"The Biden administration, after reportedly finding three battalions within the Israeli occupation forces to be violating human rights and taking the decision to sanction it, decided not to proceed with the punitive measures.
The three battalions, found to be committing 'gross human rights violations' against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, will walk away scott-free as no sanctions will be imposed on them, ABC News reported.
US Secretary of State Antony Binken informed US House Speaker Mike Johnson of the decision in a Friday letter, wherein he reportedly said the fact that they were found to be violating human rights would not impede or delay the delivery of any type of assistance to the Israeli occupation.
Blinken underlined that the Israeli occupation forces would receive the full amount of arms and funds appropriated by Congress."

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

getting into the fatt fandom on this site means being adjacent to many kinds of leftists and I just want to say preemptively: if you believe the uyghur genocide is a hoax please don’t come anywhere near me.
I haven’t seen anyone do so on my dash, and more often it is unrelated posts people are reblogging and me checking out the op to find that they’re engaging in genocide denial.
I guess I’m available for good faith questions but like. I’m Uyghur and have been in the diaspora for my lifetime. My personal experience and my family’s direct experience is what I have. If you want to counter that with official statements of denial from the state I have nothing to say to you.

My insane friend told me there are gendered ways to have buttons on a jacket and now im insecure about how I draw buttons like God forbid people think my ocs are girls because of how they have their buttons, not a single person on the planet thinks about that but him apparently. Because I draw with my right hand I always add buttons to the left subconsciously. Wish he never brought it up because I'll take half a second to think about it when I draw
