Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If they don’t have valid proofs than they shouldn’t bomb or support bombing nuclear sites

So just to be clear, you don't have the relevant article of the convention to hand? I'm not an expert, but I did read a copy of it and couldn't find anything that refers to military strikes. I think you've just heard this somewhere and are repeating it, but it's not true - and, when challenged on it, you don't acknowledge it.

International law is clear Israel has the obligation to end occupation unconditionally

Israel's interference with Gaza and its continued occupation of parts of Palestine is not of the same magnitude as Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukraine due to history going back decades.

If it’s not smoke screens Israel would behave more not accelerate genocide.

This assumes that European countries actually have the leverage to make Netanyahu change course. They don't.

And you call me naive.

https://www.iaea.org/publications/documents/conventions/convention-physical-protection-nuclear-material-and-its-amendment

The Amendment to the CPPNM significantly strengthens the original CPPNM in a number of important ways. It extends the scope of the original treaty to cover physical protection of nuclear facilities and nuclear material used for peaceful purposes in domestic use, storage and transport. It also further criminalizes offences related to illicit trafficking and sabotage of nuclear material or nuclear facilities, and it provides for strengthened international cooperation in light of the expanded scope, such as assistance and information sharing in the event of sabotage.

UN experts condemn Israeli attack on Iran and urge end to hostilities

Israel's interference with Gaza and its continued occupation of parts of Palestine is not of the same magnitude as Russia's invasion and annexation of Ukraine due to history going back decades.

It doesn't matter the different history and circumstances. All it matter is that Ukraine is occupied by Russia and Israel is occupying Palestine. Yet you make all kind of BS excuses to Israel.

This assumes that European countries actually have the leverage to make Netanyahu change course. They don't.

Another stupid excuse. Those countries signed the Geneva convention and the genocide convention they have the obligation to cut ties with Israel, the international law doesn't give a damn about the excuse "Oh, we couldn't do better so we can't be blamed". Yes Europe has the power to heavy sanction Israel itself and stop selling them any kind of military equipment's and it's part

From the amended text of the Convention:

The activities of armed forces during an armed conflict, as those terms are understood under international humanitarian law, which are governed by that law, are not governed by this Convention,

This Convention shall not apply to nuclear material used or retained for military purposes or to a nuclear facility containing such material.

And this is why I stand by that tongue-in-cheek reference to the ICC. International Law is complex and your assertion that Israel broke it by striking Iran is worth nothing compared to the opinion of experts. Your quoting of them is noted.

Another stupid excuse.

You said that the actions were "smoke screen" because they hadn't caused Netanyahu to act. When I pointed out they don't have the power to make him act, you only say they are obliged to by international law. I agree that they are, but can we agree then that your assertion that Netanyahu's lack of response doesn't have any bearing on whether the actions of European leaders are, in fact, steps in the right direction?
