Arming genocide? New report documents use of US arms in Israeli war crimes | UpFront

- This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to the authors of a new scathing report on US arms sales to Israel.
As Israel’s war on Gaza continues for a seventh month, killing more than 34,000 Palestinians and 200 humanitarian workers, the United States just approved roughly $15bn in military aid to Israel. But is this transfer of weapons against both domestic and international law?
A scathing report released this week argues that by providing weapons that may be used in war crimes, the Biden administration may have acted in violation of not just international law, but its own regulations.
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to the authors of this report, lawyer and scholar Noura Erakat and former senior official at the US Department of State Josh Paul.

Free Palestine from Israel occupation.
And pray tell? How many of those occupants were in occupying Palestine before 10/7?
Palestine rejected 2 States solution,
After 7 days war Israel won, natural war law, whoever wins they will rule...so now Israel has rights,
As per history, first Jews rulling area, later Muslim, now again Jews,
Also in this war
Hamas started this war, 1st day fired 4000 to 5000 rocket killed 1200 people, kidnapping, women rape, womb removed....
So Justice looks towards Israel,
killing children not accepted, Israel should have different strategies.....but reality only knows by military soldiers....

Why No sanctions against Israel for violating international law …??
Why double standards…??
If it wasn't for double standards, politicians would have no standards at all.
Aipac has them all bought and paid for. Anyone speaking out against Israel isnt on the payroll.
Of course, no sanctions +billions for bombs🤬 ... us doesn't even violate international law!(according to us top military guy😡
Because Iran and Qatar fund Hamas. No sanctions against them either. This is war.
Majority of countries that can make sanctions effective in Israel are allies with the country that's currently arming Israel and also shield her from missile attack. For that reason, I don't think sanctions can be effective.
USA is said to be pondering sanctions against IDF, but they are still approving budgets for military aid for Israel.
I think the world need to wake up, now, before it is too late and do something to defend humanity from war mongers who feed on human blood.
Wake up..!
Israel is leading the world to a better understanding that nothing can stop her from committing genocide in Gaza, but a military intervention by the peace loving countries, if they still exist.

It took 40 Years for the USA to sign on to the 1948 UN Genocide Convention... and it was the atrocities committed by the U.S. on the N. American Tribal Nations which fronted the delay. Ironically, in 1987, it was a Congressman from Delaware who finally signed on for the U.S... none other than now President Joseph Robinette Biden.
If you tell a Lie often enough... it becomes Israel's.
Here is an interesting statistics.
By polls, 75% of Gazans think that the Al-Aqsa Flood Rape Genocide was a great success.
After seeing the pictures of destruction coming from Gaza I can say - you can't argue with success.

Very definitely, *YES* is the answer to the question. Not only does the US aid to Israel violate international law, it violates US law too.
Correct!
According to international law, Hamas are allowed to hide behind women, children and aid workers!

USA should be held accountable at the ICJ for funding this genocide
ICJ tried to investigate war crime committed by US military force in Afghanistan in 2020, but their attempt was blocked by US government.
They still haven't been held accountable for slavery and genocide of melanated Americans
So would ur allies china, Russia, syria
Which international law? There's no rules for America, Germany, UK & Israel.
Why didn't you include the rest of NATO ?

You are miserably mistaken old guy. The Leahy law prohibits the U.S. from assisting any foreign government support when credible evidence of GVHR has been made clear. The U.S. is not only complicit but guilty of crimes against humanity.

@@agrlockwd1492 read to understand what I said fool...... American, UK, Israel, Germany all bloodsuckers, including you.
USA: "Do you even understand what the Rules-Based World Order means? It means rules for thee but not for me!!"
“Sharia Law for thee be freedom for me”- ancient Arab proverb
you say nations will "eventually" be held to account for these crimes.. but, America still hasnt been held to account for the genocide of native Americans, nor for slavery, nor for the Korean war, nor for the Vietnam war, or bombing Laos & Cambodia, nor for the countless coups worldwide overthrowing democratic countries and putting dictatorships in their place. If America were truly held accountable for all its crimes, it would be a trillion trillion dollars in debt
first of all, law is something we create, and the strongest has the strongest law.. secondly USA is in around 30 trillion in debt already..
It's already in debt to the tune of $34 trillion.
That’s why it is imperative to stop trading in US dollars as it will defund and reduce their capabilities of funding these global conflicts
WOW! Thank You! You hit the nail on the head! Right on bro'. Well said! Thank You!
Com certeza, a América não é o mocinho!
UN investigator Francesca Albanese says she could write a encyclopedia on the crimes in the occupied territories.
Thank you Mark for telling the truth of genocide of the Palestinians and discrimination of Human Rights
This shouldn't even be a question at this point.
It's obvious to anyone with eyes
We must not be silent while witnessing injustice. Israel is committing war crimes and US is complicit in those crimes
USA is aiding and providing genocide
She's right no statue of limitations, American is losing a lot of power, genocide is a national crime that impacts the civilians of a nation even if they don't agree 😔 future generations will suffer from this.
Huge respect for Josh Paul he is a man with intelligence and integrity he should be awarded gov position and not to be forced to quit because laws are being broken.
The American government must be held accountable, as it is the cause of all this destruction in all countries
You should know by now, International law doesn’t apply to the US, lol.
"Almost a stubbornness" is the nicest way of saying "gangsterismo for zionism" I've ever heard.

I'll never forget what Chris hedges said what leaders do to Palestinians today they will do to you tomorrow😮😢
the D. O.J. and the F B I should enforce the Leahy Amendment on congress and the president and halt the transfer of arms and money to war criminals .
Doj ,fbi 😅😅😅😅😅 corruption at it's finest
Those organizations in the US are corrupt and criminal on their own.
After 6 months of pumping weapons and money, the 🇺🇸Secretary of State came out and said: Ha. mas must surrender. Excuse me: What has 🇮🇱 been doing all this time? If it is able to achieve this, why do you go out and beg Ha. mas to lay down its arms? Or are you saddened by 🇮🇱 failure after all this support??!
lol- Israel, the US, and people ALL OVER THE WORLD having been saying that Hamas needs to return the hostages and lay down arms since 10.7
Let our people go.
@@RedditBan If they wanted a peaceful solution, why did America refuse to accept Palestine as a member state in the United Nations?
@@RedditBanThat's not true. If they give up their hostages, there is no reason for the Israeli governent to stop. They don't care about the hostages
@@MariaAlex-qn8kl did they meet the criteria to be accepted?
@RabbitBad 76 year occupation, over 16 years of blockades... over 10,000 innocent children, teens, young adults, families, elderly STILL held captive throughout the STOLEN Palestine land called IsraHELL... and you're still distracting and deflecting to One Day in October last year, when 1200 people were killed? There have been over 35,000 innocent Palestinians murdered since that DAY.
Ironically Congress passed the bill on Adolf Hitler's birthday April 20, 1889. For the US to confirm war crimes were committed by the IDF would mean that the USA would be in violation of not only international law, but domestic law. At this point in time, the US is well aware of war crimes and if they cannot agree that Israel is engaged in apartheid, racism, ethnic cleansing and genocide against the Palestinian people, they must be seriously delusional, dethatched from reality or outright deceitful.
The Foreign Assistance Act, which forbids the provision of assistance to a government which engages in a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights. The Arms Export Control Act, which says countries that receive U.S. military aid can only use weapons for legitimate self-defense and internal security. The U.S. War Crimes Act, which forbids grave breaches of the Geneva Conventions, including the willful torture, killing, or inhuman treatment. The Leahy Law, which prohibits the U.S. government from using funds for assistance to units of foreign security forces where there is credible information implicating that unit in the commission of gross violations of human rights. And the Genocide Convention Implementation Act, which was enacted to implement U.S. obligations under the Genocide Convention, and Israel would push for that, and provides for criminal penalties for individuals who commit or incite others to commit genocide.
But international law is meaningless if there is no political will to enforce it.
The US mouthpieces look like absolute morons. They know exactly what is happening because they are an equal partner in what is happening and what has happened all along. Israel has never been held to account or following rules, orders or laws compliments of the U.S. always running cover.
Big love to everyone trying to keep the scumbags accountable.
Fighting for a motherland doesn't make you a terrorist rather a warrior

Can the UN stop Israel with the USA and UK vetoes ?
The UN or other agencies need to do something. What is happening is obvious and a handful of people in the world should not be able to carry out what it is. It’s mind blowingly absurd!
UN can't. Tell yourself the truth and stop blaming good friends for supporting one another against terrorism.
It heartbreaking to watch what going on nothing we can do
Not proud to be American now days
Most Americans don't support Genocide, but they can't stop their govt from funding and supporting it.
Same. I haven’t flown my American flag in several months and I have flown it every single day for years.
Absolutely a crime. If you and a friend go into a store together one robs the store, both are charged.
Thank you for the beautiful coverage
I agree with the conclusions of this program, but we hear this only on Al Jazeera.
You won’t hear it on US mainstream. Many people don’t have a clue of the immensity of what is currently in progress.
And that's why the Israeli government banned them

US mainstream media only shows what can be spun in absolute bias
Of course they won't. They are very pro Zionism and more than 99% of them praise Israel. Christiane Amapour is the exception at CNN. She seems more aware of Palestinians' plight
And Blinken refused to release it

Like Norman Finkelstein says:
If the United States of America and Israel will just OBEY THE LAW, then the Israel-Palestine conflict will be resolved 🇵🇸
