In reply to the discussion: Israel levels West Bank home of Palestinian-American suspect [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,283 posts)31. The second Muntasser Shalaby fired at an Israeli, he forefeited his rights under Geneva Conventions.
IV: GENEVA CONVENTION RELATIVE TO THE PROTECTION OF CIVILIAN PERSONS IN TIME OF WAR OF 12 AUGUST 1949
Article 5:
ART.5. Where, in the territory of a Party to the conflict, the latter is satisfied that an individual protected person is definitely suspected of or engaged in activities hostile to the security of the State, such individual person shall not be entitled to claim such rights and privileges under the present Convention as would, if exercised in the favour of such individual person, be prejudicial to the security of such State.
Shalaby is definitely not covered by the Geneva Conventions. The question is whether his wife is. I am not a lawyer, but we have the decision of Israel's supreme court: she is not. Since I don't have all the facts that the Israeli Supreme Court had, I am not inclined to jump to any conclusions on this matter.

Apparently, Mr. Shalaby didn't give a shit about his kids when he became a terrorist. Or his home.
