UNESCO Passes Resolution Critical of Israeli Conduct in Jerusalem and Gaza

no Arabs chose to leave.

nobody chooses to leave their home unless there is a threat or danger

 

you specifically said "the Nazis were Zionists and wanted all the Jews to go to Palestine"

those are your specific words

 

the words "article 2" is not mentioned there
the words "Israel" is not mentioned there

So you have not proved that article 2 / Geneva Conventions do not apply to Israel

 

You need to take the UN, the UNSC and the ICJ serious.
They all say the Geneva Conventions apply.

And their rule is LAW
The opinion of the Red Cross is not.

 

The Arab leaders and international press. at the time of the independece war say something completly different.

Please read Page 17 of the official commentary of the Red Cross.

 

And they've been contradicted by the official commentary of the Red Cross, and Article 2 of that convention.

 

I have. The words are just not there.

 

this makes them refugees, according to international law

 

Red Cross is just an opinion.

ICJ is legally binding

 

The UN rule is law
The UNSC rule is law
The ICJ rule is law

They all ruled. The Geneva Conventions apply to Israel and the settlements

The Red Cross opinion is not law.


And you fail to source anything about the Red Cross and article 2

 

1) Please read article 49 where it says settlements on occupied territory is illegal
2) There is no opinion of the Red Cross on this. Source it.

 

The refugee conventin of 1951 does not mention that if a person left by choice is a refugee.

 

only 5% left because Arab leaders asked them.
And they still got the right to return

 

It is obvious that wanting to return home after leaving must be allowed.
And Israel refuses and so violated their civil rights protected by the UN Charter

 

yes it does.

it said if they left due to a conflict in their country, they are a refugee with all refugee rights.

you don't have to be physically forced out, to be a refugee.

 

Regarding Artilce 49, you can read page 278 of the official commentary and see that the Article was a result of the experience of the Second World War:

I just sourced Article 2 and Article 49 out of the official commentary of the Red Cross that is a crucil party for the creation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and therefore is an importent organizaion to mention.

 

according to the International Court of Justice, the Israeli Supreme Court, and the IDF, the West Bank/CisJordan is Occupied Territory.

 

the Rod Cross has a crucial part of the creation of the Fourth Geneva Convention, and therefore needs to be taken seriously regarding the Fourth Geneva Convention.

 

Israel offered Arabs to return to their homes. They refused.

 

Red Cross is just an opinion.

ICJ is legally binding

 

Arabs didnt left due to the conflict, but due to the encouregment of the Arab leaders.

 

nobody leaves their home by choice
