Convicted pedophile says "fuck off with this click-bait bullshit you’re posting" while posting a steaming heap of click-bait bullshit. Now I have seen it all. Ritter may claim to have "done combat targeting at the state, operational and tactical level," but it's obvious he knows fuckall about the law of armed conflict. How can you tell? Easy. Start with this...insightful claim: "When a suspected war crime is committed, there is a duty and responsibility to inform the public." I mean, he's right...in the way that a broken clock is right twice a day. But the threshold requirement is that a suspected war crime HAS been committed. And that's where Scott's...colorful commentary goes off the rails. Because he goes on to claim "deliberate targeting of a journalist is a war crime." Close...but not quite accurate. What he should have said is civilians are protected from being made the object of attack "unless and for such time as they take a direct part in hostilities." That's what international law actually says (pic 1). Although neither #USA nor @Israel have ratified the conventional (treaty) source of that rule, both recognize it as customary & both implement some version of the rule in their fundamental targeting doctrine. So, when is "deliberate targeting of a journalist" NOT a war crime? That's right! For such time as the "journalist" is ALSO a civilian taking a direct part in hostilities (DPH). Then, it's not a "war crime." It's just...targeting. An activity Ritter claims to have done "at the state, operational and tactical level." Maybe that's true. Who knows? But he obviously wasn't very good at his job if he thinks deliberately targeting a "journalist" who is also DPH is a "war crime." Whether one believes it or not, the explanation by @IDF for attacking Shaib is that he was posing as a journalist but was actually a #Hezbollah operative. That means he was assessed anyway to be civilian DPH. And so deliberately targeting him was NOT a war crime. So if directing an attack against a civilian DPH isn't actually a war crime, any guesses what that does to Ritter's claim that, "When a suspected war crime is committed, there is a duty and responsibility to inform the public"? That's right. No "suspected war crime" means no "duty and responsibility to inform the public." But wait! How do we know when a "journalist" is ALSO a civilian DPH?!? I can already hear it now, so read on. As far as I know, the doctrinal IDF DPH standard isn't released to the public - just the fundamental "for such time as, direct part" rule. But I also know from previous experience their standard is pretty similar to @DeptofWar version. And DoD Law of War Manual presents fairly thorough coverage of what does - and does not - qualify as DPH at least by our interpretation. As our doctrine conveys, DPH "includes certain acts that ... effectively and substantially contribute to an adversary’s ability to conduct or sustain combat operations" (pic 2). And one of the specific activities the Manual explicitly considers DPH is "providing or relaying information of immediate use in combat operations" (pic 3). Which is precisely what @LTC_Shoshani said about Shaib. So if IDF doctrine is similar to ours (which, it is), then deliberately attacking this "journalist" was NOT a war crime. Same is true for the Kunduz attack he references. I've studied & written about that incident at great length (will include a sample in 1st reply). So I know it was never investigated as a "war crime" from the outset (pic 4). But since Ritter knows fuckall about LOAC, he's free to spout off any erroneous bullshit and seemingly actually believe he's proving someone wrong. Here's my challenge to you, Scotty boy. Next time you show up in my mentions, have something constructive to say. While I have better things to do with my time, I also don't mind exposing you as the ignorant fraud that you are when you DO show up with this bullshit dressed up as informed commentary.

Scott Ritter@RealScottRitter

I’ve worked in the intelligence community. I’ve done combat targeting at the state, operational and tactical level. You’re so full of shit it’s pathetic. When a suspected war crime is committed, there is a duty and responsibility to inform the public. The attack on the Konduz hospital in 2015 stands out as an example of. So does the attack on the Ameriyah bomb shelter. The deliberate targeting of a journalist is a war crime. There is a duty and responsibility to investigate. To suggest otherwise means you’ve never involved in targeting of any consequence, and you’re just a book-trained lawyer with zero real world experience. So fuck off with this click-bait bullshit you’re posting.

The world didn't normalize anything. You just assumed they would do something about it, and now you have finally realized what Western values really are. Sobering, isn't it?

So a German, an Englishman and an Irishman... were all in Saudi Arabia, sharing a smuggled crate of booze when they were arrested by Saudi police. The mere possession of alcohol is a severe offence in Saudi Arabia, so they are all sentenced to death! However, after many months and with the help of very good lawyers, they were able to appeal their sentences down to 20 lashes each of the whip. As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "As it is my first wife's birthday today, she has asked me to allow each of you one wish before your whipping." The German was first in line; after thinking for a bit he said, "Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but after only 10 lashes the whip had shredded the pillow. When the punishment was done the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying in pain. The Englishman was next up. After watching the German in horror he asked, "Please tie two pillows to my back." This time it took 15 lashes, but once again the pillows were shredded, and the Englishman was led away bleeding and whimpering in pain. The Irishman was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from the most beautiful part of the world I have ever seen. Because of this, you may have two wishes!" "Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Irishman replied. "In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not 20, but 100 lashes." "Not only are you an honorable man from a beautiful island, you are also very brave," the Sheikh said with admiration. "If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it. And your second wish?" And the Irishman said, "Tie the Englishman to my back." 🤣🤣

The year is 2030. Meat is for the wealthy. Bugs are on the menu. You rent from the bank. You work until 85. Digital ID to live. No cash. You own nothing—not even your data. Speech is monitored. Taxes are automatic. AI took your job. Petrol cars are banned. The end.
