Current WAR CRIMES Israel - Hamas Conflict

[DapperDon]

Not to mention the fact that Hamas & Hezbollah have official terrorist organisation classification. It is also important to note that the Arab League also classifies Hezbollah as a terrorist group.

Nobody is denying they are terrorists, it's weird you keep bringing it up.

Yep, worth considering that 100+ countries regularly vote against Israel but USA vetoes every vote. It's not International Law but rather US and Israeli 'law'.

False.


There are plenty of security resolutions that the US does not veto.


Here's a list of some (but no means all) UNSC resolutions against Israel that the US either abstained from or voted for:

It's not being brought up. The discussion is over what and who is legally classified as terrorists. It is significant that the Arab League also classifies Hezbollah as terrorists.


Other posters seem to be happy to go off "the vibe" for their own classification but I myself prefer to stick to factual information.

Not sure it makes Israel's atrocities any less atrocious if they're not 'officially' classified as a terrorist organisation. If you're spending your time doing things like decimating civilian areas with intense bombing campaigns, slaughtering women and children, and detonating mobile devices in uncontrolled and unknown spaces, you're a terrorist organisation. We just deem it different when the military of a nation state is doing it for <reasons>.

You might be happy to do that but there are legal distinctions between them.

Israel is not a proscribed terrorist organisation, if what they're doing probably looks like it.

Absolutely spot on.

Yes, there have been plenty of resolutions since that the US has either voted for or abstained from against Israel.



And it is absolutely relevant to your claim that the US always vetos resolutions against Israel. Which is clearly not true.

'if what they're doing it looks like it' means they're doing terrorism.

The technicalities matter if you want to try and see criminal acts followed through on for accountability.
