So Kristi Noem violated the Geneva Conventions, what a surprise;
“The humanitarian laws included in the Geneva Convention mandate that “prisoners of war must at all times be humanely treated and protected against acts of violence, intimidation, insults, and public curiosity,” wrote Secretary of the Navy John H. Chafee in 1971 during the height of the Vietnam War.
That means that “[p]risoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of propaganda,” wrote Jonathan V. Last in a scathing column at The Bulwark that pointed out the grotesque nature of Noem’s photo op, with the prisoners dressed alike, “crammed into a cell,” unmoving, silent, and not making any facial expressions.”
But we don’t live there anymore. We live in a country where the fed govt allies itself w/Russian & South American #dictators while taking sides against #democratic #allies. A country that threatens its neighbors w/annexation. A country that views the #GenevaConventions as namby-pamby suggestions that only apply to suckers & losers. A country that uses #SecretPolice.
And perhaps most importantly, a country where the regime no longer abides by rulings from the existing #legal system.
The goal is always the same, though: To use #prisoners’ bodies as weapons of political war & to do so against their will.
This is what evil, #illiberal regimes do.
Liberal regimes have standards for the treatment of prisoners. These standards are codified under the #GenevaConventions, which the #UnitedStates has signed & ratified.
Among the standards dictated by the Geneva Conventions is this: Prisoners may not be publicly exploited for purposes of #propaganda.
Israel continues to refuse to facilitate a rescue mission for nine Palestinian paramedics trapped in #rafah in southern #gaza, the Red Crescent Society said on Tuesday.
For the third consecutive day, the fate of nine Palestine Red Crescent ambulance crew members remains unknown after they were besieged and targeted by ISR forces.

Since #October7th, the #Israelis have violated the #GenevaConventions hundreds of times, which is clear evidence that they don't recognize international law when it is against them. That is why #Israel is making stampede over found #genocidal crimes on reproduction healthcare in #Gaza.
