There are concerns that the report was watered down, but even so, it's a new level of criticism to say these issues formally in a report at this level.

Children outside a destroyed building in Gaza

US says Israel may have breached international law with American weapons in Gaza

Report says it is "reasonable to assess" there have been breaches in Gaza, but admits it does not have "complete information".

I can see my comment was deleted
It was a newspaper citing axios. Hopefully, this one is fine

i can see it’s behind paywall so here is a link from times of Israel

US will not impose sanctions on IDF unit for alleged rights violations — report

The United States will not impose sanctions on the Israeli military’s Netzah Yehuda battalion and has decided to end an investigation into potential rights violations by the unit in the West Bank, Axios reported on Friday.

The latest massacre of Palestinians which took place during Morning Prayer using American weapons. The remains of the American bomb are shown amidst the remains of the wreckage and carnage in the video within this CNN report.

True. Their inaction has made the world less safe, they've lost all credibility when it comes to human rights work, why should other countries with terrible human rights records listen to them now?

Is it me, or was the CITME board very quiet yesterday, the day Israel bombed a fucking school.

Unfortunately, I believe nobody is surprised about it anymore. It’s not the first one. Won’t be the last one. They said 19 hamas members were taken down in that action so that justifies it. *

* there is records of some of those hamas members been killed days before. Nobody is surprised either about Israelis lies

And bombed it at a time of day intended to maximise casualties.

From bbc.

if only he could have done something

President Biden has finally addressed one of the most challenging issues for his party, Israel's war in Gaza.
Progressive Democrats want the administration to call for an immediate ceasefire and to stop sending military aid to Israel.
In the hours leading up to Biden's speech, thousands of pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered in the streets outside the DNC.
"Those protesters out in the street have a point," Biden says, after acknowledging the "suffering" of civilians in Gaza.
"A lot of innocent people are being killed on both sides," he says, appearing to refer to Palestinians and Israelis.

Apologies as not us government related but happening in the states.

150 people have signed a petition to the emmys to remove a palestinian journalist from the nominees list

https://www.thewrap.com/its-bisan-from-gaza-emmy-nomination-natas-response/

The reason they did was this

'alleged involvement in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.'
Whether she is a member of a proscribed terrorist organisation is not confirmed, alleged.

Kriscross · 21/08/2024 07:48

If she is a member of a terrorist organisation then it would be like honoring a hamas member, so I can see the concern.

Indeed it’s not been proven so it feels like they were just trying to make accusations without any proof.

ScrollingLeaves · 21/08/2024 10:05

What I find concerning is that she would not be similarly banned for endorsing remarks by Ben-Givr, Smotrich, Netanyahu and the like.

Lalaloveya · 21/08/2024 15:06

Pro Israel lobbyists hard at work to destroy her name I see.

Martymcfly24 · 21/08/2024 15:27

At least it didn't work and her nomination stands.
Hopefully she will win

Edited

Haim Saban a.former IDF member signed it so if we are banning members or ex members of murderous organizations maybe he shouldn't get a say in the matter

Sad to see that Palestinian victims were not allowed to have representation at the Democratic Convention, only Israeli victims.

“Uncommitted delegates urge the Democratic Party to reject a hierarchy of human value by ensuring Palestinian voices are heard on the main stage. We are learning that Israeli hostages’ families will be speaking from the main stage,” they said in an earlier statement.
“We strongly support that decision and also strongly hope that we will also be hearing from Palestinians who’ve endured the largest civilian death toll since 1948.”

This is a recurring theme, Palestinian voices are not heard or sought in the US. I am confused what the hostage families speaking at the convention is meant to achieve? I am not saying that their voices shouldn't be heard but what will they be calling for? I guess I should reserve judgement until I hear what they have to say but I hope it will be a call for peace and an end to death and destruction for all innocent civilians.

Apologies posted without realising it was last night the Israeli hostage spoke, getting my time zones mixed up. Glad they got an opportunity to speak but do feel victims from both sides of this conflict should have had the chance to talk about their experience
