The U.S. Is Giving Israel Permission for War Crimes
As Israel incinerates entire city blocks, the White House offers its tacit approval.
The article accuses Israel of potentially committing war crimes in its conflict with Hamas, focusing on a siege on Gaza, airstrikes harming civilians, and evacuation orders. It criticizes the U.S. for not condemning Israel's actions and emphasizes the need for diplomatic solutions. The piece argues that Israel's approach could backfire politically and suggests that there's no military solution to the conflict. It calls for the U.S. to exercise influence to deter such actions, asserting it's in the interests of both the U.S. and Israel to prevent further civilian casualties and maintain regional stability.

Israel has never needed permission before. The US isn't going to criticize one of, if not its only, core ally in the Middle East, at least any more than it has to, for something it isn't going to be able to get it to stop and would only break diplomatic ties. But it is clearly pressuring Israel to tone it down. It's odd how the criticism against the US keeps going from "its getting to involved in everything" to "its not doing enough".
It probably would be easier for public pressure to coerce US imperialism in the zone if there wasn't Ruso-Chino imperialism also trying to influence through Syria and Iran, with North Korean weapon imports to boot. They can both be condemned, but one losing is clearly going to favor the other, so it's hardly going to fix the problem, it's just moving it elsewhere.
It's a worldwide relentless cycle, isn't it?
