A 50-Year Occupation: Israel’s Six-Day War Started With a Lie

Since the word "belligerent" in Oxford's definition seems to have a different meaning for you than for the rest of us, here's a helping hand from Britannica:

Blockade, an act of war by which a belligerent prevents access to or departure from a defined part of the enemy’s coasts.

Not my option. Legal definition provided by an Ivy League University.

 

Why dont you cite the actual law or rule as outlined by UN ILC that specifically defines a blockade to be an act of war? Notice the "warfare" subtext in your link? It means as its used in warfare. Of course a blockade during a war is an act of war. Any aggressive(belligerent) action during a war is an act of war.

But a blockade outside of war is not an act of war

Notice

The term "act of war" means any act occurring in the course of war

 

Regardless of scholarly definitions, a blockade plus the amassed armies of 13 hostile countries on Israeli borders have left no doubt of Arabs intentions. What Israel did was what any smart country would do. The rest is history.

 

He chooses to be wrong. <dunno>

 

Nah, it's not being wrong. It's being in denial

 

Because, as we all know, if DJT put warships off the coast of China, declared a blockade, and sank everything that crossed a no-go line, no one would call that an act of war.

 

Indeed.

 

Well I do so no holes here.

 

Your source states a formal war does not have to be declared in case of armed conflict to be considered an "act of war" - so you just contredicted yourself.

 

Why is he wrong?

 

The State of Israel is not going to make concessions to crazy arabs who have sworn to destory it.

All the palestinians troubles to this day spring from arab refusal to accept the peaceful partitation of the land mandated by the UN in 1947

 

No, settlement building was not halted. Any new settlement building was temporarily put on hold, but existing works continued. Not too long afterwards Netanyahu demonstrated his desire for peace by announcing an acceleration of the settlement building programme.

 

And they always will. BBLCJ's. They're too brainwashed to learn from their mistakes. It's 100% for them and nothing for everyone else. The only thing that's saved the world so far is that they're so busy killing each other they're distracted in their war against the world.

It is incredible that there are so many brainwashed morons that blame all the world's ills on a tiny country and people that's done nothing but defend itself against the entire world for all recorded history.

 

Neah. All the troubles started because the Jews ethnic cleansed 100.000's of civilians so they could actually form a massive majority in Israel instead of hardly be a majority at all. And the Jew still goes on ethnic cleansing across their borders to enlarge their Jew state. It's all driven by their Jew extremist religion where their god even supports genocide to thieve the land of Canaan. It's that and them who refuse to stop this and come to turns with their war crimes.

 

Palestinians are fast becoming irrelevant, only making the news when they manage to kill another Israeli while, of course, being exterminated themselves. Pitiful people.

 

I'm not seeing any shift in popular support for Israel and their Israeli Jews, besides going down hill. The world has had it with that paria state.

 

Yesterday, after the murder of Israeli policewoman, BBC came up with a headline:

“Three Palestinians killed after deadly stabbing in Jerusalem”

which was fast changed, after the world outrage:

“Israeli policewoman stabbed to death in Jerusalem.”

The world is awakening and is calling these, who hate Israel. The pariah state is Palestine.

Wait... they're State only in the eyes of UN.

 

Got killed for being part of the oppressing east Jerusalem.

Palestine is recognized by as good as all countries, except by the Judean/Christian west.
When did that happen?

 

The arabs started the 1948 war

Jews accepted the 1947 UN peace compromise but the palestinians didnt

 

That is my idea of fake news. Don't like those Jews, do you?

 

I love it when people recreate history to satisfy and justify their prejudices.

 

And I dont see how even liberals could be so misinformed about the creation of Israel and the Jewish/arab conflict during the past 70 years

 

The Jews ethnic cleansed 100.000's of civilians. Reason enough to start a war.

Because they were given a massive piece of land compared to the % of the population. And they ethnic cleansed it from the start. The Jews still are ethnic cleansing and expanding their apartheid state. They should come to turns that they made war crimes.
