All Aid Workers should be pulled out until Israeli and Palestinian forces have had sufficient training to be able to recognise them.

That’s what the Israelis want so that the Palestinians starve and I havnt heard any reports of any Palestinians or Hamas targeting aid workers.

The Israelis are not heeding any proposals of restraint,  what or who can stop them,  sanctions?  Dismissal from the U.N.?

 

When other countries don’t take heed or listen we are quick to brand them a rogue pariah state and sanction them so why not the same treatment for Israel?

Stopping aid is what the Israelis want that’s why they have kept targeting aid workers and convoys.

USA and UK should stop sending weapons,  there have been protests by ordinary Israelis,  I hope some for Netanyahu to resign.

Nice to see  a genocide supporter out again.

The Genocide convention was of course initiated because of Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Dresden, and The Holocaust, amongst others.

Why the atomic bombing of Hiroshima would be illegal today   Stanford University
The archival record makes clear that killing large numbers of civilians was the primary purpose of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.

The attack would be illegal today for violating three major requirements of the Geneva Conventions: the principles of distinction, proportionality, and precaution.

 

The current regime is actually bombing rather a lot at the moment in case folks hadn't noticed.
According to this report, "collateral damage" of the deaths of unconnected civilians, to intended targets varies from 1 target to 15/20 civilians, to 1 target to low hundreds, depending on the perceived rank of the target.

‘The machine did it coldly’: Israel used AI to identify 37,000 Hamas targets Guardian story about an Israeli report
Israeli intelligence sources reveal use of ‘Lavender’ system in Gaza war and claim permission given to kill civilians in pursuit of low-ranking militants

Two sources said that during the early weeks of the war they were permitted to kill 15 or 20 civilians during airstrikes on low-ranking militants.

Attacks on such targets were typically carried out using unguided munitions known as “dumb bombs”, the sources said, destroying entire homes and killing all their occupants.

“You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people – it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs],” one intelligence officer said. 

 

Don't forget, a low ranking target may not even be armed, if they were from the political wing of Hamas, now deemed a terrorist organisation by The UK (as recently as 2021 here ).  I believe that was under Priti Patel's office, after she had previously resigned, and then re-appointed to a cabinet post.

It seems to me Netanyahu can't control his soldiers or give explicit instructions to his generals.
