    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.
