The world should stop Israel and Hamas from committing war crimes

 

ISRAEL RESPONDS TO HAMAS CRIMES BY ORDERING MASS WAR CRIMES IN GAZA

Years of impunity for Israeli crimes against civilians have bred a culture of disregard for international law.

Gallant said that he had ordered “a complete siege of the Gaza Strip,” which is home to 2.2 million Palestinians, nearly half of them children. “There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed,” he said. “We are fighting human animals, and we act accordingly.”

What Gallant ordered — the collective punishment of a civilian population — amounts to a war crime under international law, as well as potentially a crime against humanity and the crime of genocide, some international law experts have pointed out. 

Hamas and Israel’s crimes against civilians, which are likely to escalate in the coming days, come after years of impunity for Israel’s crimes against Palestinians. The historical lack of accountability has bred a culture of disregard for international law that directly resulted in the weekend’s violence, human rights advocates say.

“Deliberate killings of civilians, hostage-taking, and collective punishment are heinous crimes that have no justification,” Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. “

Experts have noted that Israel’s practice of “warning” civilians — like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s call on Gaza’s residents to “leave now because we will operate forcefully everywhere” — is not sufficient. There is nowhere for people to seek safety in the strip, one of the most densely populated areas in the world, since Israel imposed an air, land, and sea blockade on the territory in 2007, effectively trapping them in. 


War crimes fall under the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, which, in 2021, opened an investigation on war crimes and crimes against humanity in the occupied Palestinian territories. The investigation prompted fierce opposition by Israel and the United States — neither of which are members of the court — and it has largely stalled.


While both parties committed heinous crimes, Gallant’s call for a complete siege on Gaza revealed the underlying imbalance at play: While Hamas’s attack shocked Israelis and the world and amounted to the most serious attack on Israel in five decades, it paled in comparison to Gallant’s threat to starve 2 million trapped civilians. “This is why this never was and never will be a ‘war’ of equals,” media critic Sana Saeed noted on Monday. “Because one side has the power to entirely eliminate an entire population, to control whether they live or die.”

ハマスの戦争犯罪に対して大規模な戦争犯罪で仕返しをしようとするイスラエル。

完全封鎖　電気、食料、燃料を枯渇させるのは戦争犯罪。空爆前に警告してもガザで逃げる場所もない。

ハマスとイスラエルでは戦力の差は歴然。後者はガザ全部の人間を抹殺できる戦力がある。

イスラエルの悪の所業をお咎めなしに放置したことでイスラエルは国際法軽視するようになったのだ、と。

 Can the world stop Israel and Hamas from committing war crimes? 7 questions answered about international law

2021年の記事だが参考になる。

First is the principle of distinction, which obligates warring parties to distinguish between civilians and military targets. Each side can attack only those objects which by their nature, location, purpose or use would offer a definite military advantage if neutralized.

Second is the principle of proportionality, according to which any unavoidable “collateral damage” – such as civilian deaths – cannot be excessive in relation to the direct military advantage anticipated.

Finally, there’s the principle of precautions in attack, which reaffirms the obligation of warring parties do everything feasible to mitigate civilian harms

１）民間人虐殺　２）　比例原則　過剰な巻き添え被害　３）　攻撃まえの警告しない

などは戦争犯罪になる 

It is a common U.S. stance in Israel-Hamas conflicts to require equality in language on “both sides.” But congressional progressives in the Democratic Party now take a different view. They insist that the U.S. must recognize the power imbalance between Israel, a U.S.-funded military superpower, and Gaza, an occupied territory.

米国は両国を平等に非難すべき、と傾きがちだが、戦力の非対称性にも着目すべきという意見も。

Yes, they both ratified the Geneva Conventions, but not their additional protocols. Nonetheless, the international community widely recognizes the rules set out in these agreements as customary law, and they are therefore binding on all countries regardless of whether they signed on.

米国もイスラエルもジュネーヴ諸条約の追加議定書 (1977年)に署名していないが、慣習法なので拘束力はあるんだ、と。

The world overlooked the Nazis’ actions towards the Jews because the Nazis held power. Similarly, Israel’s actions against the Palestinians go unchallenged because of Israel’s power. It’s hard to fathom how people can mirror the very aggression they endured and impose it upon others, rather than choosing kindness

The main difference is that the oppressed very sadly became oppressors.


Tarek Abdalla

I think you mean similarity? Oppression and ethnic cleansing.

 Hamza Ali Joiyah

Well, they were wrong then are wrong now. Pretty consistent I'd say. They just changed which genocidal maniac they stand behind.

変わってないじゃないか、虐げられてユダヤ人が虐げるほうにまわり、ドイツは民族浄化する側を支援しているという意味では一貫していて相変わらずではないか、という投稿も。

法人税率を下げると賃金が上がる

Indeed, higher wages were supposed to be the main benefit to the broad public of a tax cut package that otherwise was heavily tilted toward the rich and inflated the national debt.

賃金はあがってきたのか？

But, to date, those predictions have mostly failed to come true.

いままでほとんど上がっていない、と。

 

法人課税に関する基本的な資料

日本でも法人税はさがっているけど、賃金はあがっていないんじゃ？

How would such a tax law work? In one approach, firms could earn reductions in their tax rate for annual wage increases above a certain base rate of wage growth, with tax cuts growing larger as wage growth rises.
賃金上げた企業の法人税を下げるようにすればいい、と。
Of course, some companies might respond to tax cuts for higher pay by gaming the system. They might lay off some of their lower-wage workers, or turn them into independent contractors, to raise the average pay of those still on their payrolls. 

そうすると低賃金の従業員はクビにしたり、従業員雇用しないで個人事業主に請け負わせて企業の賃金を上げたことにして法人税減税の恩恵を得たりする企業がでてくるかもしれないが・・・・それはそれで政府が対処すればいい。

Right now, we’re not sure how much companies would respond to these kinds of tax incentives by raising worker wages. But, given the costs that wage stagnation now imposes on American workers, and our overall economy and politics, it’s worth a shot

どうなるかわからんけどやってみる価値はある、と。

ーーーそれでうまくいくかいけばいいが・・・・
