this seems about right. i think we might be living in the most orwellian times ever. numerous, independent sources of info showing that Israeli soldiers doing things far more barbaric than what hamas millitants do and we've got the entire media apparatus apparently just admitting it exists to defend and cover for israel. I feel like we are entering a new era, kind of like the start of world war 1 where the rules change and nobody is going to be relying on international law or universal standards of human rights. there was something like norms a few months ago and now there are not. nobody will take us seriously when we criticize over it. we've been hypocritical before. this is just in your face, open and blatant lying. these agreements have been murdered by members of the very community it was created for, after they had received some of the worst oppression in human history. what an utterly horrifying and tragic story. one of those "this ends in the worst way possible" kinds.
If there was another secular power like maybe the EU that had the ability to match the US then some of this could be contained. Right now the US does not really need to care about any of the (valid) issues you listed. Why would they?
