The capacity of the West to hypocrisy seems limitless. Fuelling war is a Western business. This is no different than Nazis. I am sorry to tell you but we are extremely close to a fascist rule if not already there.
The international community has already failed in upholding the principles arising from Nuremberg. The international rules based order is dead, now it is might is right. The fascist/zionist order is in place and will soon be obvious to those of us the western “democracies”.
I completely agree with you in principle Karim. Alas, Gaza (and by the way things are going, all of Palestine) will not only be the graveyard of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, but the entire construct of international law. I get a sense that Gaza will be the final nail in the coffin for this so called 'rules based system' which has now lost all credibility. In all likelihood, the ICJ will find Israel guilty of genocide when the case eventually plays out (how could they not - the evidence is overwhelming), but those who perpetrated, aided and abetted this depravity won't be held to task.
My cynicism stems from all of the historical record over the past 80 years. Imperialist impunity has persisted since the inception of the post WWII order. France was never held to task for its savagery in Algeria and Indochina. Britain in Kenya. White settler regimes in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia. The Portuguese in Mozambique, Angola. The Americans in Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Iraq. The Indonesians in East Timor and West Papua. The Pakistanis in what became Bangladesh. The list goes on and on and on.
I agree and stand with you , your article is pure truth and until they actually do what they are supposed to do this horrific genocide will continue. We can not stand with a nuclear deterrent , violence just begets more violence. We want peace and justice especially justice in this on going tragedy .
A lot has happened over the past year to leave many people questioning some long held opinions and beliefs. The horror playing out in real time before the world is troubling for most to try to grasp.
I am skeptical that the American Empire cannot exact compliance from its favorite vassal. The many stories of the tail wagging the dog are too simple for my cynical mind.
Retired Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson noted in a discussion on a podcast, that had heard from a source that Joe Biden is filled with hate for Barack Obama, to the point that he purposely endorsed Kamala Harris immediately after announcing that he was dropping out of the race, in order to direct his anger at the person who extorted his cooperation. As Trump noted in the debate he had with Harris, “…He (Biden) hates her (pointing to his opponent)”
That information was leaked at the time of the DP coup.
Just yesterday Wilkerson shared another nugget from a source, and it’s worth noting that Wilkerson was very much a Washington insider when he was Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff. So as the unverifiable story goes, Biden believes that he earned the opportunity to run for reelection, that Obama and Pelosi twisted his arm, that his resentment is off the charts, and that the tragedy happening in West Asia is a scorned president’s vengeance upon his traitorous DP.
As deprived and inhuman as that sounds, it makes more sense to me than any other explanation. Netanyahu is a pussy cat without the tools supplied by the American government. A phone call would interrupt the daily murders, and change the narrative, but people are now claiming that the Israeli lobby has control over the politicians. Biden is screwing the party he had represented for some sixty years, and the self-described Zionist along with Netanyahu is poisoning the image of Jews around the world for years to come.
All of this dirty laundry has the scent of an empire unraveling.
My plan is this: an end to all aid to Israel, the expulsion of it’s diplomats and the closure of its embassies, the implementation of strict sanctions on the government and an arms embargo, and the full recognition of Palestine as a sovereign nation. I shall even allow the construction of a Palestinian embassy.
If Israel decides to defy the embargo, I will petition Egypt to allow my troops to stage a relief mission from the Sinai Peninsula to get as many people out of South Gaza as possible before they too are slaughtered. By means of a military assault against their blockade.
As for the North, I will authorize naval and air strikes against IDF installations inside Israel to give the people there both breathing room and a chance to escape. Even airlifts out. But the IDF will not make things so easy for the latter. They are all too bent on killing every man, woman and child, but i shall do my best.
I'm in total agreement with the premise of your comments, Karim. Unfortunately, precisely because of points that you have elucidated ("today's potential perpetrators are shielded by the political and military support of the world’s most powerful nations. This new reality poses a profound dilemma: the institutions designed to safeguard human rights and prevent atrocities like genocide now face the paradox of being undermined by their own principal members."}, the systems of international justice have been rendered impotent. This has been the case for decades - it has only now become widely recognized and acknowledged. The frightening and dystopian reality is that naked and brutal power, both military and economic, has been consolidated to the point that rapacious imperial agendas of global hegemony and control at any price have acquired the capacity (in the absence of any moral compasses) to wreak havoc and dominance with impunity. The rest is empty, spurious rhetoric.
The international community must stop kowtowing to the International Caucasian Court and prevent atrocities against Asians and Africans by white European racists to prevent a return to colonialism that the USA in Iraq and Libya heralded.
I guess the entire world finally see's why Iran always wanted to remove "Israel" from the map. But now the USA should be removed as well. I personally can't wait for nuclear war, if it puts and end to both!
Everyone now sees who the real terrorists are and have always been. Without the USA or at least a decapitated America perhaps there will finally be peace and prosperity throughout the the world for generations to come. I have never been so ashamed to live and be an American and hope they finally attacks us - rightfully so. I believe it was Putin who threatened to attack Europe first and then DC if they continued to accelerate and deepen their attacks inside Russia. Nothing else will ever stop either one.
Tactical nuclear weapons - target specific areas sans causing widespread destruction and radioactive fallout - they've been using them for decades. This will never ever ever stop otherwise - how many millions of people have we killed and will continue to kill until someone finally stops/attacks the USA? Both these wars boil down the race for control and power of the middle east versus Russia and China. The gas fields, the oil, the shipping lanes and trade corridors. Human life has no value. The time has come for the US to reap what it sows. I see people displaying the American Flag and can't fathom just how stupid they are. It nauseates me. We just sent 600,000 innocent men to their graves with a proxy was in Ukraine.
> Just as the international community once united to create a precedent for justice in Nuremberg, it must now come together to address the systematic atrocities committed against the Palestinians.
I am all for justice for the Palestinians, but please don't bring up the Nuremberg charade, a kangaroo court where Nazis were accused of violating new laws retroactively, and which the so-called Allies were guilty of violating of, but were never indicted for.
The Nuremberg Trials were not the result of the international community coming together, it was a show, a circus, set up by the Allies with a huuge Jewish influence.

Absolutely the case, Rahul. The international "rules based system" has completely lost all credibility, and is currently meaningless in fact.

It’s a disturbing thought there is a class of people that gets away with every depravity they can think of because they own more stuff.
The international community must stop kowtowing to the International Caucasian Court and prevent atrocities against Asians and Africans by white European racists to prevent a return to colonialism that the USA in Iraq and Libya heralded.

Nuclear war will unfortunately wipe us all off the map, as nuclear winter will destroy all our chances of survival.
