    Killing over 30,000 people makes the world shrug their collective shoulders.

    Do you think Israel causing environmental destruction would sway people to think differently?

      No but international treaties love their technicalities, and this might be one that could be used to at least tame the slaughter somewhat. Saudis were recently appointed chair of UN gender equality, and the hope is that it forces them to behave somewhat at least for the sake of optics.

      “Yes we kill and maim, but we care!”

      @ininewcrow my feeling is that we in the international community are collecting evidence of war crimes against the possible day when the genocidaires can be brought to justice.

      That day may not come for another 30, 40 or 50 years but I deeply hope that it will come eventually.
