Amnesty Int'l: Biden Must Halt Weapon Sales to Israel After U.S. Arms Used to Kill Civilians in Gaza

A new report from Amnesty International finds the sale of U.S.weapons to Israel for use in its indiscriminate assault in Gaza is in violation of U.S. and international law. We speak to Budour Hassan, a Palestinian writer and contributing researcher to the report, who says the U.S. is "complicit in the commission of war crimes" and must "halt all arms transfer to Israel as long as Israel continues to fail to comply with international humanitarian law and international human rights law." We also discuss Israel's detention of thousands of Palestinians without charge, the inadequacy of U.S. human rights investigations into the Israeli military, and Israel's threatened ground invasion of Rafah.
