They have no problems with sanctioning war criminals of my country (Russia) (rightfully so). But Israel suddenly has carte blanche.
I know i know, It's not about justice, it's about geopolitics.
As someone who really wanted to believe in the myth of international human rights that the US claims to support, it is quite painful to watch.
I see a lot of people saying we should just go mask off and admit it’s all about geopolitics but is that really better? I’d rather see leaders try to live up to their lofty rhetoric than to abandon it.
But they won't live up to their rhetoric because geopolitics is "too important." So all we will ever do is get lies which further erodes public support of, and faith in, our government.
A painful truth is more honorable than a lofty lie. They should treat us like adults.
Of course he is... the US routinely ignores reports when it is police or prison officials raping and torturing people too. The FBI could hire 100 new federal agents, and I'd be surprised if they found one that actually cared about their job, while the 99 new agents sat around or started their own gangs that they could then occasionally find some patsy to send to prison so they can then request some boats and trucks for further "investigations."
In a just world, ghouls like Blinken would hang for the material contributions they made to crimes against humanity like those the US and Israel are prosecuting.
IDF rape and torture? Better sanction Iran!
