The Israeli government have put out a powerful statement accusing the Geneva Convention of being a secret member of the terrorist organisation ISIS.

This comes following criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza, which many experts claim directly break the Geneva Convention in regards to collective punishment of civilians. However the Israeli government has disregarded the convention claiming that any suggestion that no civilians should be killed in war is a direct attack on Israel’s right to defend themselves from random civilians in hospitals.

“What Hamas did was inhumane,” said one Israeli government official, “they killed many of our civilians and that is why no one should even think to suggest that we don’t need to kill way more uninvolved Palestinians and cut off millions of civilians from the basic necessities to live. Clearly the only reason one could question that is if they are literally ISIS!”

“People keep talking about the kids in Palestine who are dying, but some of those kids have been seen near some extremely dangerous rocks and rubble. They and everyone else at their school are probably a part of ISIS too. That’s why we need to fight their rocks with drone strikes.”

“Also, if you read this Geneva Convention, you will see that no where does it specifically condemn Hamas by name. It may as well say ‘we love terrorism’ at this point. Shame.”

Following the statement the US, UK and Australian government’s have all condemned the Geneva Convention and have pledged their uncritical support for Israel defending themselves against the Geneva Convention, as well as any civilians that Israel will claim are being used as ‘human shields’.

    I had to check what community I was reading this, not only because such statement is absolutely nuts, but because there’s a pretty high chance that it would be said in real life.

    This is so accurate, it’s like people’s brains can’t hold more than one truth at the same time: That Hamas’ actions in Israel when they briefly invaded and how they use Gaza’s citizens as meat-shields against an enemy they know doesn’t care about their well-being all for PR are messed-up and against international law, and Israel’s ethnic cleansing in West Bank and its current targeting of civilian infrastructure and use of banned white phosphorus are messed-up and against international law. And how the latter government uses the unconscionable suffering of its people’s grandparents and great-grandparents at the hands of Nazi Germany as a weapon to shut down even good-faith debate abroad is insulting and also messed up. Cowardly terrorists vs. cowardly terrorists
