Viciousness regnant: humanitarianism as a weasel word : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 14/11/2023

R2P, as it came to be known by the technically minded and those sweetly watered by the conference set, has had an abysmal record.

When you get Iran, Hamas, and other militant terrorist groups to act in humanitarian ways, perhaps this rubbish in rubbish out ramble may have some impact/relevance.

Hamas brought this reaction on their heads.

I would have used the army and sleeping gas to knock out and separate Hamas from their human shields, with the least possible collateral damage.

In my view, that would qualify as humanitarian.

Yes, for sure Israel does not come out of this lily white. But with the illegal settlements, land grabs and restricted movements, they all but created Hamas and the other terrorist groups.

If they would end this eternal bloodletting, they need to sit down with the PLO and negotiate a two-state solution all can live with.

It would not be unreasonable to compare them with Herr Hitler's dreaded SS! Given what they have dished out to Palestinians!
