Washington deep state ignored 500 separate reports of Israel killing civilians in Gaza with U.S. weapons, study finds

By ethanh // 2024-10-31

Over the past year, there have been more than 500 reports published about Israel's ongoing use of U.S.-made weapons to cause "unnecessary harm to civilians in the Gaza Strip." And yet, the power brokers in Washington, D.C., want absolutely nothing to do with any of them. Informed sources who spoke with The Washington Post claim that U.S. government agencies, international aid organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), media reports and eyewitness accounts are all aware of the fact that Israel is using U.S.-made weapons in Gaza. Many of them have even kept track of it all with "photo documentation of U.S.-made bomb fragments at sites where scores of children were killed." "Yet despite the State Department's internal Civilian Harm Incident Response Guidance, which directs officials to complete an investigation and recommend action within two months of launching an inquiry, no single case has reached the 'action' stage," the insider sources said. "More than two-thirds of cases remain unresolved, they said, with many pending a response from the Israeli government."

Palestinians "forced (by Israel) to drink dirty water," says media correspondent in Gaza

This revelation comes on the heels of another report published by The Post just one day prior about how Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) bombed a five-story residential building in north Gaza's Beit Lahia neighborhood, killing at least 77 people, 25 of them children, and injuring dozens of others. Gaza's Government Media Office later updated the total to 93 confirmed dead Palestinians, the point still remaining that Israel is using U.S.-made weapons to kill civilians in Gaza – and Washington is pretending as though nothing is happening. "Everything is being wiped out in Beit Lahia: shelters, schools, hospitals, houses," confirmed Hind Khoudary, Al Jazeera's correspondent in central Gaza. "The past couple of days had the most horrific air raids in residential areas ... We are talking about a siege for the past three weeks, meaning no water, no food, or aid. People are now forced to drink dirty water." Since the start of the war after October 7 of last year, at least 43,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, have died at the hands of the IDF. Further, the bodies of tens of thousands more Palestinians are believed to still be hidden underneath the rubble of the IDF's airstrikes. Earlier this month, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin sent a letter to Israeli officials giving them 30 days "to ensure noncombatants have access to food and other necessities," the implication being that U.S. aid, i.e., weapons and cash, to Israel will end unless the Benjamin Netanyahu regime changes course. However, a few days after Blinken and Austin sent that letter, a top White House official, Politico confirmed, told the heads of humanitarian aid organizations in Washington that the U.S. "would not consider withholding weapons from Israel for blocking food and medicine from entering [Gaza]." Put a different way, the White House is sending mixed messages. On the one hand, the deep state claims for public relations purposes that Israel will be cut off from weapons of war unless it stops doing what it is doing in Gaza, while on the other it is constantly reassuring Israel that it can do whatever it wants without consequence. Since October 2023, the U.S. government has sent Israel more than $23 billion in military assistance – $23 billion that came straight from the pockets of hardworking American taxpayers, many of whom are struggling to make ends meet while Israel exploits the fruits of their labor to ethnically cleanse Gaza.
