Lick the boot clean

Didn't the US embargo Cuba for like half a century?

Still is

Genocide is against international law, too.

Aren't the ICJ, ICC and UNSC institutions of international law? And haven't they ruled over and over again that the settlements, occupations, blockades, and blocking of humanitarian aid to Palestine have been violations of international law?

Is international law important or not?
The international courts are courts in name only. They don't have power because it is by design and thus any rulings are non-binding. The only real power there is is the UNSC, and it is extremely corrupt as everyone knows.
- It sounds like for you the signature of legitimacy is not the soundness of legal judgments as developed within consensus and consent and principle based deliberation, but their enforceability with weapons. And so I think we probably have diametrically opposite ideas of what renders laws legitimate.

have all Palestine protesters migrate to lemmy now

They have no issues with sanctions on Cuba and NK, right?

Considering even this:
UN General Assembly calls for US to end Cuba embargo for 29th consecutive year

But if Democrats do it it is the lesser evil. If the Houthis do it, it is terrorism and you can't support that.

Rule number 1 of international law is that it is not a set of laws, but a set of agreements that don't have the power of law.

but a set of agreements that don’t have the power of law.

Rule of law is about having a culture of respect for law as a legitimate product of democratic institutions. If law is only real to you because it's "real" in the sense of boots, batons and assault rifles, the 'power' you are interested in is not the power of law.

  Law is a product of the government beating the shit out of people who break its rules. Since there's no world government, international law doesn't really exist.
That sounds a lot like the US constitution, amirite?

Please save me from this waking nightmare

Oh, you say genocide and use of starvation as a weapon of war is against international law too? WE CANNOT HAVE THE SOVEREIGNTY OF ISRAEL QUESTIONED.

Needs more "trump is all your fault because you wanted representation in government" gaslighting IMO

Don't know if it's gaslighting if you change it to say "Trump is partially your fault because you didn't want to vote for the lesser of two evils". Still points out a bit of how ridiculous it is.

Since when has law affected these decisions?

Welcome to the real world.

Thank you!
