I'm going to leave this up as the question is not against the rules. However any suggestion of violence against any people will not be tolerated.
So wildly ironic given the subject matter.
This thread is gonna be boring af
The same way we held accountable the perpetrators of the genocides in Rwanda and Armenia and Tibet and Darfur and Myanmar and Bosnia and Lebanon and Indonesia.
I'm not that great with history but I'm going to guess the answer is fuck all?
Correct.
Also the genocide of native Americans.
Nailed it in one.
Kind of like Israel did for fugitive Nazis after WW2. Clandestine snatch-and-grabs, followed by perfunctory trials and swift execution. In this case however, it's hard to imagine any star sponsorship, so it will likely fall upon citizens of good conscience everywhere
The disturbing part is we can count on state sponsorship, it’ll just be from our government to Bibi in the form of more bonbs.
Step 1 is to get Daddy America out of that picture. As long as the US continues to be their bitch, Israel will never face punishment.
Stopping the genocide is a necessity. Getting "justice" for the genocide is a luxury.
Palestinians will not forget what happened. No matter the media cycle or influencers.
Convince the US that Israeli accountability is in their geopolitical interests, because otherwise the US will continue to protect them and provide diplomatic cover against international law. And, uh, good luck with that.
Mostly, it's the same story as whatever genocide in Africa. I'm not worried about the ICJ handling it, unless Israeli officials complete their irony arc by fleeing to Argentina. Or just win and occupy the whole Middle East, somehow.
The extra thing that really needs to happen is a detailed inquiry into how they've so thoroughly dominated the narrative in the West, so we can prevent it from ever happening again. Apartheid South Africa was supposed to be the last evil faction we fully threw our lot in with.
Israel showed the world how. They setup covert groups of Nazi hunters and went to work. The same strategy should work for any and all responsible for genocide.
There was definite political will behind those operations and at least tacit support from the western powers at the time. (But only for those nazis which they felt weren't useful to them).
I don't really see the same being possible with any country in the future. If there was any political will to do so, they already would have put pressure on them. And as far as I can tell, there's very little actual pressure on them.
So this isn't happening, unless the Palestinians are able to form a government of their own and get support from a major superpower with which their interests align.
Thermonuclear annihilation during WW3.
You can even hold your own politicians accountable lmao
Key word is "when" because currently they are throwing blows with Iran. But to answer your question, probably never as we would need a near apocalyptic event to tumble our current power structure everywhere to allow us to hold them accountable.
