Israelis don't commit war crimes incidental to war.

Israelis commit war crimes because that's the policy of Israel.

It's the policy of Israel b/c that's who Israelis elect.

After reading this article, the "human shields" euphemism in no way captures the evil of what they are doing. I'm not sure what to call what they did forcing them into mined buildings, but it's so horrific.

Let's primary every democrat with candidates who refuse to take money from pro-apartheid groups that exist to do the bidding of war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

They are no better than the Nazis that killed so many of them in horrific ways.
What is happening in the world? Has plastic & poison fvcked up our brains?

This might sound trite but the Nazis didn’t kill any Israelis and Israel looks on Holocaust survivors with *shame*

This is exactly how generational trauma works in many ways.

its also how a society founded on dehumanization, ethnic cleansing & international impunity functions, eventually the pretenses start dropping away

Groups of humans are terrifyingly easy to lead down this path. It seems all it takes is the closing of the mind and an excuse. Any excuse.

Someone needs to start a pressure group for the US to join the ICC. It should be a litmus test in Democratic primaries.

justthewinddrake.bsky.social•5 days ago

What does a pressure group entail and how does one start it?

Lobbying organizations like the NRA, Emily's list, etc. Set up a 501c3 and/or c4, and a PAC, and raise money.

It's cliche at this point but every accusation is a confession
