In reply to the discussion: WHO says Israeli forces hit its staff residence and main warehouse in Gaza [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(104,216 posts)The OP is about "WHO says Israeli forces hit its staff residence and main warehouse in Gaza".
You posted "If, on the other hand, their employees decide to remain in a war zone after repeated warnings to evacuate, they are, according to the Fourth Geneva Convention, the responsibility of Hamas:"
and then quoted to Geneva Convention
"ART. 29. The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected
persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them
by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may
be incurred."
So, you wanted to talk about a "responsibility" of a party in a conflict for "its agents" and their treatment of "protected persons". The protected persons here are the WHO staff and families, and the treatment is the bombing and arresting. The agents are the IDF. That much is obvious to everyone, I reckon. But it's also obvious that the IDF are agents of Israel (government or state, if there's a difference).
So I replied "If that paragraph were relevant, then you would be calling the IDF the agent of Hamas". Notice the "if" at the start of that. It's obvious that the IDF is not an agent of Hamas, so I continued " I assume you're posting stuff at random.". Now it seems that you were posting nonsense on purpose, just to manufacture a nonsensical argument, since you've got nothing else.
You appear to be trying to start a clabby conversation, as defined by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd:
