earthling<p>What is clear is that as Israel decimates Gaza and kills tens of thousands of people, it is also attempting to recreate the norms of war-making and significantly transform interpretations of the laws of armed conflict.</p><p>If Netanyahu and his government succeed in rendering Israel’s version of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proportionality</span></a> acceptable among other state actors, then the laws of armed conflict will end up justifying rather than preventing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/genocidal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocidal</span></a> violence. </p><p><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/</span><span class="invisible">15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a></p>
earthling<p>“If you do something for long enough, the world will accept it. The whole of international law is now based on the notion that an act that is forbidden today becomes permissible if executed by enough countries.”</p><p>Colonel Daniel Reisner</p><p>In other words, the way we calculate <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>proportionality</span></a> is not determined by some a priori moral edict but rather the norms and customs created by militaries as they adopt new and most often more lethal forms of war-making. </p><p><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/</span><span class="invisible">15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span></p>
Eric Maugendre<p>"The Principle of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Proportionality</span></a>, codified in Protocol I Additional to the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Geneva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Geneva</span></a> Conventions, defines as disproportionate any attack in which the incidental damage to civilians is excessive in relation to the military advantage anticipated from the attack. However, it is close to impossible to pinpoint exactly what is meant by “excessive”. This writer posits that this vagueness is not a coincidence, but rather a tool, serving the purposes of attacking states."</p><p><a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=908369" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf</span><span class="invisible">m?abstract_id=908369</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.coop/tags/IHL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IHL</span></a></p>
