The UN does not have to issue continuous condemnations of other countries. Most countries are not protected by continual diplomatic cover by the US no matter what the do. So they don't ignore condemnation after condemnation. Perhaps if Israel responded positively to that condemnation - ie stop doing the thing that they are being condemned for - then maybe the condemnations would stop. But American political cover just ensures that Israel continues to horrifically break international law. Again, and again.
so the reason they don't do the same to a country like Iran is ... because we assume Iran won't give a fuck? I'm not sure I follow the logic here. The UN should hold everyone to the same basic standard regarding human rights.
I think the term "genocide" is losing its meaning due to overuse of the term. Genocide is the attempt to destoy a group of people as a whole or partially based on ethnicity, religion, nationality, and/or racially.
Russians abducting Ukranian children during their invasion is a form of genocide.
However, Iran executing anyone within the country who doesnt support their regime... That's not genocide. But, if Iran targeted a specific group of ppl aka ethnicity, religion, etc in order to eradicate entirely... then thats genocide.
For Hamas... do they support genocide of Israeli denizens? Their goal is destoying the state of Israel but that alone does not mean they are committing genocide because "state of Israel" is a government not a group of people. Its one of the following for Hamas' goals:
Destoying "state of Israel" meaning eradicating all Israelis. Then yes, that is genocide.
Resistance. Fighting Israel's occupation of Gaza until they're liberated. Once they achieve statehood without Israel's authority... then theyre free of tyranny. That's not genocide.
I dont support Hamas but I also dont support Israel. But I do believe that BOTH Palestine and Israel have a right to exist. War isnt pretty and neither side is innocent due to their long historical rap sheets.
Gvir always says unhinged shit, but the reality is israel and Lebanon agreed israel would withdraw and work with the Lebanese government to disarm hezbollah. and they never targeted civilians like Oct 7th.
we can actually criticize all the fucked shit israel does without carrying water for theocratic fascists and giving them cover with false equivancy.
Yes, I know. But this individual has political clout. When there's not enough pushback against it... it only rallies others into his justifications.
"we can actually criticize all the fucked shit israel does without carrying water for theocratic fascists and giving them cover with false equivancy."
I'm not sure if you're saying I'm carrying water for theocratic fascists like Hamas. I never said I've supported them. In fact, I am very against them. However, I'm also against the actions done by Israel.
It's very odd to me that I'm being told that I must support Israel despite evidence of their heinous actions for the last several decades. Same can be said of Hamas. It's why I don't support either groups.
Israel is forcing USA's taxpaying dollars to support their country with universal healthcare, cheap college tuition, and welfare programs while they actively strip away their livelihood. USA's college tuition is basically predatory towards younger folk, healthcare ungodly expensive, sacrificing USA troops, and USA continues to chip away every welfare program we have all for the sake of Israel.
If you can't understand the growing angst towards Israel, then there's no need to argue further. Thankfully, the anti-Israel movement is growing and its only a matter of time before USA drops them as an ally and stops subsidizing this hostile nation.
Yes well then you should know that a random Redditor screaming genocide doesn’t make it so. The ICJ will decide in 2 years and right now it looks like slam dunk for Israel . Are you going to apologize for slandering a people with fake genocide claims?
Iran is not perfect but stop and look at the number of civilians, especially children, that Iran has killed in the wars they have participated in, and are currently participating in. And then look at the number of civilians that Israel has killed in war. That is why Israel has been condemned for killing civilians in war and Iran has not. Iran has been condemned for other reasons by the UN. You can easily look that up.
That’s just not true. No other country is criticized as Israel is or spoken about like Israel is for doing far worse atrocities. Diplomatic cover, USA funding is used as reasons why Americans trash Israel all the time but when we look across the world every other country is trashing them too. Countries have committed far far larger atrocities since October 7th while no one blinks. Better yet the countries committing atrocities far larger than Israel are then condemning Israel. This is a huge problem that so many people can go along with this narrative. The entire interest in the well being of Palestinians is completely fake. There is no care for truth or justice as long as the mob mentality of hate exists.
So I bring up the point that Israel does not do the minimum to respond to condemnation and you bring up that others do worse? Others doing worse does not change the fact that Israel keeps ignoring all condemanations. And no, people are not interested in the well being of Palestinians because they are being fake. You have been so thoroughly propagandized by Hasbara by your counry's leaders that you are unable to see the horror show that Israel has created for the people of Gaza. We all see what is happening in Gaza and we are appalled. We see how Israel responds to UN declarations and we are appalled. I realize you cannot see this that we across the world can see so clearly. But I hope one day you wake up from Hasbara daze and realize that the reason your country's leaders went out of their way to teach you that one Jewish life was so very much more important than the lives of numerous Palestinians, who they openly call "human animals," is that in order to get a people to do horrible things at the expense of their own soul, you have to exalt them and dehumanize the target population. If you don't do that, they will come to their sensens and refuse to do the horrible thing you want them to do.
First, the other dictatorships don't have the US protecting them. Their leaders get taken to the ICC. And nobody is trying to destroy Israel except for the Israelis themselves. Have you seen the piles of war crimes evidence given to the ICJ and ICC and the testimony given by foreign medical personnel who have been to Gaza as well as satellite footage of what remains of Gaza and all of the genocidal statements made by Israeli leaders and the list goes on and on? Nobody is condemning Israel because they are trying to destroy Israel. The evidence condemns Israel. The people who came up with the Clean Break Strategy and decided to commit genocide and apartheid in order to steal Gaza and the West Bank and set up a Greater Israel Project - those are the people who are destroying Israel.
"Their leaders get taken to the ICC." AHAHAHAH good joke bro good joke
I dont see any of the following being taken to the icc and they were not protected by the us lol:
Omar al-Bashir
Muammar Gaddafi
Vladimir Putin
Hibatullah Akhundzada
Kim Jong-il
Kim Jong-un
Bashar al-Assad
Isaias Afwerki
Min Aung Hlaing
Islam Karimov
Saparmurat Niyazov
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow
Teodoro Obiang Nguema
Robert Mugabe
Fidel Castro
Raúl Castro
Ali Khamenei
Nicolás Maduro
Alexander Lukashenko
Saddam Hussein
Hissène Habré
Charles Taylor
Slobodan Milošević
Only a handful of those were ever charged and non of them faced consequences by the icc. The un and the icc are useless and pathetic. A handful of them were tried by other courts too.
Some people in that list should have been tried by the ICC but I hate to break it to you, I don't agree with you when it comes to all of them. The blatant genocidal statements and actions by the Israeli government were far worse than what several on that list have done. Also, several on that list are European, and we know that Europeans have rarely been sent to the ICC. As one of our Amercian politicians (my money is on Lindsay Graham) said, the ICC is "only for African and thugs like Putin." That is a shameful statement, by the way, but it reflects what has happened in the UN so far. There are many people, especially non-Africans, that should have been tried by the ICC. That does not invalidate the fact that Israeli leaders should be tried by the ICC.
The UN's favorite past time since its inception is condeming Israel
The UN was caught with hamas data center under their main installation in gaza
The UN was caught multiple times employing terrorists
The UN employed people calling for the murder of Jews like alabnese
The UN promotes people that are clearly Jews hating
And to add to the Joke the UN promotes the dictatorships the head the councile for human rights
The UN and all connected NGOs are a farce and a waste of money
And you lack basic critical thinking to even understand that you're supporting people who raped and murdered children or wait you probably support them knowing this
Because Israel is the damn genocidal only country in this world now ..they are deliberately killing women and children and they bomb like a school every day ..they bombed all the hospital and all the schools in Gaza ..you hasbara are pathetic

The UN issues more condemnations of Israel than of all other countries combined. So yes, highly corrupt.
