After Israel killed seven aid workers in Gaza, the US says it has not found any incidents of Israel violating international humanitarian law in the past six months. An Al Jazeera probe concluded the World Central Kitchen vehicles were deliberately hit.

The reason is that it has not issued any findings yet. It is going to in a few months.

This is clever wordplay, nothing more.

Edit: fuck me, it's as if no one gives a shit about the truth anymore. It's all kneejerk reactions.

This is a non-story. Governments don't just willy nilly declare that somebody has or has not committed a war crime. It goes through an entire process. That process has not completed yet (in the US anyway). There are no findings yet. Therefore until the findings are released, the US has not found that Israel has done anything.

So in your opinion the US will bring the genociders to court a few months after there's no one left to kill and that's normal

Meanwhile Joe Bellend has given what, over R600 billion ZAR to Isisrael to destroy R500 billion ZAR of infrastructure, rendered all public services inoperable or at best terminal, a homicide rate of 3.6%+ and in the northern half, the equivalent of Nelson Mandela Bay wiped from the map with a food crisis bordering that of Auschwitz (no this is not an exaggeration). Most if not all consular services have also been destroyed, leaving numbers of "external refugees" to seek aid from the UN, whose functions are also in terminal crisis.

All this with massive praise from the cracker-sphere, whose rhetoric becomes more bloodthirsty by the day, with the stance of "every man, woman, child and infant between Gaza and Gauteng is a terrorist" also starting to become prevalent. Except Ireland; Ireland is the only actually good western country.

The Jihad against the "African Christian Democratic Party" and the "South African Friends of Israel" will continue until conditions improve.

Let's say it was Trump's press secretary, and Russia they were defending..

Would you feel any different?

That is what we call a lie by stating a correct statement.

Why? It is only a correct statement because Israel has and had already violated International Law before the recent Gaza war.

A truthful statement would be, "Israel continues to break international law in the current Gaza War as it has done for years and per over 30 UN Resolutions."

The power of words, friends.
