No. That is called group punishment, if it is done by a military group,
otherwise it is just murder. Both are against international law, but
then Israel does a lot that is against international law: ethnic
cleansing, cluster bombs against civilian populations, trying minors as
adults, expansionism through force, unlawful killings, torture,
extensive and wanton destruction of property, obstruction of medical
assistance and targeting of medical personnel, and use of human shields,
just to mention a few. I understand that if Israel will give the
resistance fighters their F-16 jets, the resistance fighters will give
Israel their baskets.
Resistance fighters, are identified by resisting an occupation and
attacking military targets. That may include all the illegal
"settlements".
Security Council Resolution 1322 (2000), paragraph 3: "Calls upon
Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal
obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention
relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in a Time of War of 12
August 1949;..." Again, the Security Council vote was 14 to 0, becoming
obligatory international law.
The Fourth Geneva Convention applies to the West Bank, to the Gaza
Strip, and to the entire City of Jerusalem, in order to protect the
Palestinians living there. The Palestinian People living in this
Palestinian Land are "protected persons" within the meaning of the
Fourth Geneva Convention. All of their rights are sacred under
international law.
You will note, no where have I said Jew. That is because there a plenty
of Jews who oppose Israeli policy. This is a matter of Zionism against
civilization.
