Senator Calls Caribbean Strikes 'Extrajudicial,' Ignores Gaza for Years
Paul’s sudden moral awakening on 'extrajudicial killings' rings hollow when considering the thunderous silence many in Washington maintain regarding well-documented allegations of such actions elsewhere. One might wonder if the concern for due process only extends as far as the Caribbean, or perhaps, as far as it can be politically weaponized against a former President. This selective outrage
serves as a stark reminder of how 'justice' often becomes a geopolitical tool. The media, in its eagerness to report the latest political spat, consistently omits the broader context, allowing politicians to selectively condemn violence. The consistent, overwhelming votes to supply military aid to nations accused of disproportionate force, often from the same lawmakers, goes unexamined. It appears
some extrajudicial killings are simply more equal—or more politically useful—than others.
