    Why the hell are Western countries still supporting the Zionist cunts? Is it remorse? Is it because they look whiter than Arabs? Are they a strategic point in the Middle East?

        That is to say there, is zero evidence and no court has ever levied a guilty verdict against any Zionist for the crime.

        A top U.N. court says Gaza genocide is ‘plausible’ but does not order cease-fire.

        Donoghue said the court cannot make a final determination right now on whether Israel is guilty of genocide. But she said that given the deteriorating situation in Gaza, the court has jurisdiction to order measures to protect Gaza’s population from further risk of genocide.

        I find that much more credible than “white replacement theory”.

        Either you’re ignoring all the bombings since the article was written in January or you are ignorant, or both.

          Saying there is a plausable threat of genocide is not conviting someone of genocide. It is like saying a woman has a plausable threat of rape if she walks alone at night in a bad part of town. There is no actual threat of rape, no one is threatining to rape her, there is no one to convit of rape, rape has not actually happened =- but at some time in the future if she keeps walking in the bad part of town at night someone might decide to rape her.

    The outrageous death of children is almost historically unique.

    I’m not sure this person should be commenting on history.

      You think the vice chair of the U.N. Child Rights Committee might not know what they’re talking about there?

        Maybe. Maybe not. The Un appoints people to Committee from nations that commit abuses the Committee is studying, in the hopes they will be inspired to stop committing those abuses.

        You know, like how Iran was appointed to chair the the human rights Committee despite routine violations of human rights.

        The fact is the Un’s only goal is appeasing dictators to keep peace. It is the geopolitical equivalent of giving car keys to a toddler to play with to make them stop throwing a temper tantrum.

          Arguably those countries are the ones most in need of sitting down and working out how to meet the goals set.

          The alternative is a circle jerk of nations who have already achieved it or higher standards congratulating themselves.

          I know which one is more likely to bring about the needed change.

            those are who should be working out how to meet the goals set. not the ones setting the goals.

              Why? They’re the ones who can set realistic goals for them.

              Nor does the existence of these goals prevent nations from going above and beyond, it’s about bringing the baseline up.
