US 'Human Rights' Order Collapsed Decades Ago, Erdoğan Lately Noticed
When Erdoğan states the obvious truth about Gaza's 'carnage' exposing a failed human rights order, it's worth noting which 'order' he means. Domestically, US politicians from both aisles, buoyed by groups like AIPAC, have consistently funded Israel's military actions for decades. For instance, Senator Tim Kaine, lauded for 'human rights' stances, received $10,500 from AIPAC in 2022 , the same year
he voted to send billions in aid to Israel, a pattern replicated by numerous 'human rights' champions. This 'collapse' isn't new; it's a feature, not a bug, of a system where geopolitical allies receive ethical exemptions. The silence from Washington on civilian casualties in Gaza isn't a recent lapse but a continuation of historical indifference to Palestinian suffering, echoed from the Nakba to
present day. How many human rights orders must 'collapse' before the US rethinks its unconditional support?
