We don't have to witness all this and sit still wishing something can be done to stop it. Some things can be done. The US government should be held to account for using our tax money to help Israel commit war crimes every second. Just saw Charles Blaha (https://www.justsecurity.org/author/blahacharles/). on Democracy Now. He is a member of DAWN, (https://dawnmena.org) Dawn is bringing a new lawsuit accusing the State Department of failing to sanction Israeli military units under the Leahy Law, which was passed in 1997 to prevent the United States from funding foreign military units credibly implicated in gross human rights violations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leahy_Law There is a mountain of evidence of Israel carrying out torture, extrajudicial killings, rape, enforced disappearances and other abuses. "Despite all that, the State Department has never once held any Israeli unit ineligible for assistance under the Leahy Law," I am donating to DAWN....it is tax deductible, unlike the other places I have donated to for the Palestinians.
