“There’s no incentive to investigate if the president and the White House themselves have announced that aid is unconditional,” said Brian Finucane, who worked for a decade in the Office of the Legal Adviser at the State Department advising on arms transfers and the laws of war.

“That means they don’t want to hear inconvenient legal conclusions,” he told The Independent.

Mr Finucane said senior administration officials he had spoken to had been met with a “shrug” by the US intelligence community when they quizzed them about mass civilian casualty incidents caused by Israeli bombing, “because it’s no one’s job in the US intelligence community, apparently, to actually investigate these things.”

    I’ll also thank you for helping to take away my partners rights (bodily autonomy) by allowing Trump to win. Go be acedemic all you want but we’re going to actually lose a lot if trump wins.

        No, I’ll thank you. You want to use one bad decision to justify another bad decision. And people in this country will suffer for it. And Palestinians will also suffer even more for it. Trump wants to nuke them, so have fun with that choice.
