Earlier this month, as Americans celebrated the July 4th holiday, Israel committed its umpteenth massacre in the West Bank town of Jenin, in a territory illegally occupied by Israel for the past 56 odd years.
The Jenin massacre left twelve Palestinians dead, four of them children. The youngest two victims were 15 and 17 years old, with 50 reported injured. Equally insidiously, a staggering 3000 Palestinian civilians were violently displaced, with many media reports of Israeli soldiers forcing families out of their properties at gunpoint.
Predictably, the latest atrocity in Jenin, orchestrated by the domestically challenged Benjamin Netanyahu regime, has been greeted with a mixture of apathy and support by the entirety of the US political establishment. Despite vague comments by President Joe Biden pointing to the extreme right wing nature of some Israeli politicians, U.S. aid to Israel to the tune of $3 billion per year continues unabated.
The U.S. government’s own Conventional Arms Transfer Policy supposedly forbids arms transfer to human rights abusers. In practice, human rights violations do not appear to be considered human rights violations by the U.S. government as long as they are carried out against Palestinians civilians, children and other non combatants included.If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
