The U.S. found five units of the Israel Defense Forces responsible "for individual incidents of gross violations of human rights," the State Department announced on Monday – though whether funding to the American ally could be cut over such abuses under the so-called "Leahy Laws" still hangs in the balance.

At a press briefing, State Department principal deputy spokesman Vedant Patel told reporters that the human rights violations happened all before the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas militants on southern Israel and none happened in Gaza. Four of the units have "effectively remediated," he said, while the U.S. continues "in consultations and engagements with the government of Israel" on the remaining unit.

"They have submitted additional information as it pertains to that unit. And we're continuing to have those conversations consistent with the memorandum of understanding that we have with the government of Israel that was entered into in 2021," he said. "When conclusions are made under actions that fall under the auspices of the Foreign Assistance Act, we are required to consult with officials from the government of Israel, and that is ongoing. We are engaging with them in a process, and we will make an ultimate decision when it comes to that unit when that process is complete."

He also noted that "the remediation standard is consistent and it is the same for all countries."

When pressed by a reporter, Patel admitted that the fifth unit is still eligible to receive U.S. arms at this stage.

"When we're talking about the Leahy Law, what we are talking about our unit and component restrictions, when they are found in violation, it is not have bearing on the broader security relationship that we may have with a country, especially a country like Israel, in which we have a longstanding security relationship. The provision of bulk assistance that's gone back many, many years," Patel added.

War is one big human rights violation.  There are no winners; just self-declared victors.

Biden junta needs to stop enabling and coddling Iran and its proxies.

Title:
"Biden admin accuses Israeli military of human rights violations in stunning condemnation..."

It is not so "stunning", when you consider who's really running the "administration", their ethnic and religious backgrounds, and where their sympathies lie...

The Biden Idiocracy is the enemy for freedom and a supporter of terrorism.

If the Biden crew were smart, they would starve the Hamas led genocidal society out of existence.  Let Israel do what they MUST DO.

Biden and company need to shut the f*** up.  They are a part of the problem, not the solution.

Sadly, we are not being realistic about Palestine.  Even if all of Hamas is destroyed, the majority of Palestinians will survive and create a new government.  It will be led by a group under a different name from Hamas, but it will still be people that are genocidal maniacs, bent on their desire to kill every Jew, and the complete destruction of Israel.  Eliminating Hamas will NOT end that mentality in Palestine.  In my humble opinion, Israel needs to kill the vast majority of people in Gaza and send a message that lasts at least a generation.  Because killing roughly 50,000 members of Hamas will NOT bring an end to the insanity of Palestine.
