I understand the argument and I completely disagree with sending any support to Israel so they can continue genociding Palestinians. Is what you’re referencing actually a thing though. I understand aiding and abetting, I just don’t know if that actually makes it criminal in the actual written law.
Yes, it does both in international and US domestic law
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 Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and other watchdogs to argue that continuing to provide weapons to Israel blatantly violates these laws, in addition to international treaties.
Thank you for that. I am aware of these and I don’t see anywhere that dictates war crimes as the OP suggested. I understand the criminality but that doesn’t mean war crime.
I was just trying to point out that screaming war crime at everything is not necessary.
US weapons are being used for war crimes tho? The US is providing military aid unconditionally, knowing full well they are being used to violate humanitarian international law. The State providing the unconditional means for another state to commit war crimes is just as culpable as the state committing the war crimes.
Do you not know how to read or are you then literally choosing to not reply in good faith to what you are reading. Either way that is toxic af and you know it.

I sell some one a gun that I know they’re going to commit murder with. I know all the details; who, what, where, why, and when.
Am I guilty of murder?
Yes. The answer is yes.

It is literally and by definition, a war crime.
