"Cutting water, cutting electricity, cutting food to a mass of civilian people is against international law," said EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell in Muscat.

    “Collective punishment is a war crime”. Except for Palestinians and Russians, of course. And anybody we disagree with. Fuck those civilians.

    We are hypocrites. We have double standards.

    I am just pointing it out.

      Can we agree that “not letting people with Russian passport travel in NATO countries”

      And “Slaughtering civilians en masse in retaliation to a terrorist attack”

      Are just a wee bit different as far “collective punishment” goes?

        You missed the point :

        Russia invades and terrorises the Ukrainian civilians. We punish Russian civilians aka collective punishment.

        Hamas invades Israel and terrorises Israeli civilians. Israel punishes Gaza civilians aka collective punishment.

        In the first case we are OK. In the second case we scream at Israel (the OP post) “Collective punishment is war crime!!”

        We. Are. Hypocrites.
