This article talks about how people shouldn’t have consequences or it’ll push the population further right then go on to say this:

The brutal fact is that if Netanyahu and Gallant were the bloodthirsty genocidaires that their critics claim them to be, the death toll in Gaza would be orders of magnitude higher than what we see today. The Rwandan genocide, for example, was perpetrated over several weeks and resulted in 800,000 deaths

This is satire, right?

Can you cite where it says there should be no consequences?

Edit: to anyone down voting, not that these numbers mean much to me, would you care to back up the above user’s claim? Because I think bias is showing through instead of actual consideration.

What do you think the consequences will be?

I can’t even begin to make any sort of judgement on that, there are multitudes of mechanisms at their disposal I’m surely unaware of that could be employed. Netanyahu may be suffering his own consequences at home without help from the outside, creating a setting for the ICC in the near future to come after him in a different way with fewer potential pitfalls, though again I can’t say what should be done. I can see the author’s point in how this action could potentially not lead to peace right now, and agree.

But would court action against Israel help end the conflict? RAND’s Raphael Cohen argues that it is likely to backfire, bolstering Netanyahu politically and making Israel more likely to shift to the right.

It’s right in the preamble of the article you posted.

Have you read it?

Can you show me in that quote where it says there should be no consequences? Not that it will push people to the right.

What a uttermost piece of garbage this article is. Like everything trying to bleach the Israel actions

This genocide propaganda does not have a place here. They need to feel that they are not in the right side of the history.

Sigh, not the first time these highly reputable sources have been called propaganda.

The fuck, you link to a Website that is saying this is reputable because semantics and potatoes.

Do you want reputable sources?

Check U.N. Which US and Israel are also members and then try to contain the shock of what is their opinion. If you are not fully convive then you can continue with several Un agencies, routers new agency and basically the rest of the world outside us.

My god, people really grab a burning nail instead of accepting the truth.

Hmm, the side bar says I should use mbfc in order to spot misinformation. Did I do it wrong?
