Couldn't tell ya, I'm not an ideologue
I don't really know what to say other than to offer some advice that the Palestinians might want to reconsider their threats of going to war with an armed force that is, uh, well, armed
Better than being a collaborator and traitor. BTW they do have the right to self defence. Oddly enough they seem to be the only ones capable of standing up to Israel. Canada certainly never has, the US certainly never has even with many events like the Liberty. What you won't find is authorization for Israel to do what they have been doing for the past 70 years. It can only be determined how deep you have their dicks down your throat.
Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article 51
Article 51 provides for the right of countries to engage in
self-defence, including collective self-defence, against an armed attack.
“ Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security. Measures taken by Members in the exercise of this right of self-defence shall be immediately reported to the Security Council and shall not in any way affect the authority and responsibility of the Security Council under the present Charter to take at any time such action as it deems necessary in order to maintain or restore international peace and security. ” This article has been cited by the
United States as support for the
Nicaragua case and the
legality of the Vietnam War. According to that argument, "although South Vietnam is not an independent sovereign State or a member of the United Nations, it nevertheless enjoys the right of self-defense, and the United States is entitled to participate in its collective defense".
[8] Article 51 has been described as difficult to adjudicate with any certainty in real-life situations.

Let's see what brave and noble deeds Israel has been up to.

Israel won't be happy until all of Gaza looks like this and if you think Israel will stop there you are as stupid as you appear to be.
Even with being the only ones with weapons it still takes 4 to control a blinded man, he is probably dead by now or being tortured by 'the experts'.
Amnesty International: Israel Remains the Occupying Power in Gaza and is Thus Bound By the Law Of Occupation
Here is an insight into your dark soul and you should really be there doing what you can now only applaud.
Amnesty International: Israel Remains the Occupying Power in Gaza and is Thus Bound By the Law Of Occupation
(in part)
Article 42 of the Hague Regulations defines occupation: “Territory is considered occupied when it is actually placed under the authority of the hostile army. The occupation extends only to the territory where such authority has been established and can be exercised.” In interpreting this definition with respect to particular situations, the notion of “effective control” over the territory in question is central. In cases where the occupying power has withdrawn its forces from all or parts of the occupied territory, but has maintained key elements of an occupying power’s authority, this retention of authority can amount to effective control. In such cases, occupation law, or at least the provisions relevant to the powers it continues to exercise, continues to apply.
***
[Israel] remains the occupying power in Gaza and continues to be bound by the law of occupation, particularly as regards the powers it continues to exercise. ***
This means that Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip must be governed by the Law of Occupation, as well as the rules of international humanitarian law on the conduct of hostilities and international human rights law. The inhabitants of an occupied territory are entitled to special protection and humane treatment. Among other things, the rules prohibit the occupying power from willfully killing, ill-treating or deporting protected persons. The occupying power is responsible for the welfare of the population under its control. This means it must ensure that law and order is maintained and basic necessities of the population are provided for.
Israel has chosen not to fulfill many of its positive obligations as an occupying power. But this does not negate the existence of these obligations. At the very least, it is incumbent upon Israel not to actively obstruct relief for the civilian population of Gaza. Its military blockade, which has continued for over seven years, and goes well beyond reasonable security measures, is contrary to its obligations as an occupying power and constitutes collective punishment.
First they commit a war crime and then try and deny it, too bad that is their normal MO rather than it being a rare mistake. What a bunch of low-lifes and all who support them.
‘The Tank Shells Fell Like Rain’: Survivors of the Attack on UNRWA School Report Scenes of Carnage and Destruction | The Nation
(in part)
At least sixteen Palestinian refugees seeking shelter were killed, more than 200 were wounded.
Khan Younis and Beit Lahia, Gaza—Hussein Shinbari is the only member of his family that survived the attack on a United Nations school in Beit Hanoun on Thursday. He is covered in blood. His undershirt, his pants and his hands are all stained a deep red.
After Israel launched its ground invasion into Gaza last week, the Shinbari family left their home in the northeastern town close to the Israeli border and sought shelter at the nearby school. “They told us it was safe,” Hussein says, sitting on the ground by the morgue of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahia.
More than 1,500 displaced Palestinians were staying at the school. The conflict has caused unprecedented massive displacement in Gaza, forcing over 140,000 people to seek shelter in more than 80 UN shelters.
On Thursday afternoon, the people in the Beit Hanoun school were told they were being transferred to another area, away from the shelling and clashes on the streets outside. According to multiple survivors, they were instructed to gather their scant belongings and assemble in the schoolyard to await buses that would take them to another shelter.
At around 2:30pm a barrage of artillery shells crashed into the school, according to witnesses. At least sixteen people were killed and more than 200 wounded, many of them women and children. Hussein lost his mother, his stepmother, his sixteen year-old brother Abel Rabo, his 12 year-old sister Maria and his nine year-old brother, Ali.
“I was the only one who walked out,” Hussein says. He helped carry his dying family members to the ambulances that eventually arrived. “I’m not asking Hamas or Fatah for anything,” he says. “I only have God left.”
The Israeli military says Hamas was firing rockets from Beit Hanoun and that it had told the Palestinian refugee agency, UNRWA, and the Red Cross to evacuate the school. Yet UNRWA spokesman Chris Gunness says the UN had asked the Israeli military for a lull in fighting to allow for an evacuation but did not hear back. Gunness says precise coordinates of the shelter had been formally given to the Israeli army. The attack marked the fourth time a UN facility has been hit by Israel since the conflict began on July 8.
