The final arbiters won't weigh in until years after the conflict is over. Currently, the US is the only organization other than Israel itself with meaningful oversight abilities short of direct military action against Israel.
Had the state department found Israel used US weapons to commit such a violation, US law would require us to stop sending them. There really isn't another arbiter that can do anything in time to make a difference.
The crime is not the payoff. It is the falsification of bussiness records.
How is Ben-Gvir a minister? And how is the US acting like a government that would appoint him as the minister of national security is conducting this war in anything resembling an ethical way?
When he turned 18 and reported for mandatory conscription, the IDF rejected him for being too extreme.
After Yitzhak Rabin signed the Oslo occords, the last best chance for a peaceful resolution to this conflict, Ben-Gvir stole Rabin's hood ornament and brandished it on national television saying something to the effect of "we got his ornament, we can get Rabin". Not long after, an Israeli extremist assasinated Rabin; and with him any hope of peace.
He has since been convicted, by an Israeli court, of supporting a terrorist organization (Kach), and incirement of racism.
That is the man in charge of Israel's national security.
Israel will also control the pier. The US is operating in close coordination with Israel, and of the 2, Israel is the only one who will have boots on the ground. The IDF already surrounds the pier. All aid flowing through the pier needs to be inspected by Israel before departing from Cyprus, then will need to pass through another set of Israeli checkpoints after being unloaded in Gaza before being distributed.
I'm aware of that. What I'm not aware of is how a pier helps. Israel has not conducted strikes in Egypt, or in Israel, so Israeli strikes are not a reason to have aid avoid either of those countries. The Israeli strikes have hit aid groups traveling within Gaza. It doesn't matter if aid gets to gaza at a land border, or an sea border. It still needs to be transported within Gaza, so it still has all of the same problems.
No we don't. There is 0 reason to build a humanitarian relief pier in Gaza. Most of Gaza's border is our "close ally" in this conflict. The other border is willing to aid to pass through their territory. Both countries are advanced, and have more than enough logistical infastructure to facilitate all the aid transfers that are nessasary.
The land corridor is more than capable of facilitating aid deliveries. The pier is a PR stunt to make it look like we are working on the problem.
That's what happens when you take dozens of gods that never agreed with other and collapse them into a single all knowing god. None of your stories make sense anymore, and any moral lesson they taught is lost.
Not just the court. The prosecutor's office as well. Their position is "we are ok with letting you go; as long as we can do it without admitting that we made a mistake".
And this is an institutional problem. The conviction happened 38 years ago. Everyone involved in prosecuting the case is gone. The office of the prosecutor is simply unable to admit that the office made a mistake.
Or, the lesson is: if you want to prosecute a rapist, don't bring up rapes other than the one you are prosecuting.
The defense brought this up at trial not because Weinstein had expensive lawyers, but because any competent defense attorney would. At that point, the judge decided the defense was wrong, and the prosecution decided to take the risk that the defense was right. That risk backfired. Now, every Judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney in the juristiction is on notice about how to correctly apply prior bad acts rules to sexual assult cases, so they should be able to avoid making this mistake again.
Symbolically, that is good. But practically, it does not really matter.
Israel and Iran are getting into a tit-for-tat. The problem is that they disagree on who is tit and who is tat. Iran (and the US, and every honest observer) thinks both sides got their strike in and considers the matter closed. Israel seems to think they are owed a strike. The problem is that if Israel takes another strike, Iran will feel that they need to take anotherone, at which point Israel will feel the need to take another one, ... . Unless one side is willing to let the other have the last attack, this ends in war.
For it to be meaningful, Biden would need to say "The US will not back you in a war with Iran if that comes as a result of this exchange"; but I can not imagine Biden doing that.
Israel's position in this matter is transparently farcicle. What seems to be happening here is:
...
Based on testimony and evidence presented at the Reed trial:
Even if the gun was loaded with blanks, this even would likely still have caused an injury (and possibly death, although likely not).
Baldwin will likely argue that Reed was supposed to know all of this and stopped him before the accident happened.
Sudo is a setuid binary, which means it executes with root permissions as a child of of the calling process. This technically works, but gives the untrusted process a lot of ways to mess with sudo and potentially exploit it for unauthorized access.
Run0 works by having a system service always running in the background as root. Running a command just sends a message to the already running seevice. This leaves a lot less room for exploits.
