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.
