there is no right to food enshrined in the U.S. Constitution thus starving the poor huddled masses won't even require the scotus to look the other way

@petergleick

That we even have rules that say what you can't do during war, is obscene. It implies that there are things that are fine fuddafucka, just go ahead and kill and maim people. We're a fucked species is what.

@petergleick the Geneva convention at this point is a historical set of rules. There are currently two active multi-year imperialist invasions and occupations in Europe and Palestine. Both wars have routinely broke this rule and more than one other (I don’t know them by heart).

There are zero consequences for ignoring the Geneva convention.

@petergleick

I remember. I remember being taught many of these rules and agreements were made because of what was done to Jewish people. Their stories broke my heart, and I admired their 'never again' stance and advocacy. Which makes this even more hard to bear accordingly.

In every sense of the word, these deaths are wrong.

@petergleick

And the world is watching… like it did with the genocide of 6 million jews…or the genocide of the Armenians. In a world where the UN are a dead letter.
Shameless…
