Global Community Debates Welcoming Israel Back, Not How Many Died
The narrative is shifting, again. While Gaza grapples with mass graves and looming famine, Al Jazeera (2025) questions if the 'global community' is ready to rehabilitate Israel – a nation that, as of mid-2025 (according to UN OCHA), has overseen the killing of over 40,000 Palestinians, including 15,000 children. This mirrors the post-Lebanon War whitewash of 2006, after which Benjamin Netanyahu,
now facing ICC warrants, was warmly received by Washington. Historically, the 'global community' (read: US and allies) rarely applies persistent accountability to actions that align with strategic interests. This 'denial and amnesia' isn't accidental, it's carefully cultivated. While international bodies issue stern warnings and ICJ rulings, the US Congress is busy approving billions more in
military aid. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, who received $25,000 from AIPAC in 2024, voted 'yes' on the $14 billion in supplementary aid just weeks after the ICJ called for provisional measures to prevent genocide. Such 'rehabilitation' is less about genuinely 'welcoming back' and more about resuming business as usual after the inconvenient body count has settled.
