Conditioning military aid enables Israeli forces' abuses in Palestine.

Blinken's decision to continue military aid to Israeli units involved in credible reports of serious human rights violations against Palestinians enables further atrocities with impunity. The meager punishments, such as community service for killing an unarmed Palestinian, undermine the Leahy Laws' intent to prevent assistance to abusive forces. Allowing these units to remain eligible for aid compromises efforts to hold the Israeli military accountable and prioritizes military assistance over addressing grave injustices in occupied territories. This problematic stance damages America's credibility on human rights. Blinken must be held accountable to aiding in war crimes.
