I legit don’t understand how they can block a UN agency? Like, what? Is that legal - I know they’re killing UN peacekeepers which should also be illegal but this seems a step even beyond that. Can countries just ban UN agencies from working there?

    I made the mistake of looking up this news on Reddit, thinking this would be opposed by the people who love procedure and civility and “international law”.

    Big mistake. Don’t do it. You’ll burst your brain/heart from anger and sadness.

    we are watching a people be erased, in real time.

    I don’t know what to say beyond stating the blatantly obvious.

      I’ve had libs try to compare my antizionism to like deporting all people not of Native American descent from America (based) and I can’t understand how they don’t get THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW

      It’s not even close in complexity to something like reparations for African Americans or Native Americans.

        Try understanding your mark if you're going to go out of your way to troll them. No one is even saying this, lmao. Maybe you're just assuming it's one for one with the lib mindset about Ukraine?

        Anyway 0/10, very unimpressive attempt. Try being more subversive, give yourself a less obvious name so you can bait people into arguments thinking you're being serious. Of course then you'd also have to know what you're talking about, so it might be beyond you. But I have faith you can come back and do better next time.

        I thought Hamas was crushing Israel

        It's going about the same as it always has done. Unexploded JDAM bombs because the US makes shit bombs get repurposed into excellent anti-tank munitions.

        Just a few from last week:

    However this all concludes whether it be: the worst case, best case, or mixed case scenario I honestly have to wonder out loud how anyone is expected to take phrases like "rules base international order" and "human rights" seriously ever again going forward?

    Like I'm not naive and I know it was always bullshit and the rules have always been whatever we say they are but like...is this really gonna just be a case where everything is memory holled and everyone just tried to act like it wasn't all exposed as a fucking sham for everyone to see?

    I'm struggling to be cynical enough to believe it will play out like that...so I worry I am naive.

      It really depends on how much of the world is paying attention. They did this shit all throughout the Cold War and the global south still worshipped them. Maybe things might be different this time around with social media really highlighting everything wrong.

    Seems like a step up from murdering every UNRWA employee, which I assume was the only alternative anyone in the knesset considered.
