A startling admission is buried in the @nytimes today: Israeli officials admit they are fine with “mass civilian casualties” in Gaza. The Israeli officials also cite the dropping of atomic bombs on Japan to justify the scale of expected civilian death in Gaza. Unconscionable.

Despite the International Criminal Court being created by the Rome Statute in 1994, here’s why Israel and the US have never been held accountable for war crimes and why victims of Western wars will not likely see justice anytime soon🧵#Gaza
