U.S. Democratic Senator spreading blood libel

Senator Leahy with his friend

Senator Leahy thinks that IDF (or at least part of it) operates under a different moral code than the rest of the armies including NATO and the US; that accomplishing military objective with the least lost of life possible is not what it is after - there is something else - the blood, spilled beyond necessary. He is not advocating cutting funds to US army, no ending support or cooperation with armies of NATO or any other country. It's just the Jewish Army.
The whole idea of cutting aid to certain units specifically (as if US directly funds every IDF unit) cater to antisemitic favorite: US aid to Israel. The rest of US foreign assistance, which makes the bulk of it usually not mentioned as often and not specified(though Egypt gets almost as much funds as Israel). But the key here is not money. The goal is to mention IDF in this context. And this is blood libel pure and simple.

My opinion, based on what is available in the press (and we know quite a bit about violations of human rights by other armies including the US) IDF should be used as an example of moral conduct under circumstances where the goal of the enemy is not to win, but to depict IDF in terms of human rights violations. Almost 40 years now (since 1973) Israel is fighting with militarily inferior enemies. They know they can't win a battle. Their objective is different: to give a chance to people like senator Leahy to exercise their anti-semitism.
