Israeli journalist Gideon Levy argues that Israel’s wars and occupation will not end unless the United States withdraws its unconditional support. That raises an even more troubling question: why does Washington continue to treat Israel as a close ally while accusations of grave war crimes mount?
Images of widespread destruction, civilian suffering, and allegations of starvation used as a weapon of war have shocked the world. International institutions, including the International Court of Justice, are examining claims related to possible violations of international law.
Allies should be held to the same moral and legal standards expected of any nation. When those standards appear to be ignored, credibility and the cause of human rights suffer.
If the United States truly stands for international law and human dignity, its policies must reflect those principles—without exceptions.
