Please tell us who exactly is going to try them? The compromised, blackmailed, threatened or bought off corporate coloniaL West? They haven't shown up in 20 months, nor going back since 1948. We're still waiting.
Fucking figure it out. If you are in the USA it is your responsibility to demand this, that, and the other thing of your politicians and not just wait for someone else to do it. If you are not in the USA, deal with your own politicians.
Feeling frustrated that AIPAC and its ilk in other nations have been successful is not an excuse for mimicking Israel.
Out of habit and wishful thinking I do still actively demand of my politicians daily. But surely you know that our government has been taken over by ruthless multinational corporations and arms manufacturers making staggering profits on endless wars. Follow the stock markets for a dose of reality. We live in a raping and pillaging oligarchy tumbling quickly toward fascism. Representatives, any more than the so called "Supreme Court" don't exactly listen, or even if some of the good ones do listen, their hands are tied (or they've been bought, threatened, blackmailed etc.) and cannot ACT on their principles. I do very much admire your ideals and share them. The reality we are facing and the unspeakable terror and grief we are witnessing our brothers and sisters in Palestine enduring is beyond horrifying and heartbreaking. I can understand the entire range of responses in these comments.
I’m posting a link to a recent reply I made where my remarks intersect with some of yours.
We are in substantial agreement on other matters also, though I don’t explore them here.
I also address the ‘how’ to address this barbarity, a query put to me above which I address only now.
I regard it as axiomatic that current forms of governance in so-called ‘Western style democracies’ are proven failures and offer no way forward to address our monstrous crimes.
As I see it, it is necessary to leave behind what does not serve, and form new structures to do what must be done.
I couldn't agree more. And I don't know, cannot yet know, how it will happen, what structures will emerge to try these barbaric criminals, but I believe it will happen, that it must happen. I just received this substack which I've only skimmed, but it has some new (to me) ideas that you might find it interesting.
Certainly I know all of that. I also know that making a solid, persistent, large scale statement about what's expected cannot be ignored. But the values do have to be asserted in coherent and linked fashion, not piecemeal and definitely not based in gooshy feelings while actually undermining the law.m
As "Liana C.K" states in this comment directly our politicians are bought and paid for. They are actually enemy agents of The Terrorist State of Israel. I always get the exact same response from both the democrat senator and the republican senator and representative. "I Stand with Israel" every time. Yesterday was 58 years to the day when the USS Liberty was attacked by The Zionist Nazi Terrorist State of Israel. THEY MACHINE GUNNED MY FELLOW US SAILORS WOUNDED, BURNING JUMPING INTO THE WATER JUST LIKE THEIR NAZI U-BOAT COMMANDERS BEFORE THEM! Prior to this they killed JFK. These are all acts of war and the very act of murdering 34 US sailors and wounding 170 more MAKES EVERY FUCKING ONE WHO STATES SO CLEARLY THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE TERRORIST STATE AN ENEMY AGENT! They send our money to this evil filth who pays off their agents here with our money! Every fucking one of these Zionist Nazi politicians needs to be treated as the enemy they are and hunted down as a "Clear And Present Danger" To The United States of America!

This is probably the sanest, the most lucid comment on this thread. Thank you.
Well stated.

What are you demanding of your politicians?
