    Even when admitting the atrocities, it’s weasel words. Cowards.

      I don’t think the US State Department oversees international law. They wouldn’t be the final arbiter.

        The final arbiters won’t weigh in until years after the conflict is over. Currently, the US is the only organization other than Israel itself with meaningful oversight abilities short of direct military action against Israel.

        Had the state department found Israel used US weapons to commit such a violation, US law would require us to stop sending them. There really isn’t another arbiter that can do anything in time to make a difference.
