    I’ve honestly just stopped doing that explainer because Israel is using it illegally.

      True. But the propaganda line doesn’t acknowledge the distinction, and just tries to spread the idea that the US does not care about international law, which is false.

        Ahhh yes. I had someone run that with landmines too. According to them we can’t get in compliance with international law until we de-mine the Korean DMZ…

          Landmines are also not banned. There’s a lot of subtly misleading bullshit on the internet.

            There is a section on them that most of the world has signed. It’s basically the US, Russia, and China that haven’t signed.

              It’s a little more complicated than that, because there are many different kinds of landmines. Nobody bans them all.
