Nah, last I checked I thought Russians kidnapping of Ukrainian children was abhorrent which is the subject matter of this post. The constant Palestine supporter “but what about xyz” is nonsensical, all genocides are disgusting and the fact action is being taken even on just one of them is nothing but good news. Dont let perfect be the enemy of good.
“Russia bad and Israel bad” would be the Principled, Humanitarian stance.
“Russia bad” whilst not only these people do not deem Israel bad, but they’re actually sending weapons used to murder civilians in Gaza, is just Propaganda. It’s not a principled stance, it’s like Greenwash but for Humanitarianism: using the words of Humanitarianism on the things were it happens to align with your goals whilst doing the very opposite when it doesn’t.
This kind of performative “Humanitarianism” and “International Rule Of Law” actions (hardly a monopoly of the Brits but, damn, they’re some of the biggest practitioners of the whole thing) heavy on the is what reinforces outside the West the impression that the words of Western leaders are bullshit and cannot be trusted.
This kind of haughty proclamations but only applying some not others, actually weakens the principle of International Rule Of Law and overall makes it less likely that Justice in such affairs actually happens.
The fact that action is being taken on JUST one of them isn’t a good news at all. It means international law is made fun off and weaponized. What legitimacy to judge war crime would you have if you very publically commit warcrime yourself?
The messages it send is that it’s ok to commit genocide as long as you’re aligned with the west.
