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.

Israel, with US backing, is destroying the concept of international law. It's now clear to everyone that the so-called international rules based order isn't real and that the rules only apply to US enemies like Russia.

I think we're seeing a repeat of the League of Nations.

That and brown people don't count as people.

That's the bigger one. They're happy to enforce the rules on brown people when they attack brown people, or white people on white people, and all hell is unleashed when it's brown on white, but when it's mostly white Israelis on mostly brown Palestinians you get crickets.
