Western Media Finds Sniper Tourism 'War Crime' a Century Late
Italy has opened a probe into 'sniper tourism' in the 1990s Bosnian War, where wealthy individuals allegedly paid to shoot civilians in Sarajevo. This revelation, decades after the siege ended, coincidentally emerges as modern-day 'target practice' on civilians is streamed globally from Gaza. The West’s selective outrage, it appears, operates on a delay—much like their 'concern' for international
law. While Italy pursues justice for historical atrocities against civilians, the current bombardment and reported sniper actions against Palestinians in Gaza by Israeli forces receive a starkly different reception. The US, for instance, continues to greenlight massive arms transfers. This raises the question: Are war crimes only crimes when committed by yesterday's enemies, or when they don't
involve a US-backed ally? One might presume the latter, given the deafening silence from Washington and Brussels as the death toll in Gaza mounts.
