What are you talking about, they have an abundance of "serious concerns" , "we're looking into it" and "we trust the army that is committing genocide to investigate itself"
Can I offer you
an eggthoughts and prayers in this trying time?
Because the weapons being sent are intended for a different purpose? Israel is just misappropriating them.
Kind of like when we send humanitarian aid that gets intercepted by a corrupt government, you don't just not send aid.
"The World Bank estimates that twenty percent of foreign aid is lost to corruption each year, and that thirty percent of foreign aid fails to reach its intended target."
In a new research briefing submitted to the U.S. government today as part of the National Security Memorandum on Safeguards and Accountability with Respect to Transferred Defense Articles and Defense Services (NSM-20) process, Amnesty International USA details civilian deaths and injuries with U.S.-made weapons, as well as other cases that highlight an overall pattern of unlawful attacks by Israeli forces. The briefing also details practices by Israeli forces inconsistent with best practices for mitigating civilian harm and provides clear examples of the misuse of defense articles, the commission of torture, and the use of unlawful lethal force. Lastly, the briefing also details the denial of humanitarian assistance to the civilian population of Gaza.
“It’s shocking that the Biden administration continues to hold that the government of Israel is not violating international humanitarian law with U.S.-provided weapons when our research shows otherwise and international law experts disagree,” said Amanda Klasing, National Director for Government Relations with Amnesty International USA. “The International Court of Justice found the risk of genocide in Gaza is plausible and ordered provisional measures. President Biden must end U.S. complicity with the government of Israel’s grave violations of international law and immediately suspend the transfer of weapons to the government of Israel.”
“The evidence is clear and overwhelming: the government of Israel is using U.S.-made weapons in violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, and in a manner that is inconsistent with U.S. law and policy, said Klasing. “In order to follow U.S. laws and policies, the United States must immediately suspend any transfer of arms to the government of Israel.”
"provides clear examples of the misuse of defense articles"
Yup, exactly. We are providing materials for Israeli defense and Israel is intentionally misusing that support.
But we won't simply stop providing it. Because if Iran decides to actually get serious and straight up attacks Israel, the Republicans will turn to the Democrats and go "How dare you let that happen??!?!?!!"
All the while recognizing they don't actually give two shits that the weapons are misused for genocide.
I'm gonna bully my Goverment to send Ukraine Weapons until the have enough to fight of the Russian Invaders.
Yet anothet "I don't understand geopolitics" post. Sometimes there are no good guys and everything sucks.
Why hasn't Hamas backed off?
Huh it's almost like there's a war over some holy land or something 🤔
As if these idiots were told their eternal afterlife was at stake and they better eliminate the "others" from their special coordinates or everyone will die a terrible gruesome death.
So, yea... Wars require multiple parties, any of which can stop the killing. They won't, because this is a holy war.
Enjoy your afternoon, Ozma!
What would Hamas backing off look like, exactly?
Genocide, much like war requires 2 parties - the perpetrators and the victims. You seem to have the two confused.
Gaza isn't anywhere near said special coordinates bruh. Even then it's not their most special coordinate.
I could be wrong but maybe this has something to do with being systematically removed from their homes and land and forced into a tiny encampment to live out the rest of your life as a refugee.
almost like some sort of concentration of the population to ease extermination
