    Taking hostages is also against international law, which both Hamas and the houthis have done

    https://treaties.un.org/doc/db/terrorism/english-18-5.pdf

    International Convention against the taking of hostages. Adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 17 December 1979

    Considering that the taking of hostages is an offence of grave concern to the international community and that, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, any person committing an act of hostage taking shall either be prosecuted or extradited,

    Obligatory fuck the IDF and Bibi as well as Hamas and the Houthis, but you’re not saying much by stating it’s against international law. Both sides (lmao, this isn’t a literal both-sides argument) are in violation of international law. Everyone knows it doesn’t mean shit unfortunately.
