yeah, your understanding might be slightly more fine grained than mine, that tallies with recollection
We also did not sign the mining related war restrictions.

I dont know the particulars.
I just know it is always brought up during these labor intensive de-mining operations and when people get their appendages blown off years after from a conflict long forgotten about.
How Israel’s Army Uses Palestinians as Human Shields in Gaza - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
Some of the soldiers who saw or participated in the practice found it deeply troubling, prompting them to take the risk of discussing a military secret with a journalist. Two were connected to The Times by Breaking the Silence, an independent watchdog that gathers testimony from Israeli soldiers.
Two soldiers said that members of their squads, which each comprised roughly 20 people, expressed opposition to commanders. Soldiers said some low-ranking officers tried to justify the practice by claiming, without proof, that the detainees were terrorists rather than civilians held without charge.
They said they were told that the lives of terrorists were worth less than those of Israelis — even though officers often concluded their detainees did not belong to terrorist groups and later released them without charge, according to an Israeli soldier and the three Palestinians who spoke to The Times.
Why present factual reporting as opinion?
Faced with its own journalistic integrity, the NYT its pants again.

Response to Recent Criticisms on New York Times Opinion Essay | The New York Times Company (nytco.com)
Attribution to Kathleen Kingsbury, Editor, New York Times Opinion.
A recent opinion essay gathered first-hand testimonies from 65 U.S.-based health professionals who worked in Gaza over the past year, who shared more than 160 photographs and videos with Times Opinion to corroborate their detailed accounts of treating preteen children who were shot in the head or chest. Following publication, some readers questioned the accuracy of the accounts and the authenticity of three CT images shown. Those criticisms are unfounded..
Times Opinion rigorously edited this guest essay before publication, verifying the accounts and imagery through supporting photographic and video evidence and file metadata. We also vetted the doctors and nurses’ credentials, including that they had traveled to and worked in Gaza as claimed. When questions arose about the veracity of images included in the essay, we did additional work to review our previous findings. We presented the scans to a new round of multiple, independent experts in gunshot wounds, radiology and pediatric trauma, who attested to the images’ credibility. In addition, we again examined the images’ digital metadata and compared the images to video footage of their corresponding CT scans as well as photographs of the wounds of the three young children.
While our editors have photographs to corroborate the CT scan images, because of their graphic nature, we decided these photos — of children with gunshot wounds to the head or neck — were too horrific for publication. We made a similar decision for the additional 40-plus photographs and videos supplied by the doctors and nurses surveyed that depicted young children with similar gunshot wounds.
We stand behind this essay and the research underpinning it. Any implication that its images are fabricated is simply false.
Watchu gettin so upset about son? Starving your enemy is a legit old war tactic. We used on the injuns boy.
Besides, you voted for this and plan to vote for it again so stop your phony moral outrage. And don't try the Israel just won't listen to us crap, they're our proxy not the other way around.
Trump is still selling US policy

Geneva is still the law in the US and Israel, and the decent opinion of mankind still counts for something.
Genocide is brutally effective in the short term, but the perps rarely live it down in the long run.
I don't think the Palestinians would agree that you feeling bad about what you voted for counts for something.
We did. Israel will just need to say they feel bad about the genocide and maybe build some Muslim casinos in the neighboring countries.
Regardless, too late to stop it now. Your hand wringing won't help at all. Elections have consequences.
Theres a higher chance Israel will cease to exist in the coming months.
Not the orher way around.
I mean sure they will take all gazan and west bankers with them but theres still tons of Palestinians in Jordan , Lebanon, Syria and Egypt that would easily recolonize New Palestine.
Israel Project which is a pet project of first UK and inherited by USA will collapse. Its just a matter of time. Theres just no substance to this project anymore.
You cant have a country where most of the people will eventually leave out of fear and exhaustion.
The other Muslim countries don't seem to care too much. , even Iran is trying their best to stay out of it. I don't think we're going to let them but we'll see.
You have a number of thoughts about me, none of them particularly accurate, and your take on the war is pretty shallow.
What you call hand-wringing I would call straightforward description.
It's genocide. The US, Israel and Germany are directly responsible. The world won't soon forget.
Good news Winehole...
U.S. demands Israel allow humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing military support

Bibi has to feed them within 30 days or we won't give him anymore bombs to drop on them. Can't be blowin up hungry people, that just ain't right, you gotta give them a sandwich first.
Only thirty more days to starve 300,000 people...how sporting.
I tend to doubt this warning will be heeded, or followed through on. I'd love to be wrong about this...

Netannazi is in charge of the US forcws right now.
Iran is already involved. They already destroyed high value targets at Israeli air bases. That is why we deployed the THAAD radar (our most precious ISR asset) to make up what Israel already lost
Its not a matter of IF but WHEN Israel will attack Iran. And Iran will respond.
Then all bets are off and Middle East will go ip in flames and take barrel of oil to $400 obliterating rhe worlds economy.
At that point we will most likely start looking for a way to ditch Israel and let it fall. Because it would be either that or total nuclear war.
Israel will be ditched by us uust like we ditched all our other pet projects eventually
