"Israel has not shared complete information to verify whether U.S. defense articles covered under NSM-20 were specifically used in actions that have been alleged as violations of IHL or IHRL in Gaza, or in the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the period of the report," it said.

Because of that, the administration said it still finds credible Israel's assurances that it is using U.S. weapons in accordance with international law.

The perpetrator didn't tell us what happened so we find their written assurance of innocence still valid.

That's the UN charter, not the UN partition plan for mandatory Palestine. Israel was established through military aggression, which is what Russia is currently trying to do in Ukraine.

In those 75 years, many Israeli people were born on this land, and it really is their home.

Wait so this concept is only valid for Israelis?

Saying, for instance, that “the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor” would be deemed anti-Semitic under its terms. The definition also bars any comparison between “contemporary Israeli policy” and “that of the Nazis”.

Lmao this is a guilty conscience talking.

just for being Jewish

I think it was because of Israeli actions in Palestine, not just because of their ethnicity.

Zionists are using Jews as human shields.

Not because, no. I think it's greed.

This is like the "there are some responsible assault rifle owners" argument. Although corporations are not required by law to maximize investor returns, CEO "compensation" is often tied to "performance" so the incentives of those with the most decision power make it de facto required to maximize returns to investors. That's why Musk needed to convince his board of directors (who are there to represent the best interests of the share holders) to approve some ridiculous pay package. His "performance" in their eyes is proportional to share holder profits so if they're happy, he gets his absurd pay package, which is why his incentive is to maximize profits for shareholders by any means necessary.

Don't you do some background checks on the sources you read & quote? Or do you tend to follow the herd? Here's some info from Wikipedia on the founder & president of NGO Monitor, Gerald Steinberg:

Yehudit Karp, a former Israeli deputy attorney general, charged that Steinberg published material he knew to be wrong "along with some manipulative interpretation".[21]

Reporter Uriel Heilman said that Steinberg played "fast and loose" with the facts by repeating comments about the New Israel Fund that Steinberg knew were untrue. In response, Steinberg acknowledged that some of his reports were poorly phrased and promised to correct them.[22]

In The Jerusalem Post, Kenneth Roth wrote that Steinberg shows a "disregard for basic facts" when writing about human rights.

Imagine how hateful and depraved you would have to be to pay tons of money to Google Ads to promote your page and agenda to deceptively block people from donating money to those in need. That's NGO Monitor and that's what you're supporting.

Edit: I'm sure you're also very interested to find out the facts behind Israel's accusations of UNRWA workers so here's the latest:
