The US Secretary of State has been ignoring proposals to cut aid to Israel since last December

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken did not respond to the proposal of a special commission under his department to suspend assistance to Israeli forces due to human rights violations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of Jordan, writes New York news ProPublica portal with reference to a number of current and former American officials.

The story states that a special State Department committee known as the Israel Leahy Review Forum (named after former Senator Patrick Leahy) recommended last December that Blinken should deny the IDF the opportunity to receive US assistance in connection with violations of the rights of the Palestinian people.

However, as the publication writes, the above-mentioned recommendations are still in the head of the State Department “in his briefcase” and are completely ignored by him.

According to journalists, the panel reviewed incidents including extrajudicial killings of Palestinians by Israeli police, as well as the recent arrest of an elderly Palestinian-American man who later died. Moreover, many cases of human rights violations took place in the Israeli-occupied West Bank of Jordan even before the IDF operation in the Gaza Strip.

In turn, the authors of the article emphasize that, despite tens of thousands of casualties among the Palestinian civilian population, the United States continues to supply weapon Israel. Moreover, Washington also vetoed all UN Security Council resolutions that called for an immediate ceasefire in the besieged Palestinian territory.

At the same time, as stated in the material, human rights organizations monitoring the IDF aggression against Gaza have collected eyewitness accounts and videos proving Israeli war crimes. Separately, earlier this week, more than two dozen Democratic lawmakers sent a letter to U.S. President Joe Biden's administration calling for a thorough investigation into allegations that Israel did not use American weapons in violation of international law.

What do you want? A Jew cannot remain indifferent to Israel, which is also an ally of the United States in the Middle East. Blinken, as a Jew by blood, is not interested in any Palestinians, be they old people, women, children.

Nothing new... the “chosen ones” have a leg, those who need a leg! And for the rest, who are not their “dog children”... they care, nothing and nothing.

They don’t abandon their own, that’s how it should be. We need to take an example from the children of Israel, by the way, who knows who. when was genocide proven?
