Israel suddenly remembers what international law is now they’re the ones being bombed

In a strange turn of events, it seems Israel has realised that international law does, in fact, exist.

BREAKING: There is growing suspicion that Iran used cluster munitions in their attacks against Israel.

Technically, the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) prohibits the use, production, stockpiling or transfer of cluster munitions and requires states to ensure that they claim no further victims.

However, neither Israel nor the US signed the CCM. That might have something to do with them being some of the biggest producers of the weapon. Obviously, the law isn’t important when there is money to be made.

Hey, Eyeball – remember when the United Nations tried to ban cluster munitions and the US and Israel fought against it?

Good times. https://t.co/L3z3cCeEBP

According to Oxford Public International Law:

if widely implemented and adhered to, the CCM will dramatically decrease the harm to civilians caused by cluster bombs both during and after armed conflicts.

Of course, knowing what we know about Israel, it has no intention of minimising civilian casualties

Israel playing the victim

But no matter whether they are illegal or not, Israel does not get to play the victim now that another country decides to play them at their own game.

We have to remember, this is after Israel fired more than a million cluster bombs into Lebanon:

Killed thousands of Palestinian children:

You have no right of mentioning war crimes after killing 200.000 children in Gaza.

Used white phosphorus on Gaza:

Israel has always used white phosphorus on Gaza.

And look who is talking about war crimes. https://t.co/pAej5Sid2y pic.twitter.com/y4yzLBKj5X

Zionists who used internationally banned white phosphorus on the children of Gaza to burn them alive are now complaining about war crimes https://t.co/EUFHTbltiO

Bombed schools, hospitals, health workers and journalists.

Bombing a school in Iran while calling them war criminals is peak Israel. https://t.co/BGVTegFsuF

The country that would never “bomb a hospital” is bombing hospitals again.

Israel only feels alive when it kills.

Israel only feels safe when it’s hated. https://t.co/5w3IZiLhUC

Whilst creating and upholding a system of apartheid for years.

It’s one rule for Israel (and the US) and one rule for everyone else.

the absurdity of these pro-genocide propagandists suddenly caring about “war crimes” isn’t an accident. they know what they’re doing. they just believe that israel should be allowed to commit crimes nobody else can https://t.co/KleJmuBYYC

Of course, Israelis want to talk about the law now bombs are dropping on Tel Aviv.

Oh Israelis wanna talk about the law now https://t.co/Qpe6Hq9CS8

They had zero sympathy when the IDF was carpet bombing Gaza.

International Law died under the rubble in Gaza, and these zionist rats genuinely think they have the right to speak https://t.co/DY9JeUBaEg

Even Mark Carney, the Canadian Prime Minister, agreed that the US and Israel were breaking international law. But of course, because it’s the US and Israel, he’s going to look the other way.

Asked about the illegality of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, Carney admits that “it appears that these actions are inconsistent with international law,” while simultaneously reaffirming that he supports it “in context.” This is not a principled foreign policy, it is a total mess. pic.twitter.com/sjBuhDevZq

Israelis are partying in bomb shelters. Do the people in Gaza, Lebanon, or Iran have bomb shelters? Do they fuck.

Look at this. It’s worse than fiction. They truly don’t care what goes on outside.

And how could they? They’ve had a genocide in their backyard for years now. https://t.co/TDAxXgwGNG

We have watched Israel commit war crime after war crime for two years. The terrorist state expects us to livestream babies being burnt alive, hospitals getting bombed, and journalists running from bullets and look the other way. Meanwhile, they want us to pay attention and join their cries of ‘international law’ when a couple of buildings get hit in Tel Aviv? Or when things don’t quite go their way?

If Israel wants to fuck around, they’re going to find out. And we are not going to have sympathy for them when they do find out.
