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.

      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.

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

      Meanwhile people still sneer at me about "Uyghurs" and accuse me of being "political" and a "takfiri" if I say anything to the contrary.

      Because while it is morally crap. It is technically correct.

      Palestine is not recognised as a nation internationally. And historically never has been.

      So no international law applies to actions being committed.

        It has an nation observer seat at the UN, was a nation as a "mandate" after WW1 and the ICJ did make a ruling saying that Genocide was being committed there that the US passed a law threatening Palistine from recognizing.

        On top of this most of the world recognized palistine as a country only 55 of the 193 (194 if we are counting the Holy Sea/Vatican City) do not recognize palistine. I would call that International recognition if 139 members of the UN Recognize Palestine.

        So I really do not get what you are trying to say here, because it is not even techincaly correct, the International Court of Justice, United Nations General Assembly, International Red Cross Cressent and Crystal have all said it is a vioilation of international law.

        This is before I start listing the individual counts of them violating just the geneva conventions, that apply to a signitory when they they fight any war reguardless of if the other side is recognized or a signitory. and agian Palistine is internationaly recognized

        139 out of 193 countries recognise Palestine as a nation internationally.

        Considering they include China, Indonesia, Nigeria, India AND Pakistan, Brazil and Russia, it's more accurate to say the vast majority of homo sapiens recognise the state of Palestine

        Palestine…historically never has been [a nation]

        Tell that to my 90-100 years old Palestinian grandparents who still have their official government documents from before the colonizers came barging in in 1948.

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