That’s not really true though, most dictators are hired to fix something and end up wildly inept at it. Hitler was meant to get of immigrant labor and fix the economy, he ruined the economy and didn’t really succeed at the immigrant thing to get just suddenly became free extremely expendable labor and the test he have to friends that wouldn’t raise a stink an not how badly he’s fucked them up.
They’re almost to a man extremely convincing and personable liars.
Oh yeah there’s still active labs there.
That’s not the issue though I think most people think it’s gross because it was specifically done to get as many progeny as possible. I’m not arguing he’s a racist or bigot but the quiver full mentality is specifically racist.
They shouldn’t have, almost all of los almos involved with the Manhattan project are secured but free to access by the public in large part.
Israel is using human shields to hide their way assets, they themselves say it is both legal and necessary to strike these target regardless of civilian casualties to root out idf fighters from civilian areas.
Their bullshit really aught to bite them in the ass.
Iran has the right to self defense just like Israel, so are they not now justified in killing 30x as many civilians like Israel does?
Sure that doesn’t actually negate what I’ve said though.
Pretty much yeah, a dirty bomb is usually better used as an actual bomb. If you just want to kill a bunch of people rapidly in terrifying ways then gases are your best guess. Almost all the real bad ones are shit you can just make yourself if you have the base chemicals. Phosgene gas for one is available commercially for industry. Colorless with a benign smell but fatalities are often long after exposure so you could start a pretty rowdy leak in a population center and unless they’re a WW1 vet most aren’t likely to know the smell. You’d have a ton dead near instantly and a lot of people going home and living their lives for up to like 5 days and all of a sudden you get real bad and drop dead kinda out of the blue.
A. The first quoted section is providing past practice not current.
B. They weren’t suspected of carrying contraband, they were boarded and none was found and yet their property was seized and they were then trafficked through multiple countries against their will.
B². Point to where it says they could seize a ship and take it as prize that was not caught with contraband.
C. Your second quoted section provides no relevant reason to capture a neutral humanitarian ship.
So Israel claims, they also claim they aren’t murdering people and yet there’s these piles of murdered people all over the place.
It’s a political stunt, not about actually delivering aid effectively.
Correct! The thing they announced was to draw attention and test it the blockade was legal in court like was done in 2019 was indeed to do exactly that! That said if you didn’t know in 2019 they boarded a ship and murdered 9 people it’s quite lucky nothing similar happened this time.
It is. Did their ship get to shore, are their doctors doing doctor things in hospital (tents) in Gaza? Journalists doing journalism on the ground? No? Then they are preventing aid. Blockades are for security, what security risk is it to Israel for these people to get there on a ship Israel themselves searched and found no contraband nor combatants? None?
That’s how a blockade works. You even sourced your own contradiction, the blockade *must" be maintained by force a blockade that isn’t adequately enforced is not a blockade. You announce intention slow to boarding speed and make way to your destination until ordered to slow and be boarded to enter.
Yes, Israel specifically has not accused them of that nor charged them with anything that could be construed as such.
Can’t let civilians simply sail straight into a combat zone in a foreign country either.
You yourself provided the source that says they can be boarded and searched, at no point does it say they can be barred entry nor taken as prize when on humanitarian mission.
You’d cheer a hospital ship being seized, the doctors deported and they’re supplies seized?
Correct.
Whomever, it’s so hard to keep track now that they’re picking fights with all their neighbors.
They’re just not that useful they were a boogie man to hunt terrorists and later testimony came out that basically said it was all made up to hunt terrorists.
Hamas? No no, Israel detonated disguised pagers in civilian population centers to get “Hamas” people. Mostly in countries they aren’t at West with either, fun isn’t it?
Combatants and neutral ships that breach exclusion, again Israel isn’t even claiming that’s what happened so why are you?
I’m not because they haven’t, there’s a man made famine at the moment hence all the starving children.
USCG merchant definition:
The term “commercial vessel” is defined by the United States Coast Guard as any vessel (i.e. boat or ship) engaged in commercial trade or that carries passengers for hire.
It is not involved in trade nor available for hire. You should read once ever.
You just didn’t read it.
Your own source says visit and search, not capture and take as a prize, you’ll notice that’s reserved for combatant ships not neutrals outside of the exclusion zone.
Similarly the source your source cites specifically and in multiple lays or that humanitarian aid is a different beast and indeed blocking aid makes a blockade illegal.
Dirty bombs really aren’t the issue everyone wants them to be. If you have enough to make a meaningful dirty bomb it’s more rational to refine it and make an actual nuke.
Hilarious of you know that the Chinese government is a separatist entity from the governing body in Taiwan that is indeed the former chinese government.
