Here’s a thought to ponder in your spare mental time.
What if after WWII the Allied Powers said:
We agree that the Third Reich should be put in charge of investigating The Holocaust
to determine if they find ANY “wrong doing” or “misuse“ of power” in regard to the treatment of
prisoners being held in Nazi concentration camps throughout the region.
And after this investigation, report their findings to a world body.
Now, what do you think the findings would have been?
Fast forward to right now:
The U.S. State Department is “. . . reviewing plans to sanction the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) unit the Netzah Yehuda battalion for committing human rights violations in the West Bank.
It seems that violations in the West Bank that were not dealt with by the IDF would increase the likelihood that the International Criminal Court would issue arrest warrants for Israeli soldiers and officers.
The U.S. was going to investigate the Netzah Yehuda for war crimes and if it was found that they had committed them discontinue funding to them specifically until they stop and correct their behavior.
You may ask, how would that be possible when we don’t know exactly where the money we send them goes anyway. And we have NO IDEA where the money we send Ukraine ends up.
Although Zelensky and his business partners have several offshore companies and properties, according to financial documents leaked in 2021 …………. well a guy has to make a living.
As for Netzah Yehuda they are a brutal West Bank battalion comprised of ultra-orthodox Israeli soldiers, which have been under review by the U.S. State Department since 2022. (Just a reality check …. it is now 2024!) That is some thorough review of brutality, child rape, torture, and beating old people to death.
And this was in the West Bank!
Now two other civilian units that were responsible for incidents of gross human rights violations against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank were also under review as well.
These units went through effective remediation and continue to be eligible for U.S. security assistance.
Would you believe effective remediation included bringing back to LIFE the old people beaten to death? Well …………….. me either!
But the Netzah Yehuda is still being investigated.
The United States is required to consult with Israel on actions that fall under the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act, but if the Israeli Government does not take the appropriate accountability actions the U.S. can shut down funding to specific groups. Sure sounds good, talk, talk, talk.
Well, Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, told reporters a week or so ago that “. . . I think it’s fair to say that you’ll see results very soon. I’ve made determinations; you can expect to see them in the days ahead.”
Of course Israel PM Netanyahu slammed Biden’s plans to sanction IDF’s Netzah Yehuda Unit.
“At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to sanction a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low,” Netanyahu wrote on X.
But rather effective SHIT. Only because Genocide-Joe is a dead man walking without any brains at all!
AND NOW >>>>>>>>>
“Washington will not go ahead with punitive actions it has been considering against Israeli military and police units alleged to have committed human rights violations against Palestinians, including the Netzah Yehuda Battalion, according to an ABC News report on Friday (4/26/24).
While the Biden administration has determined “gross human rights violations” were committed by Israel Defense Forces against Palestinians in the West Bank, according to the report, the relevant battalions will remain eligible for United States military aid.”
———- The times of Israel
Tubularsock is sure that recognizing “gross human rights violations” have been committed and continuing to provide arms to the violator is A WAR CRIME IN ITSELF!
Well …… only if Russia or Iran does it.
Maybe Israel themselves could investigate themselves.
It does give Tubularsock comfort that American Hypocrisy is alive and well on the world stage.
