Topic: What laws would you follow when fighting a terrorist organization like Israel? (Read 66 times)

I voted "Our own red lines regardless of what the terrorists do".

It because Palestine is a country, while Israel isn't a country, that's why they don't understand the red lines and do anything they want. The weird thing is US not sanction Israel because they broke the laws, while they sanction Russia for invaded Ukraine.

If Palestine do the same thing like Israel, I'm sure they will play victim by saying Palestine broke international laws and should receive punishment for that.

After all life is transitory, while afterlife is eternal.

These international laws were enacted to protect innocent citizens from the devastation of conflicts. It was designed for soldiers to face soldiers and not attack civilians. But the US, which claims to be the custodian of human rights, is conniving with a barbaric nation to undermine these laws. Nevertheless, we shouldn't act inhumanely because a set of people choose to behave like wild animals. It might be painful to see you people being slaughtered, and you still decide to abide by the rules of engagement. But I still think that Hezbollah shouldn't cross the red line.

You cannot win a war by killing civilians. An example is the failure of Israel in Gaza. The three goals they claim they want to achieve have been a failure. They wanted to destroy Hamas, free hostages and change the government but they have achieved none.

With the tensions rising between Lebanon and the Israeli terrorists, I recently read an interesting analysis that got me thinking about the "Red-Lines" that are and aren't crossed during an armed conflict. There are a bunch of them defined in the Geneva Convention. Like not attacking civilians, hospitals, reporters, etc. But that's for countries that accept the international law and Geneva Convention not terrorist organizations like ISIS, Israel, Al-Qaida, etc. There are no red lines that these terrorist groups won't cross. Over the past year we've seen how the Israeli terrorists constantly target civilians, slaughter reporters and their families, take hostages and rape them, bomb residential areas, bomb refugee camps, attack international aid workers, etc.

Here is the million dollar question: What red lines should we not-cross when fighting such terrorist organizations that break all international laws?

The analysis I mentioned above was giving a summary of all the strike that the Lebanese Resistance called Hezbollah has carried out against the Israeli terrorists over the past year. Every single one of them were on military targets without any exceptions.
On the other hand, majority of the strikes carried out by the Israeli terrorists have been on civilian targets in south of Lebanon. They've bombed villages, residential areas, apartment buildings, etc.

Fast forward to 6 days ago, 2024-09-17 https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/back-to-cold-war-days-us-regime-carrying-out-terrorist-attacks-against-civilian-5509508
A large scale terrorist attacks on Lebanese civilians using their electronic devices (cell phones, laptops, pagers, time attendance devices, electric vehicles, etc.), carried out by the Israeli terrorists with the help of the US regime. Nearly 4000 civilians were injured and 42 people including children were murdered.
This was followed by increasing number of bombardments of residential areas in Lebanon by the Israeli terrorist air force over the past couple of days. The casualty report is currently 325 civilians murdered and 1200+ wounded due to Israel's acts of terrorism.

Again in response, Hezbollah has increased the depth of the attacks, the scale, number of projectiles used and the quality of them. But once again every single target they hit is a military target! Ramat David Airbase and Rafael facilities are burning as we speak. This is exactly why the only casualty report you'll hear out of Israel is when their air-defense fails and for example a Tamir interceptor missile goes crazy and hits a target on the ground under itself.

So I ask again, What laws would you follow when fighting a terrorist organization such as Israel that is ONLY targeting civilians? That's a tough question, isn't it?
