    You’re still missing the key difference. Right, 78.

    This is the language that was omitted:

    In accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention,

    Israel cannot kill Palestinians in violation of the Genocide Convention. No kidding?

    That’s not the same as saying Israel cannot kill any Palestinians.

      Then that’s what LarmyofLone said. “Within the scope of the convention.” Why can’t you back down mate? It’ll be good for you. We all make mistakes.

        Nah go back further to Larmy’s initial comment and the Guardian article linked at the top of this post. Larmy’s second post too leaves out the word “Genocide Convention” and just says “convention.”

        Both altered the text of the actual order to make it appear as though Israel was ordered not to kill any Palestinians, and they did it on purpose to make Israel look like it is violating the order.

        It’s always illegal by the ICJ standards to kill people in violation of the Genocide Convention. It’s not always a violation of the Genocide Convention to kill people, though. That’s a significant difference.
