After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

I don't think it's good that the US is lighting it's credibility on fire to support Israel because it will make it impossible to stop other wars of aggression like Ukraine! You are not seeing the big picture. Next time Russia invades a country everyone will ignore the US's claims about international law. International law has to be applied equally or it ceases to exist

I agree. I also think it's better to have 1 genocide instead of 2 genocides. I'd much prefer zero though.

It does seem like there's some pressure for the Biden administration to stop being so hypocritical in their foreign policy. I'm hoping things are going to change though it's happening far too slowly. We're very lucky that we're not in another Trump administration or things would be way worse.
