Feedback on Palestinian right of armed resistance

Hey, I see you have good knowledge of customary international law. I would love to have your feedback on the article I wrote: Palestinian right of armed resistance. You can give it here or on that article's talk page.VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 02:47, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

It is excellent that you point out that IDF/Hamas soldiers must target only each other and each other's military objectives. This is a core issue with peoples' understanding of the conflict.

The statement that "civilians must be spared" is very much on the right track, but is not exactly accurate. For a lede section, I would say that it is good enough. Especially because it's the one thing that can't seem to get through the thick skulls of many combatants, leaving it simple may be best.

There are many scenarios in which civilians can be legally killed in war. This is where things get very complicated. Customary IHL rules 6, 14, 15 through 21, and 89 and are a good place to start for understanding when, why, and how civilians can be legally killed in war, LesbianTiamat (talk) 04:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

@LesbianTiamat feel free to WP:BOLD-ly edit the article! VR _{(Please ping on reply)} 14:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I will when I get some time!

Also I found a WikiProject for international law that can help out: Wikipedia:WikiProject_International_law

The page says that it "appears to be inactive" but I signed up anyway. LesbianTiamat (talk) 19:33, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

@Vice regent Here is your ping that I missed! LesbianTiamat (talk) 05:44, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I will take a look at it.

This is a very, very complex topic so it may take some time. I have extensive notes regarding the jus in bello aspects of many specific attacks that I'll have to go through.

For studying IHL I recommend this page: https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary-ihl

The ICRC also has a YouTube playlist on the rules of war: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB9nHe5nhQnmVigUV5glQItGzsKxjqw0m

I've never had problems, thanks to being attractive and confident. Are you seeking advice? LesbianTiamat (talk) 23:14, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
