The United States has announced that Netzah Yehuda, a controversial Israeli battalion notorious among Palestinians for repressive activities in the occupied West Bank, is eligible for US military assistance.
In 2022, soldiers from the unit handcuffed, blindfolded and gagged elderly US citizen Omar Assad and left him to die in a cold car park.
Under federal regulations known as the Leahy Law, the US is required to cut off assistance to military units involved in gross violations of human rights, but critics say that the US has long failed to apply the rule to Israel.

This isn’t the battalion who was videotaped raping someone, is it?
It’s the new IOKIYAR. IOKIYAI
Of course…
Everything is terrible as always.
Fuck no america don’t just fuckin don’t
I bet the threat was APAIC making sure they lose senate and house races, if not the presidential.
So, we effectively dragged our feet until we got assurances that the battalion corrected its behavior? Yet, when it comes to the UNWRA, we’re quick to cease funding on a faint glimmer of a rumor.
Israel and the US. Sodom and Gomorrah.
Daily reminder that Israel has become the modern day nazis
