Gbadebo19:

It should be like this: Rather than tactically abandon an argument you are on the brink of loosing by making it a joke on Mr. Gbadebo, why not tell us if Hamas is the internationally recognized government of Palestine?
Thank you very much. I have been in courts and read legal provisions more than you. I have a better understanding of it more than just the English language sentences you take it to be? Have you ever attended court sittings? Do you know what is called interpretation of statutes.
It really isn't your fault, since Nigeria operates more on "who you know" rather than meritocracy, it is alright for people like you to feel offended and classify superior arguments as derogatory remarks. You can also soothe your sifia pains because your terrorist family members are getting slaughtered in Israel.
Does it even not strike a question in you?
1. Why are other surrounding Islamic nations not taking the so called innocent Palestinian women and children as refugees?
2. How much in aid has Saudi Arabia, UAE, Yemen, Russia and China donated to the Palestinian cause?
The day you give a justifiable answer to these questions is the day your redemption begins.

Let's talk lawyer to lawyer(as you claim to be)

1. Apart from the US, israel and very few of their allies, how many Countries in the world officially designate Hamas a terror organisation, for you to term them "Internationally recognised" as such? Hamas isn't even listed by the UN as a terror group and neither by most countries of the world

2. David Cameron, the immediate past UK Foreign Secretary, during a hearing before a committee of the UK Foreign Office acknowledged that Palestine was under Occupation and that israel is an occupying power. Cameron accepted that israel had "the right to defend itself" but not the right to resist occupation inherent in International law and this points to the hypocrisy of the UK's terror designation, because Hamas' resistance as an occupied people is legitimate in International law, hence the hollowness of the designation

3. For cross reference, look up United Nations resolution no. 3103 of 1973, Resolution 2625 of 1970( Protocol I on the Declaration on Friendly Nations, the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions

4. You've argued that the PA is the Internationally recognised Palestinian Government. My response is that the PA is recognised as the official representatives of the Palestinians, Hamas is acknowledged and recognised by most as the defacto Government of Gaza. The PA doesn't exercise authority over Gaza, so that argument is weak

5. The International Criminal Court(ICC), which has jurisdiction over Palestinian territories, has charged israeli decision makers in the ongoing killings with; (1) The deliberate targeting of the civilian population, (2) The use of starvation as a weapon of war among others, over which it seeks their arrest warrants. You claim that International Humanitarian law only applies to Countries and not terrorist groups, but both entities are bound by it, i.e. whether as State or Non-State actors. See Article 1(4) and Article 96(3) of the Additional protocol I, Article 3 and Additional Protocol II, all of the Geneva Conventions and it's Additional Protocols

5. The UN Special rapporteur on Palestine, Francesca Albanese, who's an International Human Rights Lawyer and Specialist, has concluded in her report that israeli actions in both Gaza and the West Bank has reached the threshold of Genocide. She outlined all the elements in her special report: 'The Anatomy of a Genocide Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967'. The Special Rapporteur is an independent expert commissioned by the UN to investigate israel and Palestine

6. The Highest Court in the world, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has found that there's a 'plausible and probable case of genocide' by israel against the Palestinians and has allowed the application go to trial. The same ICJ has in a ruling in July, reiterated that israel is in Occupation of Palestine. From a legal perspective, this gives Palestinians legal justification for all acts of resistance 'in all its forms' , as provided for in International Law

From the points above, your arguments stand on no legal legs. Please If you're to respond, do so as a lawyer by citing legal authorities to back up your claims as i've done

I can't type very very long things, so I will be posting my replies one by one.
The United States and the whole of the EU recognize Hamas as a terrorist organization. This is asides Israel, Canada, Australia etc.
For the purpose of understanding, we can ask: How many countries recognize Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. But we all know that Boko Haram is or was a terrorist organization.
Going by that logic, we can safely say that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
I have a question at this point as lawyer to lawyer (as you claim to be of course grin grin)
Is IPOB a terrorist organization? If yes, how many countries recognize it as such?
If No, tell me how it isn't. I will be back.

Now to your number 4. You said the PA is merely the official representative of the Palestinians and that the PA doesn't exercise authority over Gaza. We shouldn't even argue this cos how would Hamas, who merely won legislative seats in 2006 or was it 2007 oust the PA from power. It is without logic to oust someone from power if they do not exercise authority before. What are you now ousting and from what are you ousting them. If PA was not exercising authority over Gaza, then there would be no reason to oust them since they didn't have that authority before. To Hamas being recognized by most as the defacto government, I don't know what you mean by most. If it is the Palestinians, then we need to talk about legitimacy in government. If the military suddenly seize power in Nigeria and the citizens do not do anything probably out of a lack of will or manpower, it doesn't make them legitimate.

Since nairaland is just a forum built on gathering traffic in order to justify ad revenues, it won't ever take any action, nairaland needs people to be in conflict to increases the revenue of seun. I suggest we build a blog, in there we can have control over the trolls and the playground "geniuses" who pollute by reducing the level of discussion.

Lethal weapon as used means any weapon capable of causing mass destruction. It could be chemical, biological or nuclear. In such a scenario, there is the exception to principle of proportionality and the military doctrine of necessity overrides the principle of proportionality. For a comprehensive understanding, you can check out Article 51 (5) (b) of Additional Protocol I of the Geneva conventions. Thanks

As for your point number 2, I don't know and I have not seen or heard Cameron, so I will presume he said it.
But let's go back in history.
The areas called Palestine today was biblically known as Judea. It was renamed as Palestine by a Roman emperor named (Hadrian) in order to wipe out every trace of Jewish history.
And no, don't get it wrong, the Palestinians of today are not the biblical Philistines or jebusites or ammonites that the biblical Jews conquered. Those ancient tribes have morphed into other tribes and do not have a distinct identity as of today. Based on the foregoing, i do not see Israel as an occupying power. Some elements are just banking on the ideas of the Jewish anti-zionists who believe they have not reached the primised land. Since when did the opinion of a few become the deciding factor?
I will not make a comment on Cameron statement cos I have not seen or heard him and this, cannot judge the context in which he was speaking.

Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian elections and appointed Ismail Haniyeh, who Israel murdered, as the prime minister.

The US, EU, and Israel, who had all initially agreed that the election was peaceful suddenly started to discredit it and refused Haniyeh to become Prime Minister.

They tried organising another election, but backtracked after their analysis revealed Hamas was going to win again.

So, they started to arm and train Fatah to fight against Hamas.

Hamas won that battle and kicked Fatah out of the Gaza strip. That was how Hamas gained control of the Gaza strip.

I love the way the Russians simply focused on their quest in the Kharkov and Nicholaiev directions, refusing to pull troops from the south to attack the Ukrainian Kursk suicide mission grouping currently running amok over there. What they thought or expected to be a distraction for the Russians, is now slowly turning to be a blessing in disguise because the Ukrainian sham offensive in Kursk means less men to defend from the Russian attacks on most of the fronts. The Russians are now taking territories at much easier speed compared to the square meters they were taking before the Ukronazi Kursk suicide mission.

Now, it's making more sense. One Russian artillery man told a news source that the Russian authorities got wind of the planned Ukrainian Kursk incursion before it happened. The fact that they still allowed it to happen speaks volume. And when you consider how they're responding to it (tacitly instead of frantically), one tend to believe what the artillery man said. But, what is the Russian end game in this? Is it to lure Ukro troops from their defense lines and make the Russian objectives of taking targeted territories more attainable? Or to form another meat grinder deep inside Russia, which would be easier than Bahkmuth because the Ukros would have huge problem supplying their units in Kursk once the Russians turned around to face them squarely? Or is Russia purposely encouraging this Kursk incursion to drain Ukraine of its remaining best fighting force and then open another front? Russia still has a huge force sitting in Belarus and another in the Zaporozhia direction. Whatever the endgame might be, one thing is certain, Ukraine will never come out of Kursk in good shape.

The suicide squad will be wiped out one way or the other, it's like running into the military barracks and screaming because the brigade is out fighting.

"We're fighting over nothing.

We're fighting over pride and fear of Russian and Chinese 'empires'—BRICS taking over the economic world.

Well, that's happening, and it will happen, and nobody's going to stop it unless you go to war.

Unfortunately, America should not go to war for trade, ever.

Economically, we may end up as number two, we may end up as number three, we may end up dropping back, but we're alive and we're part of the world.

I don't see what's wrong with that.

We don't have to be the bully.


We don't have to be the dominant factor.

We talk about a hegemonic world where the United States is in control—that's not realistic anymore.

The world is multipolar, and unfortunately, we haven't been able to accept that.

I don't understand why we can't accept it unless you're some kind of frozen conservative in this country who sees any foreigner as a danger.

I think the problem is the United States has got to educate itself."

The United States is the one being aggressive here, blowing up pipelines, trying to subvert Russia at every turn, and now China with trade.


But Russia is my main concern because I can see it coming.

I see the commitment that's grown in this country towards Ukraine, which seems to me unthought, not reasoned out, not thought out.

America has committed itself to this NATO-isation of Ukraine, which makes no sense considering the history of NATO and the 1990 agreements.

Those agreements were not drawn up, but they were talked about.

America committed to those agreements Baker, Bush, and also Shultz.

They said that the United States would agree that if Germany were reunited and East Germany was let go and became part of NATO, that would be okay.


But the understanding was that there would be no more NATO expansion east of Germany.

And that’s what happened.

The next U.S. administration, Clinton, broke that promise.

Over the next 20 years, they absorbed 13 new countries into NATO, pushing right up to the border of Russia.

You couldn't be more naked in your aggression—like putting missiles right into Canada or Mexico.

This is what they're doing.

Ukraine has been warned; that was a big point, a red line for Russia.

They said no NATO in Ukraine.


And even today, Blinken, the Secretary of State, made this comment again: 'Yes, we're committed to bringing NATO into Ukraine as soon as possible, and with all the modern equipment we're going to put into Ukraine.'

That's more or less what he said.

Thank you very much—that really helps the situation.

It's the most vulnerable point for Russia.

They don't want the United States breathing down their neck on all sides, and that's what they have.

So they're very sensitive about this, and they fought for it.

They warned us, and they did go to war over it.

We didn't listen because we're very arrogant.

We don't listen to Russia.

We don't even talk to Russia right now."

What I don't understand is why people would try to look more educated than they are online. Are we offering a job which requires them to polish their CV for us ?
Dumb people seem to often think they have fooled everybody, Gbadebo, the "genius" who doxed himself and then started trying to solve his murder still thinks he's intellectually relevant.
