This is my favorite response from you guys!

"Look, children may be dying and maybe we're killing them but we need to verify and we need more time. Because first of all what were they even doing there? Oh and also this is our Land anyways and there were no deaths nobody died there aren't even any children in gaza!"

This is a fine example of the irrational discourse that does damage to the whole situation.

Every case needs to be investigated thoroughly and punished accordingly.

Which is the exact reason you should be concerned. Israel has zero accountability for their actions, many of which are documented war crimes.

Did I say I wasn’t concerned?

at the point, advocating for neutrality in the face of overwhelming evidence of war crimes day after day after day is a pretty clear indication of not being concerned.

And who exactly do you propose should do that? The Israeli govt?

Hell no. Neither party in a conflict is in a position to do such an investigation. Who do you think?

ICC would be nice but the geopolitical gorilla in the room knocked them down.

The United States isn't preventing the Israeli state from cooperating with the ICC, Israel is.

So the civilians being murdered need to be investigated and punished? Hmm hot take.
