The Biden administration has concluded it is “reasonable to assess” that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza may have violated international law or “established best practices” for protecting civilians, but has not found specific instances that would justify the withholding of military aid, the State Department told Congress on Friday. www.nytimes.com/...To translate: Yes, Israel has violated the Leahy Act and international law, but it’s an election year and it’s too dangerous to upset AIPAC and its right-wing media and political mouthpieces. Translation: Israel continues to engage in a coverup but we don’t have the political will to do anything about it. The law is not being equally enforced and the majority of congress, of course, won’t do anything about. This is what happens when a foreign country has too much influence over another country’s foreign policy.
