Also, TIL the Red Cross is technically supposed to be the enforcer of these conventions.

Enforcing is the wrong term, as it is a humanitarian organisation. But the International Red Cross in partnership with its Palestinian Red Crescent counterpart is very much active in documenting these violations of the Geneva convention and working together with the ICC. Of course with the world being as it is right now the impact will likely not amount to much, but they are at least trying.

Murican racialism is super dumb in this context. “White” doesn’t mean literally white complexion and Jews along with Slavs, the Irish and southern Meds/North Africans have never been included in the “white race” colonialism project, they were all explicitly “inferior populations” to the point of extermination.

The entire region is full of both “white” and “brown” people in the same families so this Murican simplistic af idea that races are real and that they correspond to skin tone and they’re all neatly divided geographically is scifi.

This is about western backed colonizers versus displaced native populations, not “races”.

bruh, many Israelis are also “brown people” by ICE standards. you think my dark curl haired hummus eating neighbor with a thick middle eastern accent aspirating into his cell phone is gonna be called white by a trumper?
