Why does no country stand up to this genocide?Originally Posted by jon1959

This is a rapid run through a number of examples of Israel committing terrible war crimes against the Palestinian people. Starting with the shooting of Palestinians while approaching or queuing up for food in Gaza but mainly focusing on the West Bank touching on the ethnic cleansing of Masafer Yatta, the settler attacks that lead to arrests of Palestinians and the evictions of tens of thousands from refugee camps in Jenin and Tulkarm as well as the fears of many in Balata, the largest refugee camp in the West Bank.
The injustice is intolerable and yet the people of Palestine have little choice but to tolerate it; and our governments also tolerate it, rarely doing more than “condemn” these actions and often not even that.
We currently have a hysterical news cycle as well as pronouncements in Parliament and from the Chief Rabbi over some words uttered at a music festival that the Chief Rabbi had the gall to call “Jew hate”. Many people across the world are asking why Israel’s war crimes, some outlined below, seem to provoke far less reaction from those with the power to act than words and symbols. The double standards are in plain sight and the false allegations of antisemitism are having less and less impact on more and more people.
