Would love to see this used in future headlines. "Most moral army in the world kills civilians hiding in a church" or "Most moral army in the world bombs refugee camp" or maybe most poignantly, "Most moral army in the world convicted of genocide"

    Unfortunately the ICJ has no enforcement mechanism. The upshot is that the ICC does, and they're investigating the conflict as well.

    The ICC is also not a UN body and, notably, lacks the membership of the most powerful geopolitical players (the USA, China, Russia, India) as well as much of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

    It's useless.

    If you've been called before a Genocide hearing, you don't have a moral army. Full stop.

    Referring to any group of people who's job it is to kill other groups of people as "moral" seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me. I get that the scale can tip really fucking far to the evil side but how close to the good side is it even possible to get?

    I’m genuinely not trying to be rude with this:

    referring to any group of people who’s job it is . . .

    Whose* job it is

    I see nothing immoral in having an army to defend your country if invaded

    Yeah but Israel is a colony, so they kind of are the occupiers

    Tell that to the hundreds of thousands of Gazans who are starving to death as a result of the actions of the Israeli army.

    "Most moral army in the world?"

    That doesn't even make sense. Just going full trumpian, not only am I not guilty of what you accuse me off, I am the most opposite of that in the entire world. It's about as believable for them as it is when Trump says it. What on earth is their strategy here? I mean rhetorical question I guess, strategy is just spewing BS it seems.

    Something tells me the most moral army in the world wouldn't be part of a genocide hearing.

    Most moral army before and during the war for real. If morals were child murder.

    The most moral army in the world? They use the Hannibal protocols, which say to kill hostages so long as you kill your enemy.

    They are blood thirsty monsters.

    I mean, if they did want exactly this, then they succeeded in opening the eyes of many blind israel supporters. I already knew israel were assholes, but I know much more now. Fuck israel. They've lost the support of young people in the West. They are running out of time to conduct their genocide.
