A State Department document on Israel’s usage of U. S. arms tried to satisfy both pro- and anti- Israel voices, creating a kills of contradicting headlines.
” Biden presidency says Israel is not violating U. S. arms words”, reported NBC. ” US says Israel’s usage of US hands likely violated international law, but information is incomplete”, said the AP. The Obama administration acknowledged probable Jewish arms abuse in a report to Congress, according to USA Today.
Several linked to the actual file, so that readers may look through it and determine for themselves.
The State Department’s claim that it was “reasonable” to believe that Israel had used British arms in ways that “violated international humanitarian law” or international human rights law is clear, given that “it is largely dependent on U.S. made” arms.
Therefore, anti-Israel activists can assert that the State Department found no proof that Israel had broken international law, while those who support Israel may assert that the State Department found no proof.
The review only added a small amount of information about Hamas ‘ use of civilians as human shields, about Israel’s efforts to protect civilians, as well as its analytical and administrative procedures for handling misconduct claims.
The inconsistencies in the report may be more a product of conflicting interests inside and outside the State Department than the information. There is both substance for Israel’s supporters to use and for critics to snoop on.
