The Gaza War's Double Standard

I won’t argue with your assertions; on the contrary, I consider them entirely consistent within the notions of what is right that you’ve expressed. Moreover, the very attempt to “correct a mistake,” I believe, is noble (especially if fixing the system is still possible). Moreover, if the approach to regulation you propose wins, and justice prevails, I will be the happiest man on earth.

However, my personal expectations of justice prevailing in the world have not borne fruit. And, most likely, in my previous reply, I described my bitter experience of the destruction of my idealistic views and my transformation into a “realist” with a “flair of melancholy.”

Perhaps you might be interested in this note on international law that I wrote a little earlier: War is dead; we killed it

However, I can’t help but ask you: what do you think is preferable—the freedom of a citizen to speak or the state’s duty to listen?
