Help NATO by Holding Hamas Accountable for Terrorist War Crimes
Every time Hamas uses innocent civilians to shield its weapons and fighters from lawful attack, it commits a war crime, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
Hamas is yet again relying heavily on one of the most nefarious tools in the terrorist arsenal during its various rounds of conflict with Israel: the use of civilians as human shields. Every time Hamas uses innocent civilians to shield its weapons and fighters from lawful attack, it commits a war crime, a violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
The use of human shields by terrorist groups is no mere technical violation of the law of war. Rather, it has been a pivotal contributor to the tragic loss of civilian lives in several recent conflicts, including those pitting the United States against the Islamic State and the Taliban.

It’s little wonder that Joe Biden wants to get his troops out of Afghanistan. To date, the cost of invading Afghanistan has cost 2.26 trillion USD, according to Brown University research. Of course, in addition to this will be the lifetime care cost for American veterans wounded since 2001, and whatever the future interest payments are on money borrowed to support this war.
It has been estimated that approximately 241,000 people have died thanks to this invasion: 71,344 civilians; 2,442 American service personnel; 78,314 Afghan military and police; and 84,191 fighting on the other side. These figures do not take into account the thousands more injured or permanently disabled.
Turkish troops are shelling villages across Idlib, not much shelling, just enough. Then they show up to evacuate those they just shelled, with Reuters, al Jazeera and other media teams with them.
Then the media blames Syria for a humanitarian crisis with hopes Trump will back the Muslim Brotherhood’s play against both Russia and Syria.
The real story is an old one, a secret society, one that crosses all 3 religions of the book, which explains why Christian evangelists, Saudi Wahhabists and Zionist extremists are joined at the hip against democracy across the planet.
Why is Erdogan backing al Qaeda against Russia and Syria? What is the tie between them?

China may have sabotaged its own prospects for securing a sought-after investment agreement with the European Union when it penalized a long list of politicians, researchers and institutions – including a key member of Germany’s Green Party – in response to recent EU sanctions.
The Comprehensive Agreement on Investment, or CAI, was agreed to in principle at the end of last year but remains as much as a year from final ratification by the European Parliament, where support from Germany is seen as crucial to its approval.
Recent polling shows the Greens – who are considered much tougher on China than the current administration in Berlin – as well positioned to participate in or even lead the next German government after elections expected in late September.
