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 and brown people don't count as people.

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.

I can't imagine what it takes to stand up there and say that shit with a straight face. Fuck you for representing my country.

Why would anybody think that the US could have beef with settlers killing civilians?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months ago

US is an accomplice, so of course they can't admit to Israel violating international law.

"We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 10 months ago (5 children)

US/Europe's support of Israel and condemnation of Russia pretty much just shows the rest of the world what hypocrites they are.

Cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing

That spokesperson doesn’t reflect well on his agency, our government or our people.

I wish some of the reporters had said to him in the last interview, "so, they've investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong?"

Since when is the US government the IC-fucking-J?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (4 children)

That is because Washington sees white people as human, and everyone else as subhuman.
