War crimes are seldom better; the small handful of prosecutions is vastly outweighed by the total immunity of the worst offenders. If you subscribe to the deterrence theory of justice, I think war crimes probably rank somewhere below jaywalking in terms of effectiveness.

The entire discipline of "genocide studies" has failed overwhelmingly not only to stop a genocide but has so far not even provided compelling evidence that it can accurately forecast a genocide.

Meanwhile, things that are definitively genocides get routinely ignored by politicians over mass protest

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Elad Simchayoff on twitter:

I interviewed two Israeli Air Force pilots who are part of the operation in Iran. When I asked what it felt like to enter Iranian airspace for the first time, one of them said:
β€œYou find yourself thinking, what do these people, so far away from us, actually want from us? They have a huge and beautiful country. Right now full of snow and lakes. Truly a very, very beautiful place. What do they want from us, this small piece of land? It’s such a strange feeling.”

A surprising number of Israelis seem to have already forgotten that they're the ones who started the war.

Look, I used to be just like you, afraid to make the change. I'd invested so much in the old way, surely I can't change now? I'm too old, maybe if I'd learned about it as a teen, I could have switched, I could have been happy.

But I did it, and it's made everything so much better for me.

On the first day of this war, the US bombed a school with almost the same exact death toll as when Timothy McVeigh bombed the daycare center of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. And our leaders wonder why Iran doesn't surrender immediately.

A podcaster is saying "There's this beautiful quote from Dan Savage that I think about all the time. He said "During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, we protested in the afternoon, and we danced all night, and it as the dance that kept us in the fight, because it was the dance we were fighting for."

The podcaster continues "I think a lot of us are missing the dance right now. A lot of us are stuck in the grief, both because we don't have a society that really makes space for grief, and because the dance really can't exist online. Be we need the dance."

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.
