Israel’s decision to deprive Palestinian civilians living in Gaza of access to basic needs violates international law, former Human Rights Watch chief Kenneth Roth said.
“In the realm of humanitarian necessities, the Israeli government has imposed a siege on all of Gaza,” Roth said in an interview with Al Jazeera.
Roth, who now teaches at Princeton University, added that the atrocities committed by the Hamas armed group against Israeli civilians do not justify the “revenge” and “collective punishment” against Palestinian civilians.
“A basic premise of international humanitarian law is that war crimes by one side never justify war crimes by the other. There’s an independent obligation by both sides to respect the laws of war.
“It increasingly does look like the Israel military is proceeding without adequate care to spare civilians. And that kind of indiscriminate and disproportionate attack … is in itself a war crime.”
Reports of Russia’s Wagner fighting for Hamas in Gaza, along with providing intelligence, planning, and weapons. Israel overreacts, causing mass civilian casualties. Russia then uses this as propaganda to justify their civilian slaughter in Ukraine. While Iran, who has provided weapons and support to Russia in their war against Ukraine, sits back and plays the plausible deniability game. It also uses up munitions and supplies that otherwise would have gone to Ukraine.
This is a coordinated play by the China-Russia-Iran axis. WWIII has begun.
Do you happen to have any source for these reports?
There is no source because they made it up. The closest thing I could find is this https://news.yahoo.com/wagner-mercenaries-involved-training-hamas-145700770.html Which states wagner group may have trained Hamas fighters according to this report https://sprotyv.mod.gov.ua/instruktory-pvk-vagner-gotuvaly-hamas-do-ataky-na-izrayil/
It’s an interesting theory. Big if true. It just seems far too risky when you know most of the western world still supports Israel.
Though if you can pull it off, wow, and they could probably have predicted that it would cause a lot of internal division among Americans which only benefits Russia.
