But genocide doesn’t get grandfathered in. Crimes against humanity don’t become less criminal just because others did them first. We don’t excuse murder or legalize ethnic cleansing just because others got away with it, or because colonialism was once fashionable. The difference isn’t just when. It’s what the world promised never to allow again.

Let me help you out, because you just confirmed everything I said.
I never claimed Israel was the only state with blood on its hands.
I said it’s the only one doing it—right now, in HD, with U.S. weapons and diplomatic cover, while demanding applause.
That’s not a contradiction. That’s the point.
You invoke history without naming it, hoping its shadows will blur what’s happening in the light.
But genocide doesn’t get grandfathered in.
Crimes against humanity don’t become less criminal just because others did them first.
We don’t excuse murder or legalize ethnic cleansing just because others got away with it, or because colonialism was once fashionable.
The difference isn’t just when.
It’s what the world promised never to allow again.
The crimes Yaron references happened before the codification of international law.
Before the UN Charter.
Before the Geneva Conventions.
Before the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
They were atrocities. And we should condemn them.
But Israel is not some relic of 17th-century empire.
It’s a modern state, committing televised war crimes, in full view of the very system that was built to prevent them.
And instead of being held accountable, it demands exceptional immunity.
It is armed, funded, and applauded by the same powers that built the postwar legal order on the ruins of mass graves.
You ask, "So it’s only evil if it breaks a law?"
No.
It’s evil when it breaks a people.
It’s evil when it starves children and calls it "security."
It’s evil when it cages entire generations and paints the bars as borders.
And it’s obscene when all of this is done under the banner of democracy, justice, and remembrance—by a state that demands silence in the face of suffering, and cries persecution when confronted with the truth.
If "Never Again" means anything, it must apply beyond Europe.
If human rights mean anything, they must extend to the stateless, the blockaded, the bombed.
So no, Israel is not "uniquely evil" because it colonized.
It’s uniquely protected while doing it.
Uniquely praised while brutalizing.
Uniquely shielded while bombing refugee camps and livestreaming the carnage.
You want to talk about double standards?
Let’s talk.
Because the double standard protects Israel.
It doesn’t target it.
That’s the part you won’t say out loud.
But the world sees it now.
And this time, it’s not looking away.
It’s taking notes.
