        Didn’t you hear? Israel sent a “credible certification” it wasn’t committing war crimes to the state department. Who is now breathlessly pushing news updates saying there’s no evidence Israel is committing war crimes with US weapons. That “credible certification”? A letter written by a high ranking government official.

        Leahy Law is a dead letter.

        Right? Israel straight up announced it would keep Palestinians out of the port. To secure aid that was already vetted in Cyprus. There is no reason for that unless they’re planning to block delivery.

          It’s because the port is a forward operating base and entrenches the annexation of Northern Gaza. They built a road splitting Gaza into two and are shooting anyone who approaches it. Add to that the US wants warships present to defend the oilfields it’s just been liscenced by the occupation forces.

          This is, and always was, about money and ethnic cleansing. Fuck israel, free Palestine.
