    WSWS isn’t a great source because it’s based on a cause.

    However, here’s the report.

    It’s uh… Not good.

    At what point does the Foreign Assistance Act’s ban on sending aid to countries in violation of human rights standards come into play? It seems like we’re getting a report on a new war crime every few days, which is a breathtaking rate for a professional Army.

      I just saw a report that the US is going to agree to a UN resolution to let more aid into Gaza. I wonder if this is why.

        It’s looking like Biden is trying to score brownie points for Christmas season so people stop talking about him committing genocide in the birth land of Jesus during family diners.

      It won’t be popular here - but that report is just a report of allegations and is also not substantiated by anything?

          The report is just repeating allegations and asking for an investigation. Did no one else read it?

          It is not a finding of fact or anything similar.

          The report here also does not include sources or evidence.

          The current membership of the HRC is: Albania, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burundi, China, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Dominican Republic, France, Ghana, Indonesia, Japan, Kuwait, Malawi and the Netherlands.

          Do with that what you will.

            It literally tells you exactly which NGO did the original information gathering. And if Israel wants better treatment at the UN they should stop running an Apartheid government.

        Oh yes because Trump would use our forces to do it instead.

        Look, don’t counter with 3rd party. That’s literally throwing your vote away.

        Biden is the only way to beat Trump. There are backwards racists in the Democrats too. You’re not going to get support for anything than an old white guy until at least 2028…

            Not when presented with “vote him out.” At that point, you have to look at what that realistically looks like. If just pointing out what’s wrong with Biden, then bringing Republicans up would be. But if you’re looking at the choice between the two, it only makes sense to talk about them.

          Guy asks a question about what it will take to stop Genocide Joe from his Zionazi escapades

          I give the only correct answer since bombing children’s hospitals full of already maimed kids doesn’t seem to cross a red line for Biden
