Nothing. "International Law" and "human rights" are fictional. No one really has any rights. As for International Law, the whole concept makes no sense unless we had a One World Government. We are approaching that, but the rule of law is Corporate Power. Corporations don't care about anyone's "rights". And they make the rules, not you or I.

I think about this all the time. I've come to the conclusion that the most impactful thing for any individual to do is join an already established movement or group that is fighting for a cause that is near to your heart and local to the place you live in. Your energy will have the most impact there because you can strengthen already existing work and don't have to invent everything from the ground. As for Gaza? I don't know. I can only donate humbly every month and try to look out for petitions to sign and join protest in my area ... and share, share, share Palestinian voices to direct the algorythm. Hope that helped a bit. Sending love from one broken heart to the other!

Israel would not be "fine". You all forgot or ignored the fact that the USA bombed strategic military emplacements in Iran and elsewhere before Israel began its assault on Gaza. "Nuclear power" ? If Israel chose to use them, the surprising number of other nuclear nations (including the USA) would likely end Israel's reign of terror once and for all, especially if a source were difficult to trace if due to a non conventional delivery.

Are you the kind that argues with everyone all the time? Are you the kind that breaks laws and tries to get away with it? Are you the kind that throws people out of your country or religion if they are not orthodox? Are you the kind that smack their lips and goes AHHHHHHH after every sip of a drink? Are you the kind that drives by the lame limping by? Are you the kind that threatens people with dangerous language? Are you the kind that gets ousted for evil and lawbreaking? Are you the kind that is indifferent? Are you the kind who thinks they should decide who should live and who should die? Are you the kind that handles relationships with threats, yelling, and intimidation? Are you the kind that rules with an iron fist or would a philosopher statesman be better? Are you the kind that does not include everyone and did not learn from your mother how to play in the sandbox with the other kids? Are you the kind that lies? Who set you loose? Maybe someone should net that YAHU! What kind of net should we use on Netanyahu? May peace, love and poetry, save the world. STOP THE WARS. FIRE THE YAHU’S. WE FIGHT FASCISTS BECAUSE THEY ARE FASCISTS. INDIFFERENCE IS HERE AND YOU ARE NEXT, WHETHER YOU SUPPORT THE YAHU’S OR NOT. Look what Trump did to Pence.
