So not related to 10's of thousands of civilian deaths at all?


re ... 10's of thousands of civilian deaths at all..."

Would be a large percentage of Hamas fighter s too.


So, collective punishment, further making the ICJ and ICC cases.


No, but deliberate exaggeration of number of civilian deaths


All indicators are that it's a dramatic undercount of both total deaths and obviously civilian deaths.

Total deaths of up to 400,000 are now being put forward with persuasive rationale. That Israel will not allow external parties in firmly places the burden to disprove on them. Propaganda whitewashing of deaths is not acceptable.

Quote:

Referring to Israel, Salam said he would work to “impose the complete withdrawal of the enemy from the last occupied inch of our land”.

Hardly an unbiased choice to lead the ICJ.


Very interesting choice of yours to omit the context, in which Hezbollah also drew his ire. Surely a coincidence and not a product of bias, though, right?


It's fine for him to talk how he wants, it's not fine for him to be the person in charge of investigating Israel if he considers it to be the enemy.

And if he considers Hezbollah the enemy, he should not be investigating them either.


Good news, he isn't; he resigned in order to take his appointment as the Lebanese PM, in which capacity he was speaking in the article you linked. Any more thinly veiled ad hominems you'd like to throw around?

A separate set of recommendations for anyone sincerely making this argument:

The article gets some minor biographical details wrong but seems well supported otherwise, however it does describe Israeli roadblocks to the mission.
