> Allies like Israel can do whatever they like.

US has always looked the other way when Israel killed innocent civilians. But there were some limits on how far they could go. The difference now is that those limits have been removed.

That's what's interesting about this move (and all the other moves). We've stopped pretending we're good, signaling instead the prospect of violence to enemies foreign and domestic.

> The US Government has never cared about human rights.

This is a blatant lie. /s

They do care, and have always cared, about human rights. The human rights of the US Government and their sponsors.
