Damn, Medic, this guy must not have got the memo that you don’t care about his writing anymore than toilet paper in a hurricane. He’s not someone you’d heard of so he can’t be important, just another obscure blogger, right? I’m sure he’ll quit writing the minute he knows you won’t listen to him.

What kind of person reads that article and doesn't come away knowing the writer's intention is manipulate the easily manipulated?

Show me where the UN Resolution forbid any of this?

But the United States went beyond merely declaring the resolution nonbinding. It has disregarded it. In the hours following the Security Council resolution, the Joe Biden administration authorized the transfer of 1,800 MK84 2,000 pound bombs to Israel that had been approved years ago.

2,000 pound bombs, which are “capable of leveling city blocks and leaving craters in the earth 40 feet across and larger, are almost never used anymore by Western militaries in densely populated locations due to the risk of civilian casualties,” The Washington Post reports.

The point is the apparent U.S. disregard for the decisions of the Security Council and the International Court of Justice.

The writer's intention is to explain that a Secuirty Council resolution is legally binding and that the US claims it to be binding when it supports what the US wants and insists it's not binding when it supports the other side. And that it what makes the US a menacing rogue state. The man is imploring us to see what we are making of ourselves.

If the writer's intentions were to explain the legally binding Security Council resolution why would he spend paragraphs pushing propaganda about the weapons exchange?
