(5,397 posts)Wow. Do you know what a crime against humanity even is? What, praytell, do you find Israel guilty of that falls under that category? Systematic rape? Genocide? Enslavement?
Now then, as far as "international law" goes, while there are certainly some who disagree, most impartial legal observers are in agreement that the blockade is perfectly legal. As is the occupation in the west bank. Can you even name what statute is being violated? Generally speaking, occupations and blockades are not illegal.
I notice that you still aren't touching my main point with a ten foot pole. Not that I blame you. I've seen your type a million times before. You demand that Israel make all kinds of concessions with the promise that if only Israel would do what you say, everything would be fine. You hold Israel to an impossible standard and whenever Israel does take a step in the direction you advise, and it turns out to create more terrorism and bloodshed, you are then the first person to scream and pout that Israel has no right to defend itself against the violence created by instituting your ideas in the first place.
You are a perfect example of the "Israel can do no right" crowd. When faced with evidence of the fact that Israel is held to a double standard you simply ignore it and refuse to answer. See, that is why you are prattling on about gravel while ignoring the key issues I raised several times already. I suppose discussing anything more relevant than gravel makes you uncomfortable. If I were trying to defend your POV I would be careful not to veer away from gravel-related discussions either.
