The staffers didn't deserve to die.
One of them was found on twitter rabidly defending this genocide. They work at the embassy. They're defending this genocide as part of their job. They're directly part of trying to erase this genocide.
So you think that only the people pulling the trigger deserve death but the people trying to cover it up don't? That's a remarkable viewpoint
Yes? They deserve to be held accountable but even in a fair legal system they would not face the death penalty while those actually directly participating in or ordering war crimes would.
Great. So how long do we wait for said fair legal system to do this? Do we wait until after every single Palestinian has been brutally murdered or is that too soon for you. I'd also be curious if you can clearly define where said legal system exists and how it will go about prosecuting people like this.
Clearly everyone here is illiterate lol
The legal systems of both the US and Israel consider all government employees to be legitimate targets for summary execution, as they have demonstrated in Gaza.
Fair
Their family members and neighbors world also be considered legitimate targets for summary execution by Israel and the US, incidentally.
