Israeli military loosened rules of engagement at start of Gaza war
simple1 replied to simple1's topic in The War in Israel
Exactly how many Israelis US citizens have been arrested, charged and jailed under Rule 14 None? In other words the relevant government would not cooperate with any party wishing to prosecute their military. Again it is not a false claim of a 1:20 ratio of permitted killing. You easily access the article to confirm contents e.g. via Reuters. Pray tell which International Court can arrest US / Israelis on their home territory. Yes, of course it's likely, subject to politics, to ne arrested on Signatory counties soil. No more to and fro as Mod will come along and stop the discourse i.e. "bickering" -

Actually Churchill did question the morality of terror bombing - from memory one of his quotes is "have we become beasts" -

Again disagree. Where in international law does it state an acceptable ratio of one enemy dead to 20 civilians is OK. As I understand proportionality is the guiding rule, w1:20 is not proportional. Splitting hairs; as a non signatory the citizen on that country can only be arrested in a compliant jurisdiction. -

It is not a false claim when IDF knowingly kills civilians. However, as with the USA the Israelis are not a signatory (no surprise) to the relevant treaties so will never face judgement by an International Court for War Crimes. -

Rules of engagement permitted killing 20 civilians for one Hamas member, I call that deliberately killing civilians, probably would also be defined a War Crime. -

Have tried some links, none worked on this platform. Type the OP title into your browser, should be OK -

Harris carried out carpet bombing (terror bombing) to specifically target civilians, some accuse the Israelis of also deliberately targeting civilians, including the subject OP. Churchill noted carpet bombing did not break the will of the German people, which was the intent, presumably the same applies to the Israelis. -
Immediately after the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by groups of Hamas-led gunmen, the military granted mid-ranking officers the authority to strike a wide range of military targets where up to 20 civilians risked being killed, the newspaper said Israeli military loosened rules of engagement at start of Gaza war, New York Times reports

Trump needs to Offer Asylum to Refugees from Blighty
simple1 replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
Any country that elects the likes of trump - Never. Would of thought the opinion piece from the same source would be of more interest for the MAGA types to rant about. A new report from the MCC Brussels warns of an escalating constitutional crisis in Poland under Prime Minister Donald Tusk. It details a coordinated assault on the rule of law that threatens to undermine democracy and judicial independence. https://brussels.mcc.hu/news/new-report-exposes-donald-tusks-anti-democracy-handbook -
Britain’s Sharia Courts and the Challenge of Religious Freedom
simple1 replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Did you read the content of your link? e.g. Sharia councils have no official legal or constitutional role in the UK. Their work consists primarily of adjudicating on religious divorces, usually at the request of women. They may also give verdicts on other aspects of day-today life, for example on Sharia-compliant finance or on halal food.4 It seems some of these Councils /Courts exceed their remit, Councils exceeding their remit HMG need to remove the decision maker / makers by enacting legislation. IMO such legislation is also well past due for Cannon Law, Jewish religious law and so on. I have observed the successful outcome for Muslim women requesting divorce in Thailand. Accordingly it's a matter of appointing the 'right' people, not those pandering to prejudices. . -

No requirement for me to answer your demands. However, yes I am aware of the abuse as well as abuse by non Muslims. Ranting about it on this forum makes zero difference - why not return to the UK or wherever and work for a NGO or in Thailand for NGO for abused women - plenty of abused women in good old Buddhist Thailand. -

Snipped for brevity. Again Sharia Council judgements are not enforceable under UK Law. You've never had a "bit on the side" or used the services on a working girl Mr Squeaky Clean.? -

Why on earth would you work for 20 years in MENAN. No doubt you have observed many negatives , but nothing to do with the OP. You would know or should, all the issues you talk to are created by Man. -

Actually a good move to contribute to cohesion, same as the Thai Constitution. The Thai King actually has an officially appointed Muslim Adviser (The Grand Mufti of Thailand) https://riyadh.thaiembassy.org/th/page/29025-muslim-in-thailand-2?menu=5d80b46615e39c0a50006465 -

If true, then HMG is failing in it's responsibilities, though I understand additional legislation is under review in Parliament. But in the meantime Sharia Law does not condone abuse of women, that action is done my ignorant / misogynistic men. of whom more than a few on this forum. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a750e8040f0b6397f35d531/6.4152_HO_CPFG_Report_into_Sharia_Law_in_the_UK_WEB.pdf -

You fail with comprehension. BTW I have never, repeat never, attempted to excuse or justify abuse of women. Accordingly cease your misinformation / lies. -

I have repeatedly informed you I am not a socialist. However, I know Americans from posts on this forum and others, (if you are one) have a rather distorted comprehension of the "left' Again, as I have posted a few times I vote either centre left or centre conservative depending on manifesto. -

'UK Courts do not legitimise abuse, nor does Sharia Law. If a Sharia Court actually is proven to legitimise abuse it would be a member of the Court acting contrary to Sharia Law who should be ousted by the community. -

@thecyclist I will not replace your Islamophobic graphic which demonstrates extremist messaging from the Far Right. However, my point was you're claiming Muslims will not intergrade into UK society which is total rubbish. The vast majority working in the professions as well as day to day jobs, vote, educate their children in UK schools and so on. It's people like you who manifest hate that contribute to division and conflict in the UK and elsewhere -

The issue is often cultural in that the victims of abuse won't access law enforcement, but there are some NGOs who specialise with support services for Muslim women. On the other side of the coin Sharia Law does provide for women's inheritance, in fact centuries prior to being introduced into Christian societies. https://www.mwnuk.co.uk/mwn-helpline#:~:text=Muslim Women Network&text=We have set up and,on a range of issues. https://www.alislam.org/articles/do-women-have-an-unfair-share-in-inheritance/#:~:text=The Quran states%2C “And those,4th of the inheritance. -

Understood, but as said has no standing in UK Law. It's a long term project to integrate the Muslim community (especially women) into UK society. Efforts so far have been rather dismal, more resources are obviously required for domestic abuse which is a world wide problem.
