After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

    Israel, with US backing, is destroying the concept of international law. It’s now clear to everyone that the so-called international rules based order isn’t real and that the rules only apply to US enemies like Russia.

    I think we’re seeing a repeat of the League of Nations.

        That’s the bigger one. They’re happy to enforce the rules on brown people when they attack brown people, or white people on white people, and all hell is unleashed when it’s brown on white, but when it’s mostly white Israelis on mostly brown Palestinians you get crickets.

            Eh. It still seems more interesting than baseball, and it’s more exotic where I live, which the hipster in me likes.

            In case this was actually unclear, there’s a media trope of using the sound of crickets (the animal) to emphasis a silence.

      Love that americans are still worried about elections of all things as if anything other than organized violence will stop a capitalist government from committing genocide.

        The #1 thing I’ve noticed this go round is how the best even the most dem pundits and supporters can come up with is “Yeah Biden does it but Trump will do it worse”

          I’m not even convinced that’s true when it comes to this issue. Trump, at least, narcissistically cares about what people think of him enough that he could maybe be swayed by public opinion. Biden has been a hardline Zionist his entire career and sees backing Israel to the hilt despite the public outcry as a moral imperative.

          Besides, how do you get worse than eagerly aiding a genocide?

            Yeah. I don’t know Trump would help this situation at all but it wouldn’t be this bullshit. That’s for sure. And I want to be very clear I do not and did not want a president trump.

              Ttumo has explicitly said he thinks Israel needs to finish the job.

              Jesus Christ, inform yourself before you say shit like this.

                Trump says a lot doesn’t mean him or his party would be doing the same if they were in this role lol.

                  If you want to believe that Ttunp is lying to you about his feelings towards Palestinians, than there is nothing I can say to change your mind.

                  That is pure uninformed lunacy and you absolutely know better.
