    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…

              I read it as it’s not up to somebody else to decide if your choice of vote is a waste.

              It’s up to each person to decide what to do with their own vote.

              Sure, they’re free to say it and the other person is free to point out that it’s not up to “Anonymous Internet Person” to decide what is the right way for me to vote.

              From my point of view in a system that’s nowehere as undemocratic as the US, these “things are the way they are, so we have to accept these constraints” kind of responses to that post sure look like the kind of passive acceptance of injustice so common in dictatorships.

          Just say “I don’t care about Genocide I only care about my student loans. Fuck Arab babies they can all die if I get some money. I am as morally reprehensible as every single billionaire I condemn”.

                  I’m just glad you don’t give a shit about babies, kids and women ACTUALLY being mass murdered by Biden.

                  Children’s hospitals full of little kids with already blown off legs are being bombed by Genocide Joe just to make sure they all die. But your fears are the only thing that matter in this world.

                    It’s hilarious you’re pretending you care about “arab babies” while parroting bullshit about “Genocide Joe” to try to have some moral high ground. It’s very obvious to everyone, you’re probably just mad the “wrong” people are getting killed.

                You just told a woman genuinely afraid of getting raped to get over it and that she actually hates xyz people.

                You need to pause for a moment and ask yourself where you’ve gone wrong.

                  You just justified Nazism and Genocide by saying “vote for Genocide Joe else something bad might happen to me instead of brown people I don’t know!”

                  Ask yourself that question. Where are your morals?

                    It’s an interesting video. I suppose you are referring to the part where Trump does not care about your rights if he considers you part of the opposition? Is this going back to keeping the Mexicans in cages or something else?

          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
