Every person involved in arms transfers to Israel at the State Department is culpable, Veterans for Peace says.
Residents inspect the heavily damaged Al-Huda Mosque as a result of Israeli attacks on Rafah, Gaza, on February 12, 2024.A prominent veterans group is demanding that the State Department stop sending weapons to Israel, laying out an extensive case that sending Israel arms for its genocidal slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza is a violation of at least six U.S. laws regarding foreign assistance, weapons and military activity.their own investigations into the U.S.
The group says that there are “many credible reports” that Israel is violating international human rights laws and acting with genocidal intent in its assault of Gaza, made possible in large part byfinding that it is “plausible” that Israel is committing genocide and therefore potentially violating international guidelines as well as U.S. laws preventing officials from sending military assistance that would be used to commit war crimes.
The group cites testimony from Paul during the recent case suing the U.S. on behalf of Palestinians in which he says that the U.S. is not only aware of Israel’s violations but“Just as any good soldier can recognize when they are given an unlawful order, we believe some State Department staff are horrified at the orders they’re given and will decide to uphold the law, find the courage to speak out and demand an end to the carnage,” said Ferner in a statement.
