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.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

Holy hell, how can he say that with a straight face?

[–] [email protected] 91 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

americans are too chickenshit and comfortable to do anything than complain. i wish we were more like the french.

Yup :(

I don't envy you Americans. Here in Canada we have our own set of idiots too and it almost always boils down to voting for the least worst person :(

democracy under capitalism = fascism in cosplay

no matter how much you organize, grassroots, and petition... evil bastards will steamroll your movements with cash, and add a little concession to whatever you were riling people up about...

then you get to vote for the guy pandering to you or the guy who isn't, but they'll both do the same shit... give more money to rich people any way possible.

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

[–] [email protected] 42 points 4 months ago

Cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing

[–] [email protected] 40 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 38 points 4 months ago (9 children)

And anyone trusts anything the US says why?

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?"

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

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