How is this "plausible" genocide?

People build institutions, people can tear institutions down. Maybe it is time to rebuild International law.

International law is only as powerful as the nations who respect it. America and Israel obviously have NO respect for international law and the rest of the world, as proven by their scoffing indifference to ICC and ICJ accusations of genocide and their reckless decimation of human life in Palestine and Lebanon. IMO American and Israel governments have proven they don't give a damn about any of us, anywhere. Not even their own people.

Our international institutions are

vestige of white settler-colonialism, the UN was never set up to be fair.

If our legal institutions are not reformed then they will become illegitimate.

I'm referring to an article written by

by Craig Mokhiber

"Calls for reform are growing. And if the UN is to survive, the vestiges of the colonial era will need to give way to more equitable diplomatic, political, and economic arrangements. The principles of the organization, including self-determination, human rights, and equality will need to play a more central role in intergovernmental processes.

And WEOG will need to find its place in a diplomatic museum, alongside the top hats, all-male meetings, and smoke-filled rooms of yesteryear."
