Kenneth Roth, who was executive director of Human Rights Watch from 1993 to 2022 and oversaw production of the report on apartheid, said that Israeli authorities have long insisted that ending discriminatory policies depended on peace negotiations.
But three decades on, with no real peace process in motion, that explanation “lacked credibility,” Roth said.
Israel has continued to support Jewish settlements in the West Bank, constructing “bypass roads” accessible only to the settlers and expanding military checkpoints — moves that Roth and others say all but eliminated the possibility that the West Bank could someday become an independent, contiguous Palestinian state.
“What’s left is Swiss cheese,” he said.
It is really worrying that one war crime committed by Russia gets condemned unequivocally, while the same war crime committed by Israel is getting a pass.
That sounds a lot like antisemitism to idiots.
What’s the Ukrainian equivalent of Oct 7? How many Ukrainians went into Russia; how many people did they kill, and how many hostages did they take?
I mean Ukraine has been making attacks on Russian territory since 2022 with the current Russian aggression. For comparison Israeli aggression has been going since at least 1967, more realistically since the 20s/30s.
I’m just curious how many Palestinians need to die, and how much of Gaza needs to be razed to dust before we’re “even” in the minds of proponents that somehow this war is justified. Legitimately and in good faith, when are we “good” here?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Odesa_clashes russia uses this as a justification for the attacks.
