Some context first so my opinion isn't misconstrued as as leftist stereotype. This is within context of the behavior described in the article.

  - I'm a Jew in USA, and served in the military for more than a decade.
  - I used to get annoyed by the Palestinian protests I'd see in the years before this, and generally sided with Israel, and the operations its military performed in counter-Shia-militia operations etc in the region, and was outraged at the Oct 7 attacks.
Israel's operations as described in the article are clear-cut war crimes. The military and civilian leaders responsible for these ROE should face something similar to the Nuremberg trials. I am embarrassed for my country's support of Israel's operations.

This is large-scale, continued, intentional CIVCAS.

They absolutely should face something similar to the Nuremberg trials. This is planned extermination of a group of people.

Unfortunately the Israeli lobby has so much money and power they would silence anyone who says that publicly by accusing them of being antisemitic.

Arguably then, shouldn’t China be ahead of them in line for Uighur camps, and the US for the Japanese camps?

It's possible to have multiple trials occurring simultaneously. Also whataboutism is not at all helpful to the discussion at hand.

Of course it is, so long as you don’t lazily reduce it to whataboutism. The point is that this isn’t grounds for Nuremberg-style trials, because if it was, nearly every major nation is gonna have to go through it. Like it or not, they probably won’t go along with that idea, so it’s a non-starter.

You see, whataboutism is really only worth calling out in super low risk environments, because the potential future consequences are irrelevant. When we’re talking about putting the world powers on trial, the future consequences are now worth considering. Get off reddit, it’s poisoning your ability to reason.
