In response, the far-right lawmaker threatened to take steps in his capacity as head of the treasury that would significantly impede the Palestinian economy
This is just fucking evil. The US sanctioning Israel? Just take it out on the Palestinians.
So taking a weapon off a dying person (presumably to help the dying person, which medics tend to do) and giving it to someone nearby for safe keeping makes you a fighter now? Hell the medic might have given the weapon to the hamas fighter to protect him doing his (geneva-convention protected) job while the oh-so-moral IDF was firing at them.
But of course, this one video totally warrants the destruction of several hospitals and the torture and murder of doctors and patients. What a bullshit argument.
The only thing a ceasefire is getting Israel off scott free after killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, and letting Israel regroup and launch another October - March.
Imagine coming out of the holocaust, where unimaginable horrors were done to the Jewish people, to then just straight go in to doing the exact same thing to the Palestinians. Imagine being that hypocritical and still think you are in the right. I can't even begin to to think how one could be so stuck up their own arse.
If they would stop delivering bombs to Israel, they wouldn't even have to drop this many meals in the first place, saving literally everyone in the process so much pain and effort.
Israel needs to be called out for every warcrime they commit. It's the only thing we as regulars can still do while our governments are fully in the pockets of the Israeli propaganda machine.
Stop warning and have some actual consequences. At the very least halt all military aid, every bit of weaponry sent to Israel will be used for war crimes. Ideally halt all support to Israel. "Warning" does fuck all.
Because unlike all the others you mention, this genocide is actively funded by "us". This is the one that is done by "us" as the west. This is done by people who are supposed to be like us. It's the horrible feeling that we are responsible and we can't do anything except for point out that the Israeli government is a genocidal bunch of assholes and hope that our governments will finally get their heads out of Bibi's ass.
You know, if pretty much the entire world is saying Israel is going too far, including the US who are normally 100% behind Israel, and the goddamn International Court of Justice, perhaps it's time to consider that it's you, and not the rest of the world, that needs to change their mind.
This is just fucking evil. The US sanctioning Israel? Just take it out on the Palestinians.
