  • Can someone ELI5 how this isn’t recognised as a terrorism?

    Notwithstanding this flood of official condemnations, the authorities do not appear to be in any hurry to bring the perpetrators to justice; only one person was arrested in the aftermath of the attack, and subsequently released. Settler impunity has long been the norm: according to data from the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din, 97 percent of police files opened into cases of settler violence since 2005 have been closed without convictions.













  • You know if this was Russia, the West would have reacted a lot faster, but since it is good old Israel, they simply ignored their blatant human rights violations. And this bothers me a lot. Why does the West have double standards when it comes to condemnation of obvious war crimes?

    And it is really crushing to realise that everything is politics, even human suffering. Everything is first evaluated if it can be exploited for their own gain.

    The US applauded when the ICC prescribed Putin as a war criminal but at the same time thought of applying sanctions on the ICC prosecutors who were planning to prescribe Netanyahu and Gallant as war criminals. The same US which by the way refuses to be a signatory of the ICC, because they don’t want their own military to be persecuted for human rights violations. And that’s sickening. Like didn’t we learn anything from history? Why repeating the same mistakes over and over again?
