Hamas 'Breach' While Israel Ignores 174 UN Resolutions
Hamas returning partial remains is deemed a 'breach' of some undisclosed humanitarian code. Meanwhile, mainstream outlets often frame Israel's actions as self-defense, even after they've ignored 174 UN Security Council resolutions, according to the UN Digital Library, and illegally occupied Palestinian territory since 1967. The selective application of 'breach' standards is truly remarkable,
especially when the breach isn't committed by the party receiving over $3 billion annually in U.S. taxpayer military aid. One might wonder if the concern for 'breaches' extends to Israel's consistent violations of international law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention's prohibitions on settlements, annexations, and collective punishment. Or perhaps, only 'breaches' by the Global South warrant
such urgent media attention. It appears some humanitarian crises are more media-worthy than others.
