The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.
Wow, just wow, textbook representation of double standards. Mind you this has happened before the current war there, and imagine how many unspeakable human rights violations have been committed by this so-called most moral army in the world, and what we do, nothing, absolutely f****** nothing.
Seems like the US is the lapdog of Israel.
Israel investigated the battalion over the death of 80-year-old Palestinian-American Omar Assad who died after being bound and gagged by soldiers during a West Bank village search in 2022.
At the time the US called for a “thorough criminal investigation and full accountability”.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later said they regretted Mr Assad’s death, and a commander would be “reprimanded” and two soldiers barred from senior positions for two years - but would not be prosecuted.
It sounds about the right level of scrutiny. You allegedly tortured and killed a man, and the commander was “reprimanded” and two solders barred from senior positions for TWO whole years. Damn, I think that’s even too harsh on those most moral soldiers. And mind you, this is only a problem, because the said victim was Palestinian American, if he was Palestinian, nothing would have happened.
America, land of the
freeinexpensively bribed politicians.Tbf, that was the easiest prediction since “Trump’s gonna be the nominee again”…
Took them long enough to figure out what the entire world has figured out by week 3
Mind you these human rights violations happened before the war. The lives of Palestinians were never rosy under Israel’s occupation.
Israel has been treating them as livestock for a long time and every time they were opposing they were crushed really hard. Simply the rest of the world cared too little about them and apart from a couple of strong worded statements of some states.
So in a way Hamas is reaction to this ill reatment and I dare say that if they have respected them and managed to find some peaceful agreement and treated them respectfully, this was and Hamas would have never occurred.
