but that it hasn't violated terms of U.S. weapons agreements.

We have weapons sales agreements that don't comport to international law? Or don't care about it?

In a report to Congress, the State Department said it hasnt verified specific instances that would justify withholding military aid.

I'm at the point where I'm going to assume it has been deliberately left unverified.

we do not currently assess that the Israeli government is prohibiting or otherwise restricting the transport or delivery of U.S. humanitarian assistance" under the Foreign Assistance Act, the report said.

Read the act again, then read a goddamn newspaper. We have one of the most sophisticated intelligence gathering apparatuses in the world, if not the most.

It's absurd to think they could assess something so badly and in contradiction to reality as a matter of the system making that conclusion.

oted that results in the field, "including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions" about whether the Israel Defense Forces are "using them effectively in all cases."

Doublespeak. The excuses get worse the more they talk and the longer this article goes on.

The report also pointed to limitations as far as U.S. access to information from Israel. While Israel provided some information "on request" about specific incidents related to targeting decisions and battled damage assessments, more details are needed, the report said.

If our allies, and allegedly one of our closest and most stalwart allies, is unwilling to share accurate intelligence gathered from the field, why is no one asking whether or not they're still our stalwart ally?

Iran was sharing more details with us before Trump ripped up the nuclear deal than we're getting from Israel about their operations... and somehow our state dept is hunkey dorey with that? What the actual fuck is our government at this point?

We're almost pretending less than Israel that the obvious isn't going on. And Israel hasn't really been bothering to pretend for months.
