After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

After policy: When you're the king of the mountain, war crimes are literally what you say they are.

huh I didn't think the US could have even less credibility on war crimes

The reason is that it has not issued any findings yet. It is going to in a few months.

This is clever wordplay, nothing more.

Edit: fuck me, it's as if no one gives a shit about the truth anymore. It's all kneejerk reactions.

This is a non-story. Governments don't just willy nilly declare that somebody has or has not committed a war crime. It goes through an entire process. That process has not completed yet (in the US anyway). There are no findings yet. Therefore until the findings are released, the US has not found that Israel has done anything.

You seem to be a very savvy individual. Would you be interested in purchasing a bridge?

So in your opinion the US will bring the genociders to court a few months after there's no one left to kill and that's normal

Let's say it was Trump's press secretary, and Russia they were defending..

Would you feel any different?

holy hypocracy

That is what we call a lie by stating a correct statement.

Why? It is only a correct statement because Israel has and had already violated International Law before the recent Gaza war.

A truthful statement would be, "Israel continues to break international law in the current Gaza War as it has done for years and per over 30 UN Resolutions."

The power of words, friends.
