Extended excerpt:

CHARLES BLAHA:* We give Israel $3.3 billion of foreign military financing every year, and that is subject to the Leahy laws. Arms transfers that are sales are not because those are deemed to be commercial transactions, not assistance. The State Department in 2020 set up a special forum for Israel to try to identify units that have committed gross violations of human rights. And to date, there has not yet been a finding by the State Department that any Israeli unit has ever committed a gross violation of human rights.

FADEL: Why is there a special forum on Israel? I mean, for example, Egypt gets a lot of military aid.

BLAHA: There's a similar process for Egypt, but it's not as formal or as elaborate or as high level. The Israel Leahy Vetting Forum has its own special rules, and it has resulted, as I said, in no units being identified.

FADEL: So are you saying it doesn't work?

BLAHA: In my opinion, it hasn't worked to date.

*Former director of the State Department's Office of Security and Human Rights

Just a reminder: At least some of the support for Israel on the Evangelical Right (and thus, the U.S. Republican Party) comes from their belief that the State of Israel must exist in order for prophecies about the Second Coming / Rapture, and not because they respect or support Jewish people. For more on that, see this video, from Renegade Cut (2018; almost 2 hours. But it's mostly the first quarter that deals with Rapture theology in America. Some flicker/glitch effects. Auto-generated English captions. No sustained eye contact)

I'm fairly certain that fear of alienating that cohort is one factor preventing a real response to Israel's crimes. A bigger factor may just be historical inertia.

We live in the nothingness

Bound by walls of thorns.

Slowly crushed

By the views outside

And our longing for gentler walls we dare go through,

We stare onto the nothingness

And imagine it in colour.

Ranboo: Dude– why do my hands look like that? Dude– everyone was making fun of me on the trip for having yaoi hands, and I don't know what that means. I don't- I don't know what that means.
