Israel-Palestine-Jordan
The wonderful world of 'rules-based'

Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets

Russian bloggers are sure acting like idiots when it comes to Israeli's right to self defense.

You know it isn’t fair for the Juices to defend themselves. Mark Twain observed it when he visited the Ottoman Sultanate over a century ago. One doesn’t expect Christian Russians to follow the lead of Moslems, but The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was published at about the same time.
Should American press secretaries begin their press conferences by reviewing the news for their press secretaries so that they do not lack information?

It seems to me that the sign language interpreter answered everything honestly, with facial expressions and gestures, to the Pentagon representative’s comment about Israel’s attack on the Jebali Palestinian refugee camp:

Earlier, IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht confirmed that Israel struck the Palestinian camp to allegedly destroy one of the commanders of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas.

As Al Hadath TV channel reported, the number of dead and wounded due to a series of Israeli Air Force strikes on Jebaliya exceeded 400. That's all. And no problems. 400 civilian refugees against 1 commander. If he was even there. And no sanctions, trials or exclusion from the Olympics. A wonderful world "based on rules."

This is classic chutzpah. That is, super-arrogance, super-obsession, which is beyond the understanding of normal people who don’t understand how one can lie so openly and brazenly. In face. Not at all embarrassed. When just in a similar situation you said exactly the opposite.

If, in front of this press secretary, a representative of an “exceptional” and “God’s chosen” nation kills a child, then this press secretary will still talk about the “lack of” information. However, as we notice, everything related to Russia, Iran, North Korea, China and a number of others does not require any additional information. The verdict will be instant - “Guilty”! Even if it is later confirmed one hundred percent that the accusation is wrong.

How is this useful to us? Because there is nothing to listen to their babble at all. You can't trust a word about anything. They will only perceive the language of force when they perceive a real threat to themselves. We need to mind our own business, and perceive these people as incompetent and insane. Not a single document signed with them is worth anything.

P.S.
The girl who asked the question should have chosen the wording differently, asked: “Are deliberate and targeted attacks on refugees in military conflicts a war crime?”
If the defender places non combatants in a zone knowing it will be attacked by their enemy certainly is a war crime, by the defenders. Them's the rules.

The Russian ministry of defense well knows theses rules when it comes to their own actions.
