Rep. Katie Porter says the State Dept. is sitting on memos of human rights violations by Israel
The U.S. is still considering providing aid to an Israeli military unit after determining it was credibly implicated in gross human rights violations against Palestinians prior to October 7th. Rep. Katie Porter, who received a rare individual briefing from the State Department, says she has major questions about why this is happening. "The law is clear here. What is not clear is what has happened at the State Department and who, if anyone, besides Secretary Blinken may be implicated in this decision."

No country should be above the law. Israel should be no exception. The word out of Israel is that Hamas is the problem yet the human rights violations by Israel shows just the opposite.

In 60s students change course of brutal vietnam war and the horrendous apartheid apartheid in South Africa.
So, does America have a special process for aid to Israel as a workaround for the human rights crimes they are committing? If we make receiving aid contingent on individual military units, then Israel only needs to keep some units in compliance in order to receive aid as a country. This sounds like a huge loophole designed to allow US military contractors and the government to continue the big business of selling weapons.

How can our lawmakers willfully send billions of dollars to a foreign country who is committing gross violations of human rights and war crimes while our wages are stagnating, our health care system is broken and the cost of living is going up.
Protests matter. Rules against aid to units that violate human rights stem directly from protests against the military's School of the Americas led by Martin Sheen, Susan Sarandon and others.

Stalling by sitting on memos doesn't undo the violations of the Leahy Act (or other relevant laws), it just ups the number of violations committed before the root causes can be corrected.
