@oatmeal @academicchatter @israel @palestine 'posthumously recognised as an IDF casualty'.
The Israeli military dress up as doctors to murder patients in a hospital, force Palestinian hostages to wear IDF uniforms and act as human shields, and now claim to posthumously alter the legal status of a putative civilian who was potentially damaging cultural heritage.

Documenting arbitrary executions, deliberate starvation & systematic deprivation of shelter, medical care, and other essentials by Israeli forces in northern Gaza.
The 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, unanimously adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, creates a positive obligation on all nations to prevent genocidal violence, an obligation which almost every nation is currently failing, with some being directly and actively complicit to greater or lesser degrees, via providing weapons and diplomatic support to Israel even as the slaughter continues.
Whether there shall remain any shred of international humanitarian law left after the Gaza genocide is a question increasingly likely to be answered in the negative, a casualty of this horrific crime that even all those willing to consider Palestinians as less than fully human will come to regret in the lawless days ahead.

Based on previous experiences with displaced populations, 500,000 or more Gazans could die of preventable diseases in the coming months due to illegal Israeli destruction of the health system and forced mass displacement.

For centuries people have debated: "is it ethical to steal bread if your family is starving?".
