'There are no red lines anymore' says UN Palestinian rights expert on US sanctions

Is she promoting a new book?

I pay no heed to the UN on this matter.

She also thinks that America is "subjugated by the Jewish lobby".

When I see Russia and China on human rights committees, or Iran on a committee for women's rights I wonder if it's some misguided attempt at 'community service' to help them see the error of their ways.
Then I give my head a wobble and realise it's the world of geopolitics....apparently size matters, who knew?

I don't know what's more depressing, the fact that people here are supporting genocide or that this site allows it. I don't suppose they understand how it even works.

I don't think anyone here supports genocide. If this site depresses you, look after your mental health.

Quite. More attempts at guilt tripping.

Oh I think we do know that people are defending genocide. Removing language doesn't decrease knowledge. It's more of an existential depression surrounding what others are capable of, rather than a personal experience.

I'm not seeing guilt. Mocking perhaps, but not guilt. You can't use the usual techniques on people, it's not working.

We see
God sees

I'm glad God sees. He also sees his Israel being targeted.

Who here is supporting genocide?

She’s not alone is thinking that.

The author is Jewish, and is a very well respected professor of history.

Nobody in their right mind will openly admit supporting a genocide online though.

You say that as if it is obviously crazy talk.

But how would you assess whether it is true? I mean, at least the UK owned that they had a “Special Relationship” with the US (for all it was worth when push came to shove). Many people have independently arrived at the same conclusion, and you’re view is that it cannot even be mentioned?

Oi oi, hope you're not misgendering god, personification of deities gives them human flaws. God didn't create man in his image as per genesis, rather the other way round.

I like Dave Allen's take, 'may your God go with you'. He knew a thing or two about religious divisions.

One would have to believe a genocide is taking place, to feel guilt. There was a genocide on 7/10. People, (unwittingly), show their support for that.

😆 🤣 fair point

How would you assess it's influence in American politics compared to the NRA, BLM, the oil lobby. Politics is a mess of balancing competing interests, geopolitics even more so, the UN is an interesting and slightly terrifying case study.

The difference is that the NRA and others are made up of US citizens and are subject to US law.

The general rule is that a country should not work against its own best interests in service to another sovereign nation. Especially without oversight. Or do you see it differently.

… and the implication we are expected to draw “The NRA lobbies, therefore IDF action in Gaza are not to be scrutinized” is reprehensible.

I hear there are two types of people, those that extrapolate conclusions from incomplete data

You think there are no other countries lobbying the US?
You also seem to think Israel is able to persuade the US to work against it's best interest.
I suspect some bias on your part.

Isn’t Albanese the disgusting anti-semite who pretends to be a lawyer, has been sanctioned by the US personally and has been funded by pro Hamas groups?

Says something that 2.4% of the population (the vast majority ordinary people without any more power than the average American) can ‘subjugate’ the rest of the population doesn’t it?

On another note I discovered yesterday that all the major superhero characters including Marvel, DC and X-Men were created by Jews.

Maybe they were hiding in plain sight😉
