Israel is destroying international law and institutions. The Security Council, the ICJ, the ICC; if they can’t stop Israel then they’ll cease to be taken seriously by anyone else.
We may never know exactly how many people israel has butchered over the last 6 months. They are currently planning on building luxury condos over the mass graves of Palestinians.
The 30,000 confirmed dead is almost certainly under counted by a factor of 10x. And the genocide isn’t over yet. They are starving the survivors.
I look forward to the day regular people remember Israel like they do Rhodesia
Tomorrow: Israel to Stop Genocide in Gaza, Realizing It Tarnishes Their Sterling Reputation

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Assistant Secretary of State Bill Russo, overseeing global public affairs in the State Department, told Israeli foreign ministry officials in a call on March 13 that both the U.S. and Israel face a “major credibility problem” as a result of the “unpopular” Israeli military offensive in Gaza, according to a U.S. readout of the conversation.
“The Israelis seemed oblivious to the fact that they are facing major, possibly generational damage to their reputation not just in the region but elsewhere in the world,” the memo says.
The discord deepened Friday as Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Aviv.
According to last week’s memo obtained by NPR, Israeli foreign ministry Deputy Director General Emmanuel Nahshon disagreed with the U.S. assessment that Israel’s global reputation was damaged.
The Israeli government has solicited influencers to help target social media users in the U.S. and Europe to counter denial about atrocities committed in the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.
Israeli foreign ministry officials said the “silver lining” of the Oct. 7 attack is that it “now allows Israel to see who its real friends are,” according to the summary of the conversation in the State Department memo.
