[US] DOJ takes a stand against war crimes in Ukraine. In Gaza war, it's been nearly silent

This is the best summary I could come up with:

After the Kremlin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Attorney General Merrick Garland and the U.S. Justice Department moved quickly — and publicly — to hold Russia to account for possible war crimes.

In speeches and news conferences, including on a surprise visit to Ukraine in June 2022, Garland condemned Russia's military onslaught and the "war crimes that the entire world has seen."

The U.S. has designated Hamas a terrorist organization, and American prosecutors could pursue terrorism charges against the group's fighters instead of war crimes, if that would make a stronger case in U.S. court.

In some instances, the Pentagon and State Department are also allowed to weigh in on the potential benefits or adverse consequences for Americans, U.S. officials or troops of pursuing such a prosecution.

The U.S. has only brought one case to date under the U.S. war crimes statute --the prosecution in December against the four Russian soldiers for allegedly abducting and torturing and American civilians in southern Ukraine.

This week, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, Jacob Flickinger, was killed by an Israeli airstrike on a convoy of vehicles from the humanitarian group World Central Kitchen.

The original article contains 1,494 words, the summary contains 190 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

The hypocrisy has been astounding.

Selective righteousness
