International law regards military blockade as an act of war.
They are at war. Rest is pretty much useless as in real life these agreements and conventions only work when the stronger party enforces it, which isn’t happening here. What is written on some paper and how real life works are two very different things.
I should mention again that I’m not trying to defend Israel, just telling you the brutal truth that things written in geneva convention do not work in real life if the stronger party refuses to play by it, just like UN is often meaningless if US has veto power and does what it want, or ICC that can’t do anything meaningful because states have threatened to take forceful action against them if they attempt to actually arrest someone from said country. We of course love yelling these things at countries doing shitty things, makes us feel better and puts us on the morally correct side, especially against Russia with thousands of war crimes, but what does that change if there is no one that can enforce said laws? You wanna go to russia and arrest Putin? Didn’t think so. Empty words. Evil does not care about your signature.
I’m just tired of Israel finding new creative ways to commit war crimes, and we are all sudently acting like doing so was always normal.
Of course Israel gets to have a blockade… even though doing so to stop AID is a war crime.
same with how normalised every single war crime they commit, which they literally come up with names, like Dahia doctrine, mosquito protocol, where’s daddy…
Fully agree. I’m just in this state of “what’s the point, laws no longer work, conventions no longer work, UN is useless, etc.”. At this point the only hope here is if the governments around the world en mass seriously starts getting involved, but even that is mostly word exchanges.
