How does accountability progress though?

Take smoking for instance.  How were the tobacco companies held accountable for all the cancer victims?  Pay some fines, back to BAU.  How was anybody held accountable for Cambodian bombing?  How was the Holy Roman Catholic Church held accountable for the Inquisition? How were the Cossacks held accountable for the Pogroms?  Who was held accountable for the genocide of the original inhabitants of Turtle Island?

There is never accountability for death at the grand scale.  You can lay blame, for instance blame the Nazis for WWII, but you can't hold the Germans accountable for electing Hitler.  Who are you going to hold accountable for the refugee crisis?  Who would you punish and how?

Nobody will ever be held accountable for Palestinian genocide.  It may touch off a more widespread hot war in the region, dragging in the Iranians and the Saudis in which case there will be a lot of retaliatory bombing of Israel, but that doesn't make them accountable, it just evens out the death count if it happens.

The total population of Gaza is 590,000.  Population of Tel Aviv 435,000.  Call it 1M people all together. That is 1/8000th of the world population, 0.0125%.  If you wiped them all out, it's a tiny fraction of the number of dead people coming down the pipe.  Nobody will be held accountable for the 7 Billion that follow them either.
