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.

17 0 ReplyI wish some of the reporters had said to him in the last interview, "so, they've investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong?"
17 0 ReplyThe reason is that it has not issued any findings yet. It is going to in a few months.
This is clever wordplay, nothing more.
Edit: fuck me, it's as if no one gives a shit about the truth anymore. It's all kneejerk reactions.
This is a non-story. Governments don't just willy nilly declare that somebody has or has not committed a war crime. It goes through an entire process. That process has not completed yet (in the US anyway). There are no findings yet. Therefore until the findings are released, the US has not found that Israel has done anything.

Has not found evidence ≠ Has not.
I still think they're blind, but let's not misconstrue what was actually said.

Would you feel any different?
8 0 Replyhuh I didn't think the US could have even less credibility on war crimes

3 0 ReplyAs 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
