Yes I am probably as familiar as you are.  I do have some background in law.

 

You need to study International Humanitarian Law, it supersedes the Geneva Convention in many areas.

 

   Did you hear many war crime cases in your U.K Magistrates Court ?

That how these trolls derail a thread, they know if they had to stay on topic with being honest they would have nothing and it's all to easy to be pulled in to their deceptive little games.

There not here to debate the topic Bob just stop feeding them.

Can you name three war crimes that have been committed ?

   Here's a law for you to read .

If a hospital is used for military purposes , then it non longer has protection from attack by the enemy and the attackers just need to give their enemy notice of their intention to bomb the hospital to make the attack legal 

 

Article 19 of the 1949 4th Geneva Convention applies.

The protection to which civilian hospitals are entitled shall not cease unless they are used to commit, outside their humanitarian duties, acts harmful to the enemy. Protection may, however, cease only after due warning has been given, naming, in all appropriate cases, a reasonable time limit and after such warning has remained unheeded.

Correct:

 

"Targeting  hospitals is specifically outlawed under the first Geneva Convention. But even the protection of hospitals is not absolute. If hospitals are “used to commit … acts harmful to the enemy,” then attacks on them may be permitted so long as they follow the rules of proportionality and precaution. "

I have just been reading that Hamas has its headquarters below a hospital, whether true or not it would not surprise me in the least if they did.

In that case, destroying their HQ would be significant enough in most cases to permit targeting it.

If its good enough for Hamas to bomb Palestinian hospitals it should be good enough for the Israelis.

It’s all about proportionality for the Israeli’s  who don’t want to commit war crimes.  Hamas on the other hand are terrorists.  Terrorists are not generally known for following the law..

I should think not.

And at any rate, a very bad PR move, even if they 'don't care' about civilian casualties.

Well, you noticed that the incident referred to was analyzed and researched by several Western intel services (and let's not forget the might NYT!). So maybe in this sense, the world is watching.

  Stop that nonsense , it WAS a failed Hammas rocket that hit the Gaza hospital 

Palestinians were the dishonest liars claiming that it was an Israeli rocket that hit the hospital

I'm just looking at the possible outcome. If IDF ground forces go in; Hezbollah will get involved. Or so they say. Then all hell will break loose.

All hell may depend on things like whether Iran's unstoppable hypersonic missiles work any better than Russia's, which were all shot down by aging Patriot missiles. Gerald R Ford likely has better ones. But any shooting between Iran and the West would be real bad.

What would Iran gain from getting involved in war right now?

 

The economy would collapse. The populace even more restive.

Their pet toy in Lebanon would be crushed.

Both bad for a regime focused first and foremost on survival and maintaining power.

 

On the gains front there's little of real value - other than prestige and posturing.

If they can spin it somehow as to be able to claim some 'win' etc. it should be enough.

 

Doubt they will directly interfere on behalf of Hamas.

Harassing Israel and USA forces by supported outfits, yes.

Isn't a shame Hamas/Gaza started something they could never finish, well isn't it Neeranam...?

After all, the numbers you call up are 100% your chums doing, you start a war, you must be able to finish it, eh, Neeranam.............?

Why would I agree with that rubbish claim that the IDF are state sponsored murderers. So as before trolling for amusement. 

Talking about me trolling whatever that is, you have got a sense of humour or you would not be posting your standard responses that disagree with your side. II have no side, I only look for peace and love.

Nothing changes the IDF are murdering innocent civilians exactly the same as Hamas did on the 7th, except they did it up front and personnel as terrorists bastards do, may they rot in hell or all their virgins have the clap.

It's a War, both sides are as bad as one another for taking lives to further both their useless causes, they must either live together or die fighting.

Ooooh, so now it's your peace and love ............Bwaaaaaaaah, though a good excuse as any, I suppose........😂

But you forgot, Israel had nothing to do with the attack from Gaza, Israelis were doing what normal people do, have a bit of fun and live their lives...You forgot all that...
