It looks like they’re speedrunning to the finish line to get things over with as quickly as possible.

Since nothing is going to stand in their way, how can we make sure they are held accountable for generations to come?

Maybe we can have a day of remembrance for the Palestinians.

I’m afraid that once Israel has completed their genocide, the media cycle and influencers will ensure its never spoken about again.

How do we keep it fresh in people’s minds until the perpetrators and/or their offspring face justice?

    Israel is one of the worlds most powerful militaries, if they wanted to get things over as quickly as possible they could have polished Gaza off on October the 8th.

      Considering that the brutality of this war has only been matched by its incompetence, not so sure that’s correct.

          Hamas are all pacifists. They were trying to pass out invitations to a peace and good will gathering in Israel on Oct 7th, but the Israeli propaganda machine made it out to be some sort of attack.

    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.

    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.

    Offsprings facing judgement for their parents is fucked up. They didn’t choose their parents. As for getting the Palestinians justice after their genocide: realisticaly we can only try to make the right wing Israelis see them as equal humans after a few generations or support Israel’s left so they push them out. To do that we have to keep telling the Palestinians story. As for the real history beeing erased: as I currently see it the support for Israels actions is dwindling in the western countries. So I don’t think the narrative beeing replaced is realistic. There also is too much evidence for what happened. Israel isn’t all powerful.

    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.

    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.

      Amazing how these Nazi hunters never went after west German capitalist class or us researchers… I guess not all Nazis are the same.

        Why should they have gone after you? I don’t understand.

          My point being these Nazi hunters were very selective to not go after the good Nazi 🤡

          Which makes a lot more sense now that we see what isrselies are really about

    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.

    All that needs done is America threatening to cut off funding.

    If Obama hadn’t have done that, this would have all happened a decade ago

    Biden openly said he’d never do that, and talked shit as VP when Obama did. Kamala said she’d be the same as Biden.

    trump, depends on if someone bribes him more.

    But if America gets a progressive president next with the courage to say “genocide is bad” and actually cut off Israel…

    That will make Israel stop electing genocidal maniacs. The only reason they can vote for people like Bibi, is knowing no matter what they have the backing of America.

    Without that, they wouldn’t constantly be attacking other countries.

    It’s like if you had a annoying little brother that picks on everyone despite being small and weak, because if shit goes down, you protect them

    Sometimes, you got to let your little bro learn what happens when no one else fights their fights for them…

        It’s trump…

        If you’re trying to argue he’s loyal and won’t switch sides in an instant, well, I’d be shocked anyone but a trump supporter would say that.

        trump supports whoever gave the largest bribe, or the most recent substantial bribe. Hed turn on Israel in a heartbeat if it was personally profitable

      I don’t know that I agree. At this point, I think between the instability of their neighbors and the built-up siege-state of Israel itself, it would continue acting like a rogue state even if the US cut off funding.

      Which is not to say that we shouldn’t cut off funding - we absolutely should. And extend that ‘umbrella’ of protection to Israel’s neighbors, not Israel, which might at least reduce blatant incursions.

      But I suspect that the response of Israel to reduced or eliminated US support would be to become even more militarized, not less.

      Crazy how I know a guy with a shitty younger brother who is a completely inept sociopath and has been actively ruining his life and making normalcy impossible within this exact same dynamic. I can’t go into any detail because it’d affect their business, but it’s exactly this scenario. Last night I was warning him that he might lash out to preserve the status quo - exactly how Israel is right now.

    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.

    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.
