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.

      Lmfao. When was that bud? When we killed the natives? When we locked up the Japanese? When we overthrow South American governments?

        Maybe it was when we had an economy based on slave labor! If that’s the metric we’re using, America has been the good guys the whole time it’s existed!

    As much as I hate it, from my understanding he’s right (expect for genocide). The UN doesn’t recognize Palestine as a country. Ergo internal conflict

    Genocide is one of the only ways a country can break international laws without an international conflict

      Good point well made.

      It is also a fair note. That neither Palestine or Israel has any real claim. The state that owned the land. The otterman empire. No longer existed when the land was allocated.

      And while the UK allocation of peoples homes was crappy. The fact that the Palestinian peoples leaders refuse to accept any compromise that allows the existence of Israel. Is also the reason the current mess exists.

      All sides are pretty fucked up here.

        What the actual fuck are you talking about. Like seriously, what does it matter that the ottoman empire ruled the land, the Palestinians (including a number of orthodox Jews) lived there. That’s their fucking claim to it

        And while the UK allocation of peoples homes was crappy. The fact that the Palestinian peoples leaders refuse to accept any compromise that allows the existence of Israel. Is also the reason the current mess exists.

        Do you want to interrogate this further, why was it crappy, could it be because the UK had a vested interest in creating a colonial project? And why should the Palestinians compromise, colonizers are coming in, removing them from their homes and killing them indescriminately. How can you even compromise with Israel when they continue to illegally steal land on the west bank and golan heights (and of they had their way Sinai too)

        All sides are pretty fucked up here.

        Go fuck yourself

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

      This is the correct answer.

      I was just gonna say how fucking ironic it is the US became full on Nazis after defeating them 70 years ago. I know Amurica secretly gave the Nazi scientists a place to hide after WWII but what we’ve become is next level. Or maybe we’ve always been this way and it’s just become more evident. Either way, this backing of genocide, killing semitic people using the name of semetic people is white supremacist as fuck.

      Can’t leave out the christ-centrism that the West exhibits en masse, too.

      To most christians, killing muslims is a good thing no matter what.
