Yes it does ,as was edited out by yourself of the link I supplied, and is a crucial aspect. It will appear again at the end of this post and you will likely ignore it again but it is actually there for any others/posterity
Why have you made much of my using the term " enormous " when decsribing the dead ? Is 82% civilian dead not enough for you to acknowledge as enormous ?
I recall giving you the stats that in ten years of rocket fire and mortars from Gaza the death toll is around 30% the death toll from that one attack.
The woman who took that call claimed there was virtually no time for an evacution. The perpetrators never phoned anyone who could have authorized an evacuation, such as the British military/ civilian admin residing in the hotel. There was a shooting match going on outside involving the British and Irgun operatives just prior to the blast. Should the authorities , even if they had known , evacuate people from the hotel into the streets during a shoot out ?
They are all facts too but they rubbish your defence of the Jewish terror group that carried out the attack and so you ignore them
Under the indiscriminate attack guidelines given to you already. As promised above here is the last part from the guidelines as per the ICRC site on indiscriminate attacks
" an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the tangible and direct military advantage an attack which may be expected to cause incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians, damage to civilian objects, or a combination thereof, which would be excessive in relation to the tangible and direct military advantage anticipated.
It caused 82% civilian casualties ( deaths ) and damaged civilian objects ( surrounding buildings ) and the " military advantage " gained by it ? Within a month the British had arrested so many leaders and operatives of the Jewish Resistance Movement the whole thing collapsed and was abandoned. It could be argued that it backfired spectacularly on the Jewish resistance movement so there was no " tangible and direct military advantage " gained.
You just chose to defend the actions of a Jewish terror group that committed an indiscriminate attack against both a military and civil target knowing full well that many civilians would be killed , as was the case.
Which lays bare your constant claims about being against terrorists ,only, as utter rubbish. It clearly depends on the ethnicity of those doing the actions
