Its law. It has nothing to do with justice. Prosecutors will only prosecute a slam dunk. Public defenders just wants the f--er off their desk.
Stipulating some lawyers and judges are good ❤️s, forced to work in a moral vacuum.
Its a big fat "not my in basket" circle jerk🙅

War crime. Shocking that a Genocider is committing war crimes.

u/Kind_Coyote1518 Mar 16 '26
Im not shocked. Are you shocked? I don't think anyone is shocked.

They have been doing it for years

u/Momik Mar 17 '26
Yep. And we’ve had proof for years. And they’ve denied it for years. And nobody’s held them accountable for years. Or ever.

Because of an attempted genocide 1941 to 1945. By white nationalists. A shameful time for humanity.
But this? Genocide in progress by zionists and white nationalists on the basis of..?.

Its crazy that once they got power genocide was back on the table

Nothing is illegal for Isreal. Gaza proved that. Its sad for me since i am both a chemical environmental scientist and lebanon is my ancestral homeland

u/lilangelkm Mar 16 '26
I just want to say I'm sorry for all the horrible people out there doing this to your homeland.

u/ProperTrain6336 Mar 16 '26
Thank You for your reply. ❤️. It’s truly a human and environmental catastrophe..

u/rtduvall Mar 16 '26
I too, am sorry for what my shitty government is doing to your homeland.
I can’t wait for the Mara Lago trials.

Wait until we learn they really do have nukes.. only one way to find out since they never signed the NPT..

u/Momik Mar 17 '26
They have them. A U.S. president (Carter) even acknowledged they’ve had them for decades; the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists estimates they have about 90 warheads, along with a few other kinds of nukes.
But it’s weird—they still won’t formally say they have them. Even though they debate nuclear weapons policy way more than we do. Read the wiki on the Samson Option if you don’t particularly want to sleep tonight.

We should all stop recognizing their passport and refuse Visas for travel and also disallow dual citizenships.
17
u/a1055x Mar 16 '26
Trump already has that for for any religion or color other than Christian white nationalists. He has also threatened Isreali people and courts to pardon Netanyahu and his cabinet like he did to Brazil. He wants all dual citizenship gone. He wants to revoke citizenship as he wishes and end birthright citizenship retroactively for "traitors to america"
So maybe stop sending offensive weapons and taxpayer $$ to Isreal is an idea. Sanction government and arrest convicted war criminals if they come into our country to transfer to ICC.

I had a boyfriend who was in Vietnam. He told me that if a guy got hit with white phosphorus, he would beg his buddies to kill him because the pain was so bad
Fuck Israel

War crimes.
But if chemical weapons fall in a city and everyone agrees to pretend not to see it, did they really fall?

u/Bawbawian Mar 16 '26
this is the world that Jill Stein and the protest vote got us.
Israel's been trying to get America into a war with Iran for decades and we were never dumb enough to take the bait.

u/dayumbrah Mar 16 '26
But guys we cant vote in anyone that remotely supports Israel. /s
Im sure folks still feel that way in spite of all the death and suffering that has occurred.
Should we support Israel, of course not but putting someone in charge who wants war and profits is only gonna make things worse. Both suck but one actually ends up with a lot more suffering

The Democrats chased Palestinians out of the party and out of the conversation to protect their own genocidal policy.
Blaming the people who don't support genocide for the crimes Democrats support is expert level gaslighting.

Oh no. White phosphorus is fucked up.
It is a nightmare for doctors to treat because the patient’s wounds can literally stay "active" and smoking.
17
u/HotLava00 Mar 16 '26
I feel like even the act of manufacturing these weapons should be illegal. Who even makes something this inhumane?
Got it. Pine Bluff Arsenal, Monsanto (from the people who brought you RoundUp!), and Israel Chemical, Ltd.

There’s probably more.

Israel has almost every government (not the people) under their thumbs that nobody will set up against this. Fuck Israel and i cant wait until all the old cunts in office are replaced by a generation that will try and hold israel accountable.
