| zeldaring said: When i mention the US i'm talking about the funding and the ones in power. with out the US funding this massacre in gaza would have suffered maybe 6000 deaths instead now we are near 30,000. you do realizes also the US has veto'd for a peaceful 2 state solution for the past 17 years while 90% of the world has passed the resolution. |
Without US funding and using its veto 42 times to block resolutions criticizing Israel, this would indeed never have gotten this far.

Israeli High Court Justices Poised to Nullify Key Judicial Coup Law Passed Last Summer
According to the report, eight out of 15 justices support to nullify the law that removes the court's ability to conduct judicial review on government decisions. A final ruling will be announced in the coming weeks. Israel's Judicial Authority refused to 'acknowledge' the 'unverified leaks'

The reasonableness clause pertains to a provision that requires government actions to be reasonable and proportionate, and served as a benchmark for legal evaluations and judicial reviews of government decisions.
If anything, this war is a stark warning to Europe, voting for right wing politicians as a protest vote to current government woes is a terrible idea.
It's not as anything like this came as a surprise
