    Fucking fifty years too late

    75,000 people dead in a decades-long state sponsored murder, out of a population smaller than Wisconsin

    Billions upon billions of dollars, weapons every year, vetoes at the UN to give Israel diplomatic cover

    And it’s fucking not enough for him

    What he should be signaling his fury about is a US-enforced no fly zone and UN peacekeepers on the ground outnumbering the IDF, and the CIA inside Israel tracking down members of his cabinet to take them to the ICJ. He should be thanking his lucky stars that he’s getting “abstain” at the UN and “only” $3 billion worth of aid, and people are still trying at this stage to provide cover for his slaughter operation for some fucking reason. But no.

        Yeah. I was talking purely about what should happen.

        The US’s failure to move forward on supporting the ICC under Bush 2 was one among many great betrayals of justice by the US. Under Clinton it was actually moving towards happening. The absolutely phenomenal documentary Prosecuting Evil touches on it near the end, and Ferencz’s work towards making it happen.
