Whose weapons are they using?

Their own, that’s how giving weapons to allies works.

If a kid shoots up a school who is held accountable?:

The person shooting

Or

The retailer/distributor of the weapon used

I’ll let you take your time figuring it out, there are a Ton of case studies thanks to the USA.

Fun fact, they just convicted a parent of giving a kid a gun which was later used in a school shooting.

In the analogy it’s a lot more similar to the parents who give the gun to the kid on the way to school while singing pumped up kicks

Apartheid

Amnesty International Report

Human Rights Watch Report

B’TSelem Report with quick Explainer

Genocide

Year before Oct 7 - Jewish Voice for Peace

Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in the Gaza Strip (South Africa v. Israel) and Summery by the International Court of Justice
