US selectivity in applying international laws, Israel's 'human shield' charge, and pressures on Biden for Gaza action

The chapter examines the United States' selective application of international laws to suit its interests, focusing on historical examples like the Iraq war justification and resistance to international regulations. It delves into Israel's use of the 'human shield' charge in Gaza and how non-state, non-white actors are perceived as global security threats. The chapter also discusses the national unity agreement among Palestinian factions in response to Israeli policies and explores the impact of Israeli bombings on healthcare in Gaza.
