    None of that matters if they’re committing war crimes. That was the entire point of the Leahy Amendments and later the Leahy Law.

      Yes. That’s a question that has been raised by the US department of state that we might see an answer to in our life times of we’re lucky.

        Not likely. The Department of State has been shielding them from Leahy for decades. They setup a special committee just for Israel. To shield them from accountability for things like shooting protest medics on purpose; continuing to settle the West Bank in blatant violation of international law; holding thousands of Palestinians without charge; and just so much bombing of civilians.
