| 4. Israel is special |

they can violate Resolutions
Security Council Resolution 242 Security Council Resolution 446 among over 50 other resolutions and stuff like The Fourth Geneva Convention, which is a cornerstone of international humanitarian law that ensures minimum protections for civilians in armed conflict and occupation. It forbids, among other things: the construction of settlements on occupied land, unilateral annexation, willful killing of civilians, collective punishment, torture, and the destruction of property without a compelling military reason. It also requires judicial accountability for those who commit war crimes (defined as “grave breaches” listed in Article 147 of the Convention). The Convention fully takes into account military necessity and cannot be violated for “security” reasons. But hey, they're special, unlike those brown skinned folks.  |
