Satire for Sanity
So a court will decide for Bush, but you have decided against Israel when no court has done so.
Don't you think that is contradictory?
It seems that you're not entirely on top of the concept of international law. If a state acts in contravention of customary law, specific ratified treaties and agreements, United Nations membership commitments, etc. then that state is recognized as acting illegally without recourse to the international courts for some form of declaration- which is what you appear to be seeking. The United Nations General Assembly is empowered to judge illegalities according to the laws already enshrined in the UN structure. That's what it's for.
The Security Council is the executive arm of the United Nations. That means that the SC is empowered to order action against states which act in contravention of international law. The structure of the SC is such that any permanent member can veto such action- and the US veto is all that has kept Israel alive for sixty years. That doesn't mean to say that Israel isn't already guilty of breaches of international law, it simply means that Washington Zionists have- so far- managed to prevent the international community from taking action against it.
So- Trump is promoting the trashing of established international law and , were he POTUS, he would be inciting criminality by openly supporting Israel's illegal settlement program. Smug neoZionism supporters might think that that's the end of the matter- but the rest of the international community, those who depend upon international law in all of their international dealings- will seek retribution against the United States, whether the president who seeks to trash international law is Trump, Clinton or any other Washington neoZionist.
We do not live in a world wherein it is wise to have the international community seeking retribution against the United States. Past leaders have been wary enough to simply punt the issue of Israeli criminality. Should one actually endorse it then the international shit will well and truly hit the international fan.
Have you any idea how deep in debt the US is to China ?
