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.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 81 points 11 months ago

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.

Only leftists think we score a point when we say 'rules based order' is a farse. It's meant to be a farse, or they'd say international law like everyone else. To the imperial core and liberals, this is obvious and correct.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 25 points 11 months ago

The people in charge see it as obvious.

Do you think every dumbass liberal does? No! That's why we raise the contradictions.

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.

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

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

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?"
