I've thought for a while that Ukraine would do well to issue some Letters of and .

But they were de-recognised from international law a while back, I gather.

IANAIL though.

Even #Biden’s Lawyers Are Urging the White House to Change Course on #Gaza

An open letter from government attorneys questions the legal cover for arms transfers to #Israel.

"In a message to Attorney General Merrick Garland and other senior officials this week, federal government attorneys invoked British abolitionist #WilliamWilberforce: 'You may choose to look the other way, but you can never say again that you did not know.'

"The letter, drafted by unnamed legal and policy staff at more than two dozen federal agencies, argues that the U.S. is violating domestic and international law by providing a steady stream of weapons to Israel despite evidence of war crimes in Gaza. Drawing comparisons to the infamous 'torture memos,' which were drafted by government lawyers to provide cover to #CIA #waterboarding and other tactics, the letter reminded fellow attorneys of their binding duty to follow the law over political priorities.

"Multiple provisions in U.S. law restrict the sale or provision of weapons to other countries, including the federal Arms Export Control Act, the Foreign Assistance Act, and the Leahy Law. The open letter draws on evidence from #HumanRightsWatch, #AmnestyInternational, and other watchdogs to argue that continuing to provide weapons to Israel blatantly violates these laws, in addition to international treaties.

"'There is strong evidence that American weapons are being used to commit a genocide and war crimes against the #Palestinian people in Gaza,' reads the letter sent to the Biden administration on Monday. It was addressed to all attorneys at the White House, Justice Department, State Department, Defense Department, and the U.S. Agency for International Development.

"'To the extent that you have been involved in these decisions or asked to provide legal analyses on the potential violations, we ask that you render candid advice.'

"Attorneys and legal staff from departments including Justice, Homeland Security and Labor, among other agencies, drafted the letter. They did not include their names. In interviews, four of the letter’s organizers — who spoke on the condition of anonymity — told The Intercept that they feared #reprisal.

"'There’s a fear of #retaliation and marginalization at speaking out over Gaza,' said a DOJ attorney who helped draft the letter and spread the word among his colleagues.

“There’s a fear of retaliation and marginalization at speaking out over Gaza,” said a DOJ attorney who helped draft the letter and spread the word among his colleagues.

"'There is an underbelly of the U.S. government who have been advocating in professional and personal roles to change the policy on Gaza,' said a DHS attorney, who has worked in the federal government for more than a decade. 'The #dissent is not just within the State Department,' the attorney said, referring to a string of recent #StateDepartment officials who have publicly resigned over Gaza.

"Those who signed the letter — which was first reported by Politico — see it as a way to leverage their familiarity with the federal government machinery to bring about change.

"'It’s not kids fresh out of college drafting this,' the DHS attorney said.

"Their letter was timed to the Biden administration’s deadline to report to Congress on whether Israel is, in fact, violating international law in Gaza using U.S.-supplied weapons. On Wednesday, the administration missed that deadline but said the report would be finalized in the coming days."

The most toxic #religious #invention of all time is the doctrine of delayed #Reprisal.

It allows #evil to thrive in the here and now and mollifies reprisal against evil in real time. For example, #JoelOsteen is the devil incarnate swindling thousands in real time while preaching the #ProsperityGospel. He needs to be tarred, feathered, and put in stocks where people can throw putrice upon his head.

But, the “faithful” would respond, oh, he’ll get his at #judgment. Yeah, right. He’s getting his, while taking yours, right now.

The doctrine of delayed reprisal is a religious #con that insulates #corrupt #power from immediate #consequence.
