Amnesty Internationals generalsekretær Agnes Callamard skriver torsdag i Foreign Affairs, at Israels folkemord i Gaza er den foreløbige kulmination på Vestens demontering af den civiliserede verdensorden og de universelle menneskerettigheder. En demontering der startede 11/9 2001, hvor USA og dets klientstater indførte ulovlige krige og besættelser af andre stater samt systematisk tortur og ignorering af menneskerettighederne. Hun konstaterer at palæstinensiske væbnede gruppers forfærdelige handlinger af Israel er blevet fulgt af et "mønster af krigsforbrydelser og krænkelser af international ret".

“Today’s diplomatic complicity in the catastrophic human rights and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is the culmination of years of erosion of the international rule of law and global human rights system”.

“Such disintegration began in earnest after 9/11, when the United States embarked on its ‘war on terror,’ a campaign that normalized the idea that everything is permissible in the pursuit of ‘terrorists.’ To prosecute its war in Gaza, Israel borrows ethos, strategy, and tactics from that framework, doing so with the support of the United States.”
