Just a hypothetical question but how many Palestinians have to die for the US to vote to support a ceasefire? Or how many more war crimes Israel has to commit to stop them sending weapons.
The US should realise that sending them weapons empowers Israel and gives them the sense of impunity that no matter what they do they will always get a pass.
No one should be higher than basic humanitarian and international laws and with this war we clearly are showing our double standards.
@filister all of them.
The US showed its double standards way back when it passed a law authorising itself to use military force against the international criminal courts if we ever tried to hold an American accountable for war crimes or crimes against humanity.
But yeah I think what's happening right now is a very powerful reminder of that, and isn't being lost on the rest of the world.
The United States is completely aware of the atrocities being committed and no amount of additional war crimes will change its position.
Its interests in the region that it views as necessary to maintaining its global hegemonic power are viewed as more important than any action by an allied actor even to the extent of what a decently large portion of its populace deems genocide.
I think our trash leadership care more about the footprint of the land than the feet of the people on that land. They kill our people off when they consider us as in the way as well, unfortunately.
I think your trash leadership cares more about oil than human lives and call me conspiracy theorists, but weren't they discovered a significant natural gas reserves in Gaza, which Israel either doesn't want for Palestine to start working on or either want to take completely over. And making Gaza inhabitable and pushing Palestinians to Sinai might as well be part of their plan to do exactly that, using Hamas' attack as an excuse.
I actually don't know but wouldn't put it past any conclusion. I hate how trapped we all are to these goons.
Time to send the US representatives families to Gaza I guess.
We'd have better luck bringing Gaza to them.
did nazi that coming
And somehow Westerners went me to believe if the world was lead by China we will be worse off?
One can be bad, and the other definitely worse.
I'm not with the communist crowd, but a significant fraction of the global population would be better off with China in control of world affairs. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be an East Asian in that world, but the Middle East and Africa for starters would definitely be better than they are now.
Settler-level, vibes-based, "muh treats"-factored analysis. Don't you have a historically Black neighborhood to be gentrifying
Interesting list. As a data slut, it would be best to see this expanded to other countries as well. And then broken down into in and out of state atrocities. Then, further down the road, linking specific instigators to their crimes so exact avenues of violence could be tracked.
Honestly, this is an excellent beginning to a powerful tool.

"definitely"
Only in your racist sinophobic world view. We on the other hand, judge by past and present actions, and it is clear who is the genocidal maniac here.
There's some very interesting voting ~~manipulation~~ patterns going on in here. Some very quick upvotes on your nonsense and the same downvoting mine. I'm sure it's all legit though as you spread your agenda throughout Lemmy.
@OutlierBlue pro tip: voting in the fediverse isn't secret like it is on reddit.
If you suspect vote manipulation just get yourself a kbin account, we click and can see lists of exactly who upvoted each comment and when. (We can do this for downvotes too but we don't federate those).
It's a good way to spot people upvoting themselves, and to free yourself from paranoia.

These votes are organic. You’re just used to the voting patterns of imperial core social media platforms. Once you step outside that bubble, you may find that opinions differ.

Impossible that you just have a terribly shitty take and everyone knows it.
Don't mind me just up voting them and down voting you too. By the way, care to explain why you think it would be definitely worse?
Why wouldn't the country that sells the most weapons do this? They have everything to gain from more wars.
