers you hear are estimates based on formulas; they’re not tallies of bodies.

The IDF’s estimates don’t make them look “bad.” It makes them look like the most moral, most professional army on Earth.

Why wouldn’t they be at war with Gaza when they were attacked by Gazans?
