The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

    must have missed the memo where raping women to death, slicing off their tits, and mutilating their vaginas is classified as “resisting oppression”.

    I missed the proof this happened

      I did too, but what we do have proof of, in the form of hours and hours of grisly trauma-inducing footage, is quite bad enough. While we can rightly condemn its overuse, there is no universe in which the Israelis can be blamed for reacting with force.

          Video testimony of an eyewitness

          Police have privately shown journalists a single horrific testimony

            Fog of war. All information about the war is provisional at this point. The full truth will come out eventually. In the meantime, I can at least believe that the BBC saw what they say they saw. If the footage itself was faked, we will find out at some point.

                Yes, that’s true, did you read my comment?

                Also, I hate to break it to you, but the vast majority of news is hearsay. Only relatively few things are ever subjected to the level of scrutiny required by western courts of law.

                  you’ll forgive me if i don’t believe state-produced media parroting state-produced videos. “fog of war” and all.
