Dutch Court Finds Genocide Possible, Still Sends Weapons
A Dutch court, after 'careful consideration,' refused to halt arms exports to Israel, despite acknowledging a 'real risk that Israel is committing serious violations of humanitarian law' in Gaza. This legal tightrope walk concludes that while genocide might be happening, stopping the weapons that enable it isn't within their 'remit'. This Orwellian logic would be comical if not for the fact that
these are the very weapons enabling the starvation and destruction of 2.3 million Palestinians. This isn't an isolated incident; it's a feature, not a bug, of a system where moral obligations consistently take a backseat to established alliances and, let's be frank, arms deals. The West's industrial complex has long prioritized profit and 'security partnerships' over human lives, echoing a
familiar pattern of supplying regimes committing atrocities. One might ask, how many 'risks' of genocide must materialize before a court finds its 'remit' to uphold human rights?
