    Take your hasbara bullshit somewhere else. According to that same organization you took your definition from, an occupying nation like Israel can not claim self defense when attacked

      Sorry to invade your echo chamber with dissent. It must pain you to be reminded that not everyone agrees with you, that must be so hard for you.

      an occupying nation like Israel can not claim self defense when attacked

      Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. A blockade is not an occupation.

        Say what?

        New York (20 October 2022) – There are reasonable grounds to conclude that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is now unlawful under international law due to its permanence and the Israeli Government’s de-facto annexation policies, according to the first report to the General Assembly issued today by the United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel.

        Oh, I forgor, the United Nations is Hamas now.

          Oh, I forgor, the United Nations is Hamas now.

          Oh no don’t forgor. They’re not Hamas but they do exhibit significant anti-Israel bias.

          Three countries were on said commission of inquiry:

          Navi Pillay (South Africa), serves as chair, Miloon Kothari (India) and Chris Sidoti (Australia) serve as members of the commission

          Many more opposed their methods and conclusions:

          June 2023, United States and Israel joined 25 countries in condemning the open-ended nature of the UN investigation and “the long-standing disproportionate attention given to Israel in the council.”

          But that’s the UN for you, lots of scrutiny and condemnation of Israel, not a peep when Jews are ethnically cleansed from neighboring countries.

            Hmm, I wonder why they’re paying so much attention to Israel. Could it be the apartheid or the human rights violations or flauting of international law?
