Many tens of thousands of precious Yemeni children have already starved to death, died of cholera, or been blown to bits by US made and managed missiles. It is the American public’s cruel indifference that makes Americans guilty of genocide. As Martin Luther King once said, “comes a time when silence is treason.”
US WARS AND MILITARY ACTION INTERNATIONAL LAW, YEMEN
American Officials Could Be Prosecuted for War Crimes in Yemen
“Under international law, Washington—during both the Obama and Trump administrations—has been a co-belligerent with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.”
By Mohamad Bazzi
OCTOBER 10, 2018 The Nation Magazine
“Aerial attacks by the Saudi-led coalition have already caused immense carnage and destroyed much of the country’s medical facilities and other vital civilian infrastructure…Weapons transfers, assistance in identifying targets, and midair refueling of Saudi and allied aircraft—would make Washington a co-belligerent in the war under international law. That means the United States could be implicated in war crimes and American personnel could, in theory, be exposed to international prosecution.”
Forget about “international law.” The criminally insane war investors on Wall Street, who run the United States of Genocide, have managed to keep Americans, who murder or order murder, outside the reach of international law.
And forget about only “American personnel “ being guilty. Forget about “in theory.”
“If there is a God in heaven, He or She is aware that it is the cruel indifference of American citizens that is responsible for the tens of thousands of precious Yemeni children that have already starved to death, died of cholera, or been blown to bits by US made and managed missiles.”
Cautionary: ‘Ignorance may be bliss,’ but ignorance of the law is never a legal defense in court, including in the court of public opinion, which is always in session in the suffering minds of the parents of the millions of child victims of America’s proud but ignominious wars on innocent populations.
And for that great Christian professing USA majority, ignorance of Matthew 25:40 will probably be no excuse on Judgement Day:
“When you did it to one of the least of these My brothers and sisters, you were doing it to Me!” (English Standard Version)
Reading the above quoted from Nation Magazine article will give the history of US brought death and maiming to the children of Yemen.
The intention of this article is not information, rather it is to stimulate those reading, to mercifully begin to talk about the children in Yemen among family and friends. When enough people complain about the murder of children, some action can begin to stop it. As Martin Luther King once said, “comes a time when silence is treason.”
Let the dear reader make any painful compassion in his or her heart for the dear children of Yemen become a topic of conversation when and wherever the opportunity arises. This appeal to American readers was preceded by a appeal for non-Americans to demand justice for the murdered and mutilated children of Yemen.
Dead ‘Yemeni Kids? Murdering Children By the Millions For Money and Power Is An American Way of Life 3rd World must demand justice for her kids! Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s, cry “God bless America? No, no, God damn America for her crimes against humanity!” And American film maker Michael Moore’s “sick and twisted violent people that we’ve been for hundreds of years, it’s something that’s just in our craw, just in our DNA. Americans kill people, because that’s what we do. We invade countries. We send drones in to k
Out of a respectful and urgent immediate focus on the dear dead, dying and by Americans still destined to die children of Yemen, separate articles will be dedicated to the children where Americans are right now as well guilty of genocide in Somalia, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, and Syria.
