Curious to see what the Dutch government will do. They have been one of the most loyal lapdogs of the US and Israel, but with the ICC being in The Hague, going against it is not a pretty look either.
We also have a court that has ordered we can't deliver F-35 parts because it's likely they will be used to commit war crimes, and the government is fighting that order. I imagine the ICC saying the same will not help their case.
At this point, I'm not even sure they won't bomb US troops if they were in Gaza, and I am pretty sure the US government wouldn't hold them responsible if they did.
It's so fucking wild to me that we need to resort to completely ineffective shit like floating docks when the reason we can't send trucks by land is that our own ally doesn't allow it, and our governments refuse to hold them accountable. Such a fucking dystopian situation.
My go-to is their "REAL" PLA brand. It's good quality, is made in NL and comes on cardboard spools.
I am a bit fed up with all the shit they throw in with each order though, there's only so many pens and stacks of post-its I need. When I remember, I add a line in the notes field to leave it out.
That's not what I am denying, read my comment again. What I am saying is that the warnings are just for show, because if they follow the warnings and flee, the IDF kills them while they are on the run
Not when reasonable effort to warn civilians is: we're going to bomb you, and if you run we'll bomb you too.
The discussion was literally about sanctions. Seems like a reasonable step compared to the "war" you immediately jump to, no?
Ah yes, because telling Netanyahu "please don't bomb children, that is not really nice" has worked out splendidly so far. Diplomacy without being able to put pressure on is nothing more than kindly asking.
Y'know what is the primary method to apply pressure in diplomacy? Sanctions.
Annoying huh, international law against ethnic cleansing. You're not even allowed to give civilians the choice between being forcibly removed or slaughtered. It's antisemitic I tell you, what are the poor Israelis to do?
You know they don't have to invade Rafah, right? It's not like ethnic cleansing is Israel's only choice.
