    Laws, international or otherwise, don’t mean shit unless someone with the power to enforce them is also willing to enforce them.

    Defund Israel and let them answer to their neighbors on their own. We get nothing from them but headaches and guilt by association. Our funding makes us complicit in their nonstop atrocities. End this grotesque, valueless, one-sided relationship.

    Nooooo, you’ve got to be kidding, you’re pulling my leg! A western colonial power didn’t respect international law? I’m shocked! Flabbergasted even!

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    “The firing at civilians, in this instance clearly identifiable journalists, constitutes a violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006) and international law,” the Unifil report said, referring to security council resolution 1701.

    He said the general staff’s fact finding and assessment mechanism, which is responsible for reviewing exceptional events, would continue to examine the incident.

    Reuters’ editor-in-chief, Alessandra Galloni, has called on Israel to explain how the attack that killed Abdallah, 37, could have happened and to hold those responsible to account.

    The Unifil report was sent to the United Nations in New York on 28 February and has been shared with the Lebanese and Israeli militaries, two people familiar with the matter said.

    For its investigation, Unifil sent a team to visit the site on 14 October, and also received contributions from the Lebanese Armed Forces and from an unnamed witness who was present on the hill when the strikes occurred, the report said.

    The group of reporters had been filming cross-border shelling from a distance in open area on a hill near the Lebanese village of Alma al-Chaab for nearly an hour before the attack.
