Senior Senator, along with 10 Democratic Congressmen, ask the State Department to investigate alleged 'gross violations of human rights,' namely Israel's alleged extrajudicial killings of Palestinians.

An almost unbelievable heading even just five years ago- but the tide is turning. Israel's slide towards fascism is undermining its customary blanket support. About time too. Wakey, wakey.

Of course, the Senate and Congress have little idea, as yet, of the scale of Israeli criminality. It is withheld from them or ignored by AIPAC-controlled members. Time for change. Time for prosecutions and the ousting of Israel Firsters from the US government.
 
Marvelous how the political descendants of those who supported Hitler now support his political followers in 'Israel'. How they have the sheer brass neck to call others Jew haters is quite something, as if a concentration camp guard joined AIPAC - but, then, I expect any still alive have done!
 
Netanyahu Assails Leahy's Call to Probe Alleged Extrajudicial Killings: Israeli Soldiers Aren't Murderers

Well now, they obviously ARE murderers as there are videos, sound archives , statements and confessions to prove it- so it's evident that Netanyahu is a liar.

Should the US be giving these fascists 50 billion dollars before these investigations have taken place ?

And why is the leader of a foreign power attempting to interfere with a US government investigation ? Force of habit ?

Senator Leahy to Netanyahu: Investigating Alleged Israeli Abuses 'Only Fair to U.S. Taxpayers'

What about 'fairness ' to Palestinians, Mr. Leahy ?



U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on Thursday rejected Prime Minister Netanyahu's criticism and said that American law requires that the State Department investigate allegations of abuses by security forces in countries that receive U.S. aid, such as Israel
"This is only fair to U.S. taxpayers, and it is necessary in upholding the law that our country stands for," Leahy said in a statement.
Earlier, Netanyahu on Wednesday*attacked Senator Leahy for a letter asking U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry to investigate reports that Israeli forces may have committed exjudicial public executions of Palestinians.

However, despite overlooking the victims, Leahy is a shining light amidst the AIPAC-dumbed members of Congress and the Senate.;

The letter to Kerry, first reported in Politico, asserts that "[t]here have been a disturbing number of reports of possible gross violations of human rights by security forces in Israel and Egypt. [These] incidents that may have involved recipients, or potential recipients, of U.S. military assistance. We urge you to determine if these reports are credible and to inform us on your findings."
Leahy, head of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee of Defense, is considered one of the most senior senators in Congress. The Leahy Law, enacted in 1997, prohibits U.S. funding from equipping or training foreign military forces suspected of human rights abuses or war crimes.*

He's actually named in a law designed to prevent US taxpayers' dollars being handed to fascists- and the US is about to hand them $50 billions !!

Israel Forcibly closes More Bedouin Villages in Negev Desert

UMM AL-HERAN, Southern Israel, Apr 22 2016 (IPS) – Despite ostensibly freezing the Prawer Plan — a proposed bill to ‘regulate Bedouin settlement in the Negev’– in 2013, Israel continues to push for forced closure of unrecognised Bedouin villages in this southern region. The village of Umm al-Heran, near the Bedouin township of Hura, is amongst those slated for demolition.

That's US-funded ethnic cleansing. Proud of it ?
 
Leahy's a pretty big name in the Senate, so, not bad. I tell you, those Vermont senators are really raising hell, these days. :cof1:
