    I don’t fully agree that Israel is violating international law. When a country’s existence is being questioned by Iran or Hamas, it’s not so easy to respond strictly within the framework of international law,

    So if you read international law strictly, it is a violation of it she just disagrees with? She was imo better than our current ICC-ignoring Merz, but come on.

    People should reflect how they reacted to this article of Germany’s options to develop nukes from 3 months ago. While seen as “scummy”, I doubt anyone would accept a preemptive strike on countries doing what the article calls “nuclear hedging”.

      Imagine instead of asking a lawyer or a judge or a jury in court we would go and ask politicians whether they think someone did or did not break the law. Would be a very different world than the one we have now. And not in a good way.
