    “International Law” is the funniest concept in the world, because a “law” only has the strength of its enforcement, and who’s going to actually make Israel follow a rule?

        You would think so. But this is Israel we’re talking about. They don’t get sanctioned. If this was Iran, or Russia, then sure. But Israel? They were only defending themselves. Or whatever excuse is used to justify anything they do against international law.

        USA and NATO will never sanction an ally. Almost all superpowers did horrible things but the west never got sanctioned.

        International law is applied on non-west allies only.
