Isn't that what sanctions are for?

You would think so. But this is Israel we’re talking about. They don’t get sanctioned. If this was Iran, or Russia, then sure. But Israel? They were only defending themselves. Or whatever excuse is used to justify anything they do against international law.

America will never allow it.

USA and NATO will never sanction an ally. Almost all superpowers did horrible things but the west never got sanctioned.

International law is applied on non-west allies only.

You bomb us? You’re criminal organization killing innocent people.

We bomb you? You’re criminal organization and must be eliminated.

For downvoters: Please enlighten me if facts says otherwise.
