ALL of whom are subject to detention without trial for months and years, not to mention collective punishment?
They weren't until the government in Gaza declared war on them on 10/07/23. Were the German and Japanese civilians subjected to collective punishment?
Quote:The occupation is invisible to most Americans, but you've at least been exposed to that history via a number of my posts. So whence the denial?
Because it's not true.
Quote:Demanding bias in favor of Israel up front while asserting they won't get a "fair shake" otherwise sounds a bit inconsistent.
Bias and acknowledging facts are not synonyms.
Quote:What the international community should pay attention to is the quality of the investigation and the results--i.e. "smarmy pedantry."
No, your smarmy pedantry equal smarmy pedantry.
Quote:Let go the IDF propaganda; allow the investigation to determine whether it is Israel, Hamas or both who are "maximizing civilian casualties."
It's not propaganda, it's an established fact. I've provided links. It's been proving numerous times. I don't trust any organization, or person, who treats Israel and terrorist gang rapists, infant kidnappers and murderers as equal actors. Neither does Joe Biden, so maybe you should vote for Trump?
Quote:Back to "globalization"--why should that be resisted? How does that figure into accountability for war crimes in Gaza?
Oh, yes sir. It should be resisted as any movement that would result in me losing any of my rights as a US citizen is an automatic non-starter.
