You bolded the wrong part. The "Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Cooperation among States" (DPILFRCAS) main point is to "refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State." Hamas and the People of the Gaza Strip do many things, but that is not one of them. The DPILFRCAS is all about peaceful solutions, and not war, or terrorism.
(COMMENT)The Blockade is also collective punishment and a war crime.
One can, from a humanitarian point of view, consider the blockade as "collective punishment" where the idea is that the innocent are punished right along with the guilty. Yes, that is --- in the adversarial form, a side to be argued. But one could also argue, from the prosecutorial perspective, that the People of the Gaza Strip knowingly and actively support a terrorist state that organizes, instigates, facilitates, participates in, finances, encourages or tolerates the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the recognized State of Israel (in the first count). And further, the People of the Gaza Strip knowingly finance, encourage, and tolerates by allowing its territory, which it has placed at the disposal of another State (Iran), to be used by that other State (Iran) for perpetrating an act of aggression and terrorism against a third State (Israel). (Second Count) The People of the Gaza Strip knowingly engage in the illicit procurement of small arms and light weapons (SA/LW) from a third party state currently under UN Sanctions (Iran - known to support terrorist campaigns) for the purpose of engaging the sovereignty of Israel. (Third Count)
Collective Punishment is not always a "war crime." It may be entirely appropriate to consider multiple conspirators under the same measure of justice. The Gaza Strip is a territory that is entirely populated by criminals and terrorists, or those that either encourage or directly support the criminal activity and terrorist action of a known terrorist organization (Hamas). The People of Gaza are the people behind a state which they encourage to sponsor terrorism.
But the blockade is not intended to be punishment at all. The blockade is a crime prevention countermeasure to the impact of the criminal activity and terrorist action supported by the People of Gaza. The blockade can be lifted by changing the behaviors of the People of Gaza and their support for Hamas.

You crack me up with that territorial integrity of Israel thing. Israel sits inside Palestine with no land or borders of its own.
Hamas are not terrorists in Palestine where they were elected. That is just a "western" name calling thing.
What Tinmore calls borders are demarcation lines. This map shows how the world sees Israel with the unresolved borders (demarcation lines) of Palestine inside Israel. The outer borders of Israel aren't going to change but the demarcation lines could grow (or shrink), depending on Palestines actions.SherriMunnerlyn; P F Tinmore; et al,

Israel is a member-state of the United Nations, and has peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. On another note, if Hamas would take over all or part of "Palestine", how do you know they wouldn't set up yet another Muslim theocracy, and shoot themselves in the foot, like what just happened in Egypt, Libya, Yemen and other Arab countries in the Arab Spring movement? Syria's civil war has just spilled over into Lebanon, and 80,000 ppl have just been slaughtered over there, and the only time you ppl woke up over that, is when 40 murderous Syrian soldiers were taken out by Israel. BTW, the ppl in Israel are very productive. They are doctors, teachers, and architects, and don't spend their whole lives on a message board.
"...later in the article..."Carroll began joking about the widespread concern about Shariah, the religious code that governs Muslim civil and political life.......'We tried to downplay Shariah, because we didnt want to give the other side any excitement for being here,' he said."
When you even say the word Shariah, people get nervous. We are not advocating for Shariah. 'We are not trying to make Shariah the law of the land,' he said. Carroll claimed Muslims only want the 'right to practice our faith.'"
Gaza: Hamas Proposes Penal Code Forcing Sharia Law on All Ga... - Care2 News NetworkAnd Shariah has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. Nor do your Photos.
Oh yeah? Ask Tinmore what he thinks, Dumkoph.No interest in Zionist Propaganda. Reality is Shariah is the law nowhere in Palestine.
And Shariah has nothing to do with Israel and Palestine. Nor do your Photos.
Perhaps you can have your Palestinians friends tell the King of Jordan that his family didn't deserve to get 78 percent of the Mandate and that 78 percent should have been used for a country for the Palestinians (even though there never was a country called Palestine in history). After all, look at the huge amount of Palestinians living there now.You crack me up with that territorial integrity of Israel thing. Israel sits inside Palestine with no land or borders of its own.

I guess the poster would prefer Palestine was like the US and developed nuclear weapons they dropped on two cities in Japan, like Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Well, what I say to this poster is a people having a nation does not require that nation become what he or any other person wants them to become. It is not for me or him to dictate what nations make of themselves.
Sherri
Do you actually think that most people are interested in your propaganda? I wonder if anyone remembers the name of the C.A.I.R. leader who said that Islam isn't here in America to follow the Constitution, but Sharia Law. Maybe Frau Sherri can find out what his name is.No interest in Zionist Propaganda. Reality is Shariah is the law nowhere in Palestine.
(COMMENT)The Blockade is also collective punishment and a war crime.
(COMMENT)I am not addressing what the Blockade is from a humanitarian standpoint. I am saying it is an act of collective punishment under the law, international law, unlawful and a war crime under The Fourth Geneva Convention.
ICRC Home GENEVA CONVENTIONS said:The Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols are at the core of international humanitarian law, the body of international law that regulates the conduct of armed conflict and seeks to limit its effects.

(COMMENT)If intl law is not to be upheld with respect to Israel, then we might as well get rid of all if it. Lets just start WWIII right now and get it all over with, do away completely with the rule of law, end our existence now. Better that then our nation endlessly inflicting terrorism and occupations on the rest of our world and its inhabitants.

Peel: The Royal Commission said:Manifestly, the Commission wrote, the problem cannot be solved by giving either the Arabs or the Jews all they want. The answer to the question which of them in the end will govern Palestine? must surely be Neither.

The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 said:The Arab-Israeli War of 1948 broke out when five Arab nations invaded territory in the former Palestinian mandate immediately following the announcement of the independence of the state of Israel on May 14, 1948. In 1947, and again on May 14, 1948, the United States had offered de facto recognition of the Israeli Provisional Government, but during the war, the United States maintained an arms embargo against all belligerents.

I must have missed a news report somewhere. Didn't Hamas just install Sharia law in Gaza, Sherri? - Jeri

SherriMunnerlyn; et al,
Now this is an interesting scenario.

The very idea that the International Community would tolerate Hamas, or Fatah, developing a WMD would ridiculous as well.

No one want to light the Middle East or Persian Gulf on fire. But if the fire starts, it will (most likely) be from the arsonist within, and the Arab/Middle Easterner that suffers the most.

The Allied Powers don't care if the Middle East nations and cultures want to stay in the 6th Century of un-enlightenment. Just as long as they don't pose a threat to anyone and don't become a nuisance. They can stone all the women they want, chop all the hands off they want, cut all the throats they want, destroy every monument of historical interest they want. I don't care; we don't care. As long as they play in their back yard and don't create a regional or international threat.
