Not the kind of crossing the aisle that we wanted, by the one we deserve, sadly :(

It's so fucking gross that politicians bend over for the scum ass Israeli government and military.

Yep. Shoutout to all the Democrats running for their unrelenting support for Israel. And a special shoutout to their supporters who completely handwave this nonsense but are hypercritical of Ilhan Omar's comments on Venezuela, demanding she walk back things and apologise whilst never demanding their favoured candidate do the same when it comes to the state of Israel or show anywhere near the same level of concern when they tout the "Israel has a right to defend itself" line.
So fucking depressing.
It was a giant controversy for pointing out the Isreali Lobby's influence, the whole political system ganged up on Omar for it, but actual atrocities qmd warcrimes by the Isreali government?
Not a peep!
Cowards!
Yet people here will still stan for cowards liKe Pelosi and Harris.
Cowards.

Not happening.
The thought of any form of restraint in killing Palestinians is taken as weakness and is met with backlash.
Part of Natenyahu's political problems is not mudering more.

I expect that they will send a strongly worded letter and then do absolutely nothing else about it for fear of the Tropes™.
These figures are both staggering and completely unsurprising. It would be nice to think the indictment of Netanyahu will lead to the beginning of a turnaround.
What else is new...
Wake me up when someone holds Israel's government accountable for this shit.

Being anti-apartheid is anti-semitic according to some, apparently.
yeah that bit of isreali state propaganda is hotter than ever these days, sadly - the best part? watching the "FREE SPEECH" camp quietly fall in line behind anti BDS bills, aka actual infringement on free speech
So you want an even less relevant UN?
also
lmao
This is like the UK and the US giving aid to Yemen. It's fucking empty and meaningless when they're enabling and funding the problem. Try looking at how much money the US gives to Israel.
fwiw I'd like a UN that can actually do anything about the situation. Which unless the US has a drastic change of policy will not happen. This is like years ago when Israel were pulled up on other war crimes i.e. using internationally illegal weapons: cluster bombs and white phosphorus on Palestinians and nothing happened because the US vetoed it like every other time.
Though that graph is exactly on topic I didn't mean it like it excuses or makes up for the exact problem.
Both were just about general UN financials that quickly came up.
How many fucking times did the UN said this? Nothing will happen, I've lost all hope trusting any international community to hold Israel responsible. Israel as a nation has become so sadistic and fascistic yet no one holds them accountable. It's depressing learning that justice will never happen in my life time.
Killing children, disabled people, medics and relief workers. That really tells you how evil the state of Israel is.
So is the liberal American media like the New York Times covering this piece of news? I can't find anything on BBC, the Guardian, CNN etc. Not important that around 900 Palestinian children were shot at by the IDF?
American media is trash and I noticed the BBC sometimes downplay the atrocities. Don't expect most mainstream media to cover this.
Liberal in name only. They are just there to sell advertising. Fox news is at least open about their agenda. Instead of straddling the line for money.
A while back states tried to ban al jazeera. Not many in media stood by them. Afaik.
Not if they are the enablers in the first place.So you want an even less relevant UN?

Put aside the fact that the US prevent any attempt to stop these atrocities, they fund these war criminals far far more than they put to aid the victim.

All funded by the US tax payer.
This is why I'll never accept the definition of anti-semitism that includes criticism of Israel.
This is heartbreaking, I remember hugging my inconsolable ex-girlfriend who had just received news that 5 of her cousins had been slaughtered in Palestine. I told her that basic human goodness will prevail and there will be peace between Israel and Palestine soon.
That was in the summer of 2001.

That's not a strong defence as you think, both TYT (under each video) and Jacobin sell merchandise. Liberal is a large category, as well.
Yeah, 100%. You can't get away with mad stuff like this. Even if it was some byzantine conspiracy theory power game being played between Middle Eastern powers and the U.S, using Israel and Palestine as some proxy, its unforgiveable to allow the atrocities in Gaza to happen.
Fuck Israel for this shit and fuck the western world for allowing the antisemitism whistle be used to defend this shit time and time again. It's literally just a right wing tactic to say 'stop talking bad about our buddies wrapped up in the war crimes'.
Watch the UK not even touch this with a barge pole since calling them out would mean we have to address wtf antisemitism means to our press that twist it all the damn time.

I'm not caping for the obviously heinous shit that Israel is doing, but the UN HRC continues to be a rather nonsensical political body (although in this case it doesn't have a large contingent of Arab states as it did previously), and I find saying that people who throw live bombs for clear political purposes are not terrorists somewhat up for debate. Also for it to be war crimes, who are they fighting a war with then?
Are states with a majority Arab culture illegitimate, or what?
Also, there is a military occupation in Gaza and the West Bank. The Israeli military runs those places. What else is it if it's not war?
They are fighting a war with Palestine, unless you are saying Palestine doesn't exist.
There is a group of people with their own culture, language and government. It is basically a state that isn't being recognised as such. So yes they are committing war crime against Palestine.

A terrorist for fighting an occupying force that is engaging in ethnic cleansing. Yeah, no.
You're right, all those journalists and kids and medics that were shot were obviously terrorists
And anyone who might be bombing Israeli targets, separate from the civilians being shot at by the idf here, aren't terrorists, they're freedom fighters acting against colonial occupiers invading their homeland
If only the UN wasn't a joke with Russia and China (or anyone really) having veto powers and USA on the trigger to pull out. If only USA wasn't sneaking in laws making criticism of Israel punishable.
And this has what to do with why MSM that was specifically named by the person isnt covering this?
calling cnn/msnbc/etc shills for a dollar isnt a defense...
