17. Violation of Air space to genocide is like Stealing a candy bar to killing a neighbor.
And Unless the Sudanese or Israeli government is ousted from power, why would they care if they violate either, as a practical matter (obviously the moral implication of genocide.. though violating airspace, not so much). The reason for resentment is years of bloody wars, conflict and conflicting interests.

International law is a international joke, it's almost never enforced and when it is it's always by the big guys who could do it themselves unilaterally if they really wanted to.
