The report said that conclusion was based in part on the difficulty of collecting reliable information from the #war zone & the way #Hamas operates in densely populated areas. It also stressed that #Israel has begun the process of seeking accountability for possible violations of the #law, a key component in the #UnitedStates assessment about whether to provide #military aid to allies accused of #HumanRights violations.

The report also noted that “#Israel has not shared complete information to verify” whether #US #weapons have been used in specific incidents alleged to have involved #HumanRights #law violations.
Nevertheless, the report, mandated by President #Biden, deems that assurances Israel provided in March that it would use #US arms consistent w/ #InternationalLaw are “credible & reliable” & thus allow the continued flow of #UnitedStates #military aid.
In the admin’s most detailed assessment of #Israel’s conduct in #Gaza, #State said in a written report to #Congress that Israel “has the knowledge, experience & tools to implement best practices for mitigating #civilian harm in its #military operations.”
But it added that “the results on the ground, including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions” as to whether the #IDF are using them sufficiently.

The #Biden admin has concluded it is “reasonable to assess” that #Israel’s military campaign in #Gaza has violated #InternationalLaw, but has not found specific instances that would justify the withholding of #military aid, #State Dept told #Congress Fri.

Humanitarian Crisis🚨in Gaza:
The Israeli occupation's takeover of the #Rafah border crossing not only blocked the entry of humanitarian aid but forced the #WorldCentralKitchen TO HALT ITS OPERATIONS, forcing hundreds of Palestinians into even more difficulty in securing food.
In their statement, the WCK said, "Our field kitchens & community kitchens outside evacuation zones provided >168K meals in communities around Rafah & Deir al-Balah."

"“We are horrified at details emerging from mass graves recently unearthed in the #Gaza Strip. Over 390 bodies have been discovered at Nasser and Al Shifa #hospitals, including of #women and #children, with many reportedly showing signs of #torture and summary executions, and potential instances of people buried alive,” the experts said.
...as of 29 April 2024, of 34,488 #Palestinians killed in Gaza, 14,500 have been children and 9,500 women."

Inside the #WhiteHouse Scramble to Broker a Deal in #Gaza
The flurry of actions underscores how fluid the situation in the region is as #POTUS #Biden & his team try to ultimately end the #war that has devastated Gaza.
Over the course of a few hours, the news from the #MiddleEast came into the WH Situation Room fast & furious.

To no one's surprise:
"Israel strikes targets in eastern Rafah."
"Israeli Prime Minister says deal Hamas accepted is 'far from meeting Israel's demands', and Israel will send a working delegation to negotiate further."

Israel raids Al Jazeera’s offices after banning broadcaster
Al Jazeera’s broadcasts and access to its website are now blocked throughout Israel.Galit Altstein (The Japan Times)
In yet another bad sign for #democracy:
#Netanyahu has essentially banned #FreePress in #Israel. His cabinet *voted* to kick #AlJazeera out of Israel says its #journalists are threats to #NationalSecurity.
I guess the pen truly is mightier than the sword & all that.

I can’t get over #Trump saying watching students & police clash
“WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH”
Yesterday Trump said talking about the #protests:
"[#Biden] said he ran because of #Charlottesville.… Well, if the people that know Charlottesville, when you extend that statement, it’s a big hoax. Charlottesville is peanuts compared to what you’re looking at now."

#POTUS #Biden is set to give a speech on May 7 at a ceremony commemorating the Holocaust.
#DouglasEmhoff, husband of VP #KamalaHarris, said at an event in New York on Wednesday that, "We’re in favor of the right to #protest. But when that crosses into #violence — when that crosse into calls for genocide, calls for Jews to be murdered, that’s completely unacceptable & must be stopped.”
#Israel #Gaza #Palestinians #FreedomOfAssembly #FirstAmendment #law
#Biden’s stance is more nuanced, more difficult to explain to a mass audience. He supports #peaceful #protests consistent w/ the #FirstAmendment, but not #demonstrations that result in vandalism, trespassing & other #crimes.
Like the #protesters, Biden believes that #Israel has inflicted too much carnage in #Gaza. Unlike some of them, he defends Israel’s sovereignty & recoils at the notion of Jews losing a homeland.
Speaking at a campaign event in #Wisconsin on Wed, #Trump derided the #protesters as “raging lunatics & Hamas sympathizers," & called on #Biden to “speak out” — accusing him of being “definitely against #Israel.”
Trump also took aim at #Columbia’s president, Minouche Shafik….
“The person that heads it up — a woman — she waited so long. She was so weak. She was so afraid. She was so bad.”

#Trump says #police raid on university #protesters 'beautiful to watch'
Trump, at a rally in Waukesha, #Wisconsin, called for tougher action against campus protests & again suggested some of the protesters were paid actors. He called on college presidents to “remove the encampments immediately, vanquish the locals & take back our campuses for all of the normal students.”

As pro-Palestinian #protests continued to escalate across the country, ofcls & students at #BrownUniversity set a rare example on Tues: They made a deal.
Demonstrators agreed to dismantle their encampment at #Brown, which had been removed by Tues evening, & university leaders said they would discuss, & later vote on, divesting funds from companies connected to the #IDF campaign in #Gaza.

😂 🙄 I knew you are not interested in the history 🤦🏻♀️
You like to put up smoke screens and if there is someone who exposes you, you suddenly show your true hatred as a real genuine Jew hater
🤷🏻♀️ You are probably a Muslim who has sworn death to all Jews and non-Muslims in this world
I feel sorry for people who are so narrow-minded as you are
Continue this conversation is useless so I wish you a respectful day.
