oatmeal<p>Quoting Yagil Levy on why the West won't intervene in Gaza despite "Right to Protect" norm:</p><p>[...] No one in the West would even consider this, as Israel enjoys U.S. protection and is still perceived as part of the West, a segment of the Iron Curtain against the Muslim world, and one worthy of sympathy due to the trauma of October 7th which evokes the memory of the Holocaust. Western nations will continue to watch the starvation, destruction, killing, and displacement, as well as the infants buried in Gaza who also take with them Israel's moral identity.</p><p>The "Responsibility to Protect" principle, established by the UN in 2005, mandates international action when governments fail to protect populations from mass atrocities. Despite catastrophic conditions in Gaza with at least 30,000 [?] dead and 2 million displaced—far exceeding the Kosovo crisis that prompted NATO intervention—the West won't intervene. </p><p>Unlike Kosovo, where NATO bypassed the UN to prevent ethnic cleansing, the US vetoes moderate UN resolutions on Gaza. Israel enjoys US protection, alliances that prevent international intervention persist, and historical trauma influences global perception.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-07-30/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000198-5589-de6e-a198-dded1b8c0000" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.co.il/opinions/2025-07</span><span class="invisible">-30/ty-article-opinion/.premium/00000198-5589-de6e-a198-dded1b8c0000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.ph/TfSZ3" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/TfSZ3</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>"Responsibility to Protect" (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/R2P" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>R2P</span></a>) is a global political commitment endorsed by all UN member states in 2005.
