    ā€œItā€™s clear that there have been violations,ā€ one humanitarian official said. ā€œFrankly, why are people starving and why did you finally decide to drop aid from the sky or build a very expensive port if you yourself had not determined that aid is being blocked?ā€

    Well quite. If the report says everything is fine, itā€™s ridiculous, and if it says there have been violations: why the fuck didnā€™t you notice when the rest of us did?

        Israel is like, our only consistant ally out there

        Consistently fucking awful, yeah. Ties should be cut.

        Oh Iā€™m sure he did notice, the question is probably more of ā€œwhy did you keep sending them aidā€ to which the answer is ā€¦

        Youā€™re right though. Problem is the genocide convention which explicitly makes it illegal to do this and the US laws being ignored which say the same

    I have 0 interest in what a political administration with ties to genocide have to say on said genocide.

    Yes, they did. Yes they are. Yes, they will continue doing so because the world sits back to watch

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The Biden administration is rushing to finish a high-stakes reportĀ dueĀ to Congress this week on whether Israel has violated international humanitarian law during its war in Gaza ā€” a determination thatĀ couldĀ lead to significantĀ repercussionsĀ and further inflame divisions at home and abroad.

    The report has been the subject of intense debate for months across the administration and has already led to deep divisions inside the State Department, whereĀ some officesĀ have expressed doubt over Israelā€™s assurances that it has used US weapons without violating international law during its 7-month war in Gaza.

    Israel appears on the precipice of an incursion into the southern city of Rafah, something President Joe Biden has warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against.

    Meanwhile Hamas and Israel remain unable to reach a ceasefireĀ and hostage releaseĀ agreement as numerous American universities cancel graduation ceremonies after pro-Palestinian protests erupted on campuses over the past few weeks.

    Israeli officials, deeply wary that its findings could increase pressure on Biden to condition US military aid to Israel, have been in close touch with the administration as the report has developed,Ā congressionalĀ sources said.

    Last month, more than two dozen House Democrats wrote a blistering letter to administration officials saying that ā€œa failure to question, at a minimum, the Netanyahu governmentā€™s assurancesā€Ā is antithetical to the national security memorandumā€™s purpose.
