UN 'Investigates' Torture as US Funds the Iron Fist
According to Al Jazeera, the UN is launching into the murky waters of 'reports' concerning Israeli detention practices. 'Systematic' and 'widespread' torture are the key phrases here. But let's be clear: these aren't 'reports' in the sense of fresh allegations; they are decades of documented reality from organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International. The US, meanwhile, continues
its steadfast 'security assistance.' For instance, the US House passed HR 815, providing $14.1 billion to Israel, in February 2024. Just last year, Senators like Mitch McConnell (R-KY), a consistent recipient of pro-Israel PAC funds totaling over $1.3 million throughout his career according to OpenSecrets.org, vocally supported such aid, ensuring the very state accused of these violations is
well-equipped. So, as the UN 'investigates,' one might ponder how many times a government must be 'investigated' for the same 'reports' before the 'aid' stops making a mockery of 'human rights.' It appears some atrocities are more 'investigatable' than 'actionable' when your patrons are footing the bill.
