Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.
The split is between governments and the general public. I don’t know too many individuals who are ok with what is going on. And if they are, they are being awfully quiet about it.
The people who are okay with it are the ones who hate the Muslims. Which is a shockingly large number of people and governments.
But those people still elect those parties thst support israel. Why those parties would listen to people?
