Warnings from United Nations experts about alleged torture and abuse of Palestinian detainees should trigger immediate international action—not more statements of concern. Reports describing severe mistreatment, including of minors, demand urgent, independent investigation and accountability.
Despite this, the United States continues to provide unconditional military and economic support to Israel. This is a conscious choice to ignore credible allegations and to risk complicity in serious violations of international law. Our commitment to human rights cannot be selective.
All aid must be suspended pending full, transparent investigations by independent international bodies. Legal accountability must follow wherever the evidence leads, including through institutions such as the International Court of Justice.
History will not look kindly on those who had the power to act and chose not to. If the rule of law is to mean anything, it must be enforced consistently—especially when it is most inconvenient.
Silence is not neutrality. It is complicity.
