  1. Presumedly those killed alongside a Hamas terrorist are family and friends of that individual. Plus of course other civilians in the immediate vicinity. Given the Israelis claim they have superb intelligence for targeting one assumes those authorising a strike will have a good idea on the number of non militants will be killed / injured. I seriously doubt the killing of non combatants in the current conflict will ever receive justice. One only has to read some of the comments on this forum to ascertain the complete indifference to the killing of Palestinian civilians who have no choice whatsoever on where they stay. e.g. so called safe zones are regularly attacked with numerous civilians killed every day. If only the politicians can take one step beyond!
  2. You're ridiculous to claim knowing what's in my mind. All the rest of your post is well know, really don't see the point in repeating content that's been reported many times. The contention is Israeli ongoing killing and destruction in Gaza and West Bank. As the saying goes you cannot kill an ideology. Personally I strongly disagree with the ongoing killing and destruction by Netanyahu as he appears not to have any solution to a decades long co0nflict other than killing which will not bring about a lasting peace; especially with the continuing expansion of settlements in the West Bank.
  3. I was referring to the Israeli Far Right and Netanyahu
  4. Thanks for clarification, I wonder if the figure includes Hamas non combatants such as nurses, doctors territory administrators and so on. I assume people have to be a member of Hamas to get a government job, I do not support terrorism, no matter the source, How about ceasing your personal attacks, it's childish and boring
  5. Both Germany and Japan were occupied, personally I don't believe Israelis will occupy Gaza or all of West Bank. How many German / Japanese's nationals were executed / imprisoned for war crimes - very few
  6. Would be interesting to get the Israeli figures of Hamas fighters killed. Israelis always claim they know what they're targeting so shouldn't be that difficult.
  7. Sure. Israelis are strong, but thank goodness they have a tough opposition to Netanyahu.
  8. Area bombing of Germany commenced 1942. Luftwaffe bombing of UK was already less intense in 1942. As to your personal comment - assumptive nonsense. But we are going way off topic so time to cease this dialogue.
  9. Release of hostages is with Netanyahu ownership, plenty of Israelis are claiming he is delaying release for his own political interests i.e. continuing attacks on Gaza and West Bank.
  10. As already stated, it's the issue of proportionality which is being questioned by many in the international community and within Israeli society. We all have different positions on morality and ethics in war, personally I believe a official kill ratio of 1:20 is overkill and will act contrary to Israeli long term interests. Surely the blood lust of revenge should be sated by now. One has only to view the hatred on the faces of Gazans after a bombing pulling dead civilians from the wreckage..
  11. At one stage Harris authorised "area bombing", another term used was "terror bombing' i.e. deliberate bombing of civilians, the objective being to weaken the morale of the German people, which was a failure as was the German bombing of UK civilians.
  12. 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"
  13. Actually Churchill did question the morality of terror bombing - from memory one of his quotes is "have we become beasts"
  14. Correct: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/03/israel-gaza-ai-database-hamas-airstrikes
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Have tried some links, none worked on this platform. Type the OP title into your browser, should be OK
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. 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. .
  23. 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.
  24. 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.?
