Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 8:18am On Jun 27
Take a moment to educate yourself from the below statement:

On November 18, 2019, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo expressed the Trump administration’s position that “the establishment of Israeli civilian 'settlements' in the West Bank is not per se inconsistent with international law.”1 The media inaccurately described this as a reversal of longstanding American policy. In truth, the record is more complicated.

‎Jews have lived in Judea and Samaria—the West Bank—since ancient times. They were prohibited from living in the territories only during Jordan’s occupation from 1948 to 1967. Jews began to settle in the area again after it was captured by Israeli forces in the defensive war fought in 1967.

‎The idea that these Jewish communities are illegal derives primarily from UN resolutions and the International Court of Justice (ICJ), an arm of the UN. The UN does not make legal determinations, only political ones tainted by the overwhelming anti-Israel majority.
The ICJ “does not have jurisdiction over all disputes between UN member-states,” according to the Congressional Research Service. In fact, “with the exception of ‘advisory opinions,’ which are non-binding, the ICJ may only resolve legal disputes between nations that voluntarily agreed to its jurisdiction.”

‎Opinions of the ICJ are routinely ignored by the countries they are directed at, and the Europeans would never accept the idea that they trump the decisions of their judiciaries. Likewise, the United States, Russia, and China never signed the treaty establishing the court and do not accept its jurisdiction.

‎Israel does not recognize the court’s jurisdiction on the settlement issue. Like other democracies, Israel has an independent judiciary. As Pompeo noted, its Supreme Court has “confirmed the legality of certain settlement activities and has concluded that others cannot be legally sustained.”

‎Legal scholars dispute the ICJ opinion that the settlements violate international law. Stephen Schwebel, formerly president of the ICJ, notes that a country acting in self-defense may seize and occupy territory when necessary to protect itself. Schwebel also observes that a state may require security measures to ensure its citizens are not menaced again from that territory as a condition for its withdrawal.

‎Furthermore, UN Security Council Resolution 242 gives Israel the legal right to be in the West Bank. According to Eugene Rostow, a former undersecretary of state for political affairs in the Johnson administration, “Israel is entitled to administer the territories” it acquired in 1967 until “a just and lasting peace in the Middle East” is achieved.

‎The United States has not regarded Israeli settlements as illegal. The oft-cited exception is the opinion of State Department legal adviser Herbert Hansell in the Carter administration. He argued that establishing settlements in the “occupied territories,” which included the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights, is “inconsistent with international law.” This conformed to the views of President Carter at the time, who was critical of the Israeli settlement policy. Legal scholar Eugene Kontorovich noted, however, that Hansell said the state of occupation would end if Israel entered into a peace treaty with Jordan, which it did in 1994. Nevertheless, the State Department never updated the memo.

‎Ronald Reagan rejected Hansell’s opinion of settlements. On February 3, 1981, he said, “I disagreed when the previous Administration referred to them as illegal; they’re not illegal.”

‎Secretary of State James Baker was asked if the Bush administration regarded the settlements as illegal, and his answer was, “this is not our policy.”

‎The Obama policy has also been mischaracterized. Secretary of State John Kerry and President Barack Obama were very critical of Israel’s settlement policy, but Kerry did not call them “illegal”; he said they were “illegitimate.” His only statement regarding their “illegality” was when he mentioned “settler outposts that are illegal under Israel’s own laws.
Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 8:21am On Jun 27
” Obama abstained rather than veto the UN Security Council resolution labeling settlements illegal, which was generally interpreted as an endorsement of that view; however, it did not affect U.S. policy since he left office shortly thereafter.

‎In response to criticism that the Trump administration’s decision on the legality of settlements would harm the peace process, which at the time was moribund, Pompeo said the Carter formulation “hasn’t advanced the cause of peace.”

‎By making explicit that the settlements are not illegal, the United States sent a message to the Palestinians and their supporters that their misinterpretation of international law cannot be used to coerce Israel to capitulate to their demands.
A change in ISRAEL’s settlement policy will only come if that is the will of the Israeli people and advances the peace process.

Re: World News! Events Happening Around The World by HolinessForever: 10:35am On Jun 27
It can now be published:
Hamas killed a dog from the Sting Unit and trapped it with explosives.

The soldiers of the paratrooper patrol, who raided the Jabaliya refugee camp about two weeks ago, sent an attack dog by driving it from the sting unit into a building where terrorists were suspected to be hiding.

Unusually, the dog did not return to the force and no sounds of struggle were heard from inside the building, not even barking.

The fighters returned to the scene under heavy security and mutual cover to collect the dog from the alley - but when they reached the location it disappeared again.

They sent the drone to an adjacent building and discovered the dog again lying on the floor, but this time their suspicion was that the terrorists managed to kill him secretly and quietly, and hide explosive charges under his body, understanding that the fighters would return at some point to collect him.

The force from the paratroopers did not fall into the trap, and managed to identify the wiring that came out of the dogs body .

The arena was safely neutralized of its charges, and the dog's body was respectfully removed for burial in the cemetery of the Sting dogs in the Adam settlement near Modi'in.

What fake bullshit news is this ? There is no territorial conflict between Algeria and Libya. The Libyan army cannot threaten an army like Algerian army . They are already struggling to control their territory and are mired in a conflict between two factions, one in the east led by General Haftar and the second in the capital Tripoli and the west the legitimate government recognized by the international community which have algerian support .
