US says Israel has not violated international law during Gaza war

Israel, with US backing, is destroying the concept of international law. It's now clear to everyone that the so-called international rules based order isn't real and that the rules only apply to US enemies like Russia.

I think we're seeing a repeat of the League of Nations.

Clown country

Holy hell, how can he say that with a straight face?

I can't imagine what it takes to stand up there and say that shit with a straight face. Fuck you for representing my country.

Thought this was an Onion article from the headline

the US says it has not found looked for evidence of Israel violating humanitarian law.

FTF them.

US helps commit genocide.

Brought to you by the same country that invaded iraq for Weapons of Mass Destruction that were never found..

i knew biden would be disappointing but fuck... not "incredibly horrible"

so, now the election is between incredibly horrible and unimaginably worse...

US/Europe's support of Israel and condemnation of Russia pretty much just shows the rest of the world what hypocrites they are.

Why would anybody think that the US could have beef with settlers killing civilians?

Cops investigated themselves and found no wrong doing

And anyone trusts anything the US says why?

US is an accomplice, so of course they can't admit to Israel violating international law.

Until every member of the US and Israeli cabinets are swinging from a fucking tree

Oh okay we'll just take your word for it then

"We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

John Kirby's just trying to figure out whether or not he's become a real boy yet.

That is because Washington sees white people as human, and everyone else as subhuman.

I wish some of the reporters had said to him in the last interview, "so, they've investigated themselves and found they did nothing wrong?"

Axis of Genocide: Washington, London, Berlin, Tel Aviv.

That spokesperson doesn’t reflect well on his agency, our government or our people.

Day after day, US gov and ‘Is-not-real’ digging their own graves.

Since when is the US government the IC-fucking-J?

Every US foreign secretary spox is a step more disgusting than the previous one.

all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

Fuck off.

and the rest of the world says you're complicit in their genocide.

USian here: Yes they did.

holy hypocracy

After policy: When you're the king of the mountain, war crimes are literally what you say they are.

huh I didn't think the US could have even less credibility on war crimes

The reason is that it has not issued any findings yet. It is going to in a few months.

This is clever wordplay, nothing more.

Edit: fuck me, it's as if no one gives a shit about the truth anymore. It's all kneejerk reactions.

This is a non-story. Governments don't just willy nilly declare that somebody has or has not committed a war crime. It goes through an entire process. That process has not completed yet (in the US anyway). There are no findings yet. Therefore until the findings are released, the US has not found that Israel has done anything.

Meanwhile Joe Bellend has given what, over R600 billion ZAR to Isisrael to destroy R500 billion ZAR of infrastructure, rendered all public services inoperable or at best terminal, a homicide rate of 3.6%+ and in the northern half, the equivalent of Nelson Mandela Bay wiped from the map with a food crisis bordering that of Auschwitz (no this is not an exaggeration). Most if not all consular services have also been destroyed, leaving numbers of "external refugees" to seek aid from the UN, whose functions are also in terminal crisis.

All this with massive praise from the cracker-sphere, whose rhetoric becomes more bloodthirsty by the day, with the stance of "every man, woman, child and infant between Gaza and Gauteng is a terrorist" also starting to become prevalent. Except Ireland; Ireland is the only actually good western country.

The Jihad against the "African Christian Democratic Party" and the "South African Friends of Israel" will continue until conditions improve.

Let's say it was Trump's press secretary, and Russia they were defending..

Would you feel any different?

Whew laddie

That is what we call a lie by stating a correct statement.

Why? It is only a correct statement because Israel has and had already violated International Law before the recent Gaza war.

A truthful statement would be, "Israel continues to break international law in the current Gaza War as it has done for years and per over 30 UN Resolutions."

The power of words, friends.

This guy reminds me of Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf.

But of course.

…and America used to be the good guy.

As much as I hate it, from my understanding he's right (expect for genocide). The UN doesn't recognize Palestine as a country. Ergo internal conflict

Genocide is one of the only ways a country can break international laws without an international conflict

I wonder if this will get me downvoted:

Has not found evidence ≠ Has not.

I still think they're blind, but let's not misconstrue what was actually said.
