ISRAEL IS A WAR CRIMINAL THAT EVEN INSULTS ITS ALLIES LIKE THE UNITED STATES.

ISRAEL IS A WAR CRIMINAL THAT EVEN INSULTS ITS ALLIES LIKE THE UNITED STATES — A BLATANT VIOLATOR OF INTERNATIONAL LAW

For decades, the international system — the United Nations, regional organizations, and powerful states — has claimed that it stands against war crimes, human rights abuses, and the violation of international law. Yet, Israel’s ongoing atrocities in Gaza expose the complete collapse of those claims. Israel’s conduct is not only a clear violation of international humanitarian law but also an open challenge to the moral authority of its own allies, including the United States, which continues to defend and fund its aggression.

A State That Defies Law and Insults Its Own Allies

The United States has, for decades, acted as Israel’s strongest ally — protecting it from UN resolutions, providing billions in military aid, and even proposing peace initiatives, including a detailed 20-point framework to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

However, Israel has repeatedly shown utter disrespect toward these efforts. It continues to ignore Washington’s requests for ceasefires, humanitarian corridors, and civilian protection. In doing so, Israel insults its own protector, exposing the United States as a superpower unwilling — or unable — to restrain a client state that acts above all law and diplomacy.

This arrogance has now reached a point where even American citizens, universities, and human rights activists are condemning Israel’s behavior and questioning why the U.S. should continue to support a state that humiliates it publicly while committing mass atrocities.

Evidence of War Crimes and Genocide

Independent UN bodies, human rights organizations, and global observers have documented Israel’s crimes in Gaza with overwhelming evidence:

• The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry has stated that Israel’s actions meet the legal threshold for genocide, with deliberate attacks on civilians, infrastructure, and essential services.

• Amnesty International has documented acts amounting to genocide — systematic bombardment, forced displacement, and the intentional blocking of humanitarian aid.

• Human Rights Watch reports clear evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including the deliberate use of starvation, indiscriminate bombardment, and the destruction of hospitals and schools.

Over 60 civilians were killed in a single attack this week alone — part of a continuous campaign of collective punishment that the world watches helplessly.

Israel’s military aggression, economic blockade, and destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure reveal a systematic attempt to erase an entire population. This is not self-defense — it is state-sponsored extermination.

The Failure of the United Nations and the Global System

The UN and the so-called international community stand paralyzed. Security Council resolutions are vetoed, fact-finding missions are blocked, and Israel continues to act with total impunity.

This paralysis has three main causes:

1. Political Protection and Veto Power: The United States repeatedly blocks resolutions against Israel, prioritizing political alliances over justice.

2. Double Standards: The international community enforces laws selectively — punishing weaker nations while protecting the powerful.

3. Moral Cowardice: World leaders issue statements of “concern” but refuse to take the steps required to stop genocide in real time.

These failures render the promises of “never again” hollow and meaningless.

Global Action: What the World Must Do Now

If international law still has any value, the world must move beyond empty condemnations and act decisively.

1. Impose Immediate Sanctions: Nations must suspend trade, military cooperation, and investment with Israel until it complies with international law.

2. Enforce a Complete Arms Embargo: All states must halt arms sales and military aid to Israel to prevent further civilian casualties.

3. Support Legal Accountability: The International Criminal Court (ICC) must pursue war crimes charges without political obstruction.

4. Isolate Israel Diplomatically: Suspend its participation in international forums and recall ambassadors until it stops its aggression.

5. Protect Palestinian Civilians: Guarantee humanitarian corridors, medical aid, and reconstruction support under international supervision.

6. Civil Society Mobilization: Global organizations, universities, and corporations must adopt non-violent economic boycotts against Israeli institutions complicit in oppression.

The Moral Consequence of Inaction

Remaining silent or neutral is complicity. Each day that passes without justice weakens the very foundations of international law.

Allowing one state — Israel — to commit genocide while mocking its allies and defying the world order sets a deadly precedent. It signals that power, not justice, rules the earth.

If the world continues this hypocrisy, the collapse of moral legitimacy will not stop with Gaza — it will spread everywhere.

A Final Challenge to Humanity

Will the world continue to tolerate a rogue state that murders civilians, violates every human right, and even insults its closest allies?

Will the United Nations and the United States continue to act as spectators while Israel demolishes the foundations of global peace?

History will not forgive silence.

Justice delayed is justice denied — and the price of this inaction will be paid not just by Palestine, but by all humanity.
