    Well now you lost me entirely. All I wanted to say was that the Geneva Convention is (part of) international law.

    Or in other words: Geneva Convention ⊊ International Law.

    Hence my confusion about your confusion.

    Here’s a big UN document about what Israel can and cannot do under international law…

    TL;DR.

    Again, I wasn’t agreeing with OP above, I was just pointing out that GC I Article 21 is applicable in Gaza since Israel is a signatory and thus Israel has to follow it (at least de jure if not de facto). This is the case even when Palestine isn’t a signatory to GC I because of Article 2.

    Wrong again, this is Protocol I which Israel isn’t a signatory to. What I linked is Convention I which Israel is a signatory to.

    And this also has nothing to do with the claim you made even if they were, you claimed the Convention doesn’t apply to occupying forces when it explicitly states that it does apply.

    Also note that I’m not saying Israel did abide by it (doubt it honestly) just that they are subject to it.

    This section of the Geneva Convention does not apply to a belligerent occupying force.

    Wrong, see Article 2.

    The Convention shall also apply to all cases of partial or total occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party, even if the said occupation meets with no armed resistance.

    Although one of the Powers in conflict may not be a party to the present Convention, the Powers who are parties thereto shall remain bound by it in their mutual relations.
